----------------------------------------
Open the cover of the new ThinkPad(R) 760C or CD -- see the new,
extra-large 12.1-inch (measured diagonally) SVGA TFT display and the
new styling of the tilted keyboard with built-in palm rest -- and you will
realize that you are experiencing IBM's new generation of
ThinkPad notebooks. Add to that a fast Pentium** processor (up to
120MHz), large-capacity hard disk storage (up to 1.2GB*), media
processor (Mwave(R) Digital Signal Processor (DSP)), dual Infrared
(IR) transceivers, 64K color support, and highly functional ThinkPad
UltraBay(TM) -- you have everything you need, and more, in a compact,
light-weight notebook.
These new color models of the ThinkPad family emphasize faster
performance and advanced function. This function includes the
integrated media processor (Mwave DSP) providing stereo audio
support, .WAV and MIDI audio support, integrated (up to 28.8 Kbps)
data/fax modem support, full-feature telephony support (speakerphone
and telephone answering machine), and a slide volume control. The
ThinkPad 28.8 Kbps modem is the new 2.0 version of Mwave and
delivers significant improvements in usability, audio support, and
speakerphone quality. Additional function also includes integrated
IR for wireless data/file transfer.
Consider the ThinkPad 760CD system solution if you need more
advanced and integrated multimedia capability -- CD-ROM, audio, and
video combined. The integrated removable CD-ROM drive (150/600 Kbs),
Total Image Video with MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 Half Horizontal Resolution
(HHR) support, stereo speakers, theater sound (MIDI Wave Table Audio),
and other features make the ThinkPad 760CD far more than MPC-2
compliant, setting it apart from the rest of the ThinkPad family and much
heavier and less integrated multimedia competitive systems.
A 760C or 760CD system, combined with any one of the four IBM
docking solutions can easily become your primary personal computer,
providing an alternative to a desktop system unit.
Also announced today:
o Voice-over-data: The media processor (Mwave DSP) can be
enhanced
to provide concurrent voice-over-data communication via a single
phone line. o ThinkPad 755 28.8 Kbps Modem Upgrade (Mwave 2.0):
A program offered free from IBM allows selected ThinkPad 755s with

ThinkPad 760 Family Features
LCD Display: Depending on the model, these systems come with a
12.1-inch or 10.4-inch (maximum viewable area when measured
diagonally) TFT with SVGA (800 x 600) resolution. These are bright
Active Matrix displays. The TFT display provides superior viewing
capability and helps lessen the glare indoors. The 12.1-inch screen
provides 35 percent more viewing area when compared to the 10.4-inch
screen and is the largest available on this size notebook computer.
Keyboard and TrackPoint III: The new keyboard has the familiar layout of
a ThinkPad with a function key capability that allows you to quickly
access system functions, such as power management control.
The keyboard tilts to a comfortable angle for typing when the system is
opened, and there is a palm rest area. If desired, you can adjust the
keyboard to have no tilt. The keyboard lifts up allowing access to the
FDD bay, HDD bay, and battery for quick upgrades or battery changes.
The TrackPoint III is an enhanced TrackPoint(TM) II with improved non-slip
TrackPoint cap and more accurate pointing capability through improved
software. The "drag and drop" function of the click buttons is enhanced.
You can lock and hold the buttons in without having to keep pushing on
them.
Processor: Depending on the model, these systems have a Pentium
90MHz or a Pentium 120MHz processor with an internal cache and
floating-point processor providing exceptional performance.
Memory: The ThinkPad 760 system is designed to use non-parity
memory. The system comes standard with 8MB RAM, upgradeable to a
total of 40MB using new 3.3 volt non-parity memory modules. This
high-capacity memory can handle almost any application the mobile
professional may have to execute.
PCMCIA: The Type III slot can accommodate either two Type I, two
Type II, or one Type III PC card. If additional PCMCIA cards are required,
the optional ThinkPad PCMCIA cartridge can be placed in the
ThinkPad 760 family UltraBay, providing an additional Type III slot.
The ThinkPad UltraBay not only can accommodate the PCMCIA Cartridge
option, but it can also house the optional 2.88MB diskette drive
(FDD), an additional Li-Ion battery, or a second hard disk drive.
IBM PC Card Director software is preinstalled and provides support for
the latest PCMCIA standard, 2.1. This software enables many
PCMCIA cards, allowing the user to simply plug in the card.
PC Card Director with Auto Configurator and Memory Device Driver: PC
Card Director helps you get status and information on PCMCIA cards
installed in the system. In addition, on OS/2 and on Microsoft**
Windows, PC Card Director can register an application program for
PCMCIA cards and execute them automatically.
Auto Configurator and Memory Device Driver enables supported
PCMCIA cards by sensing them automatically. PCMCIA cards supported
by Auto
Configurator and Memory Device Driver are listed in the Compatibility and
Supported Products section.
Storage: The customer-installable hard drive is 720MB or 1.2GB
standard. The 1.2GB HDD is available only on the 760CD. The drive is
easily removed by lifting up the keyboard. You can have multiple
"systems" simply by installing a different hard drive. Systems can also
be shared by users who have their own hard drive but no ThinkPad
system unit. A 1.44MB FDD drive comes standard. The ThinkPad
UltraBay, also standard with the system, is an intelligent bay that
switches its pinout signals to allow the installation of an FDD,
PCMCIA cartridge, second Li-Ion battery, or hard disk drive in what
would normally be just the floppy diskette drive bay. The installation of a
second hard file requires the ThinkPad Second HDD
Adapter optional feature.
The 760CD comes with a 5.0-inch CD-ROM, 4X-speed (150/600 Kps), in
the ThinkPad UltraBay instead of the diskette drive. The FDD is shipped
with the system.
Media Processor (Mwave DSP): The Mwave MDSP2780 operates at up
to 60 million operations per second for integrating audio, games, music,
data/fax modem, and telephony into a DSP. Features and benefits
include:
o 44.1KHz MPC-2 16-bit audio with real-time compression o
Simultaneous audio play and record o Digital audio mixing with up to
eight open .WAV sources o General MIDI compatible, 32-voice
wavetable synthesizer o Sound Blaster** support o Up to 28.8 Kbps
data/fax modem o Full-featured telephone
- Answering machine with variable speed message playback and
voice compression
- Hands-free, full-duplex speakerphone
This features set can be enhanced simply by upgrading the DSP
software.
Voice-Over-Data with ThinkPad 760C/CD: The media processor
(Mwave DSP) can be enhanced with the addition of the new Mwave
Digital Simultaneous Voice/Data (DSV/D) software enhancement, which
provides concurrent voice-over-data communication via a single phone
line. This can increase productivity when used with remote
communications and conferencing applications that can be purchased
separately. This can be used with the already preinstalled Triton
CoSessions Host program so the user can talk to the HelpCenter at the
same time their system is being remotely diagnosed by a technician,
resulting in better communications and faster problem solving. The
Mwave DSV/D software enhancement can be obtained, at no charge
from IBM, from the PC Company Bulletin Board Service (PCCBBS) at
919-517-0001 (toll call). Also, customers with access capability, can
obtain it from the Internet at FTP.PC.IBM.COM and from the ThinkPad
Forum on CompuServ. Call the HelpCenter at 800-772-2227 if assistance
is required.
Audio: The audio capability on the system board (DSP) and the
integrated microphone allow voice annotation and audio capability.
The system is equipped with audio in/out jacks for stereo speakers,
headphone, or external microphone. A separate slide volume control is
located to the rear of the keyboard on the system.
Video: The ThinkPad 760C system has the VESA local bus support
with video acceleration, providing exceptional video performance. The
760CD also has enhanced video that supports video-in and video-out
(NTSC/PAL), video capture, hardware video acceleration, and scaling.
Total Image Video with MPEG-2 Half Horizontal Resolution (HHR): The
760CD system has support for MPEG-1 as well as MPEG-2 HHR video
decoding for significantly improved video performance.
Infrared (IR): The use of IR is greatly enhanced by the incorporation of
Tranxit and Mind Path Presentation F/X Pro software on all models. This
combination of Mind Path products on the 760C/CD allows the system to
be controlled remotely(2), through the use of the wireless IR capability
during presentations. It also enables the use of effects such as magnify,
spotlight, and telestrator to be added to the LCD screen during
presentations.
(2) Requires the separate purchase of the Mind Path Remote
Controller kit from Mind Path Technologies, Dallas, Texas.
The system has IR transceivers in front and back for wireless file and
data transfer and printing. The ThinkPad 760 family is designed for
compliance with the Infrared Data Association (IrDA) IR data link
specification Version 1.0. The system supports three modes of
operation:
o IBM mode (from 57.6 Kbps to 1.15 Mbps) o HP** mode (from 9600 bps
to 115 Kbps) o Sharp** mode (9600 bps)
Preinstalled software provides wireless file transfer, file
synchronization, and clip board data transfer. With the infrared feature,
data can be exchanged with the following systems by using the vendor
software packages listed below:
Systems Software
Omnibook 300** LapLink Remote Access**
HP 100LX/200LX** Connectivity Pack for the
HP 100LX**
Sharp Wizard/Zaurus** PC Interface Software,
9000 Link for PCs OZ-990(W)**
The ThinkPad 760 family is shipped with the IR Mind Path Presentation
F/X Pro software. Special effects are performed by Presentation F/X
Pro software preinstalled on the hard disk drive. It is possible to change
the selection of effects and characteristics by using the setup screen of
the Presentation F/X Pro software.
At the time of shipment, mouse function is supported for DOS,
Windows, and OS/2. Special effect by the Presentation F/X Pro is
supported for Windows. The Presentation F/X Pro upgrade to OS/2 is
presented by the Mind Path Technologies, Dallas, Texas. For more
details, call 214-233-9296 for customer support sponsored by Mind
Path Technologies.
Other Features: The system has the full complement of ports
(enhanced parallel port, SVGA, pointer-keyboard, serial). In addition, a
240-pin connector supports the four IBM docking solutions:
o Dock I -- portable docking with a slot and bay o Dock II -- desktop
docking with slots, bays, and PCMCIA slots o Port Replicator I -- cable
manager with a Type III PCMCIA slot or
Type II PCMCIA slots o Port Replicator II -- cable manager only
The 760CD has additional ports: MIDI/joystick, video-in, video-out, and an
FDD external attachment port.
An RJ11 jack is also included, because the DSP provides data/fax
modem capability with speeds up to 28.8 Kbps. The RJ11 jack is
standard.
ThinkPad 755 28.8 Kbps Modem Upgrade (Mwave 2.0)
A program is introduced to allow current ThinkPad 755s with Mwave
DSP
(excluding the ThinkPad 755C, 755CS, and 755CX models without DSP)
to upgrade to the same function as the ThinkPad 760C/CD media
processor.
This program is offered free from IBM (other charges may apply) for the
next 90 days when downloaded from the IBM BBS at 919-517-0001
(toll call), from the Internet at FTP.PC.IBM.COM, and from the
ThinkPad Forum on CompuServ. If diskettes are required, they can be
requested for a nominal shipping and handling fee from 800-690-3882.
This offer provides users with the improvements to usability, audio
support, and speakerphone quality; but most importantly, it doubles the
speed of the modem to 28.8 Kbps. The modem alone has an estimated
value of $99. The upgrade will also provide voice-over-data
communications capability, which can be used with
Triton CoSessions Host for enhanced service and support from the
HelpCenter or other conferencing/remote control applications
(purchased separately), such as Intel Proshare and Procomm Plus. The
voice-over-data function is obtained in the same manner as for the
ThinkPad 760.
PRODUCT POSITIONING
The ThinkPad 760 is positioned as one of the highest full-function
families of IBM's mobile portable systems.

Compatibility and Supported Products
Refer to the 9546 Sales Manual pages, or contact your IBM
representative, for a complete list of supported features and options and
compatible IBM and vendor software. The Sales Manual is updated
periodically.
The ThinkPad 760 family of systems is designed to be compatible with
the PS/2(R). The ThinkPad 760 family systems contain BIOS/Easy
Setup/Diagnostics in their Flash ROM and also provide a graphical user
interface to set up the system and power management features for
OS/2 and Windows users. BIOS provides the hardware instructions and
interfaces designed to support the standard features of the ThinkPad
760 family systems and to maintain compatibility with many software
programs currently operating under DOS and OS/2 on the Personal
Computer XT(TM), Personal Computer AT(R), and the PS/2 family.
Limitations
o Enabling I/R on the host system during a co-sessions host session
is not supported.
o Voice-over-data (VOD) is only functional at 14,400 bps. If VOD is
enabled, the Mwave modem is automatically set to V.32 bis (14,400
bps). Additionally, a V.42 or V.42/V.42 bis connection is
required for successful VOD. MNP or asynchronous connections will
not support VOD. If VOD fails to operate, redial until you are
able to make the required connection. You may have to make
several attempts based on the status of your phone equipment.
o Currently, the VOD program is only supported in the native
Windows, and native DOS environments. It is not supported in
OS/2 (WIN-OS/2(TM)).
o Receiving a fax from a ThinkPad 755CE/CSE/CD/CX may intermittently
fail when using the FaxWorks Voice application. This may be
corrected by recording a new outgoing greeting in the FaxWorks
application. This situation will not occur if the ThinkPad 755
(sending system) is upgraded to Mwave 2.0.
o In OS/2 Warp or Windows 95, the call center will not function
correctly when playing MPEG.
o Mwave DSP related resources are not available after those devices
are disabled when using Windows 95.
o When using MPEG, the CD-i Interactive is not supported.
o When using Windows 95, CD-i cannot be played with the CD-ROM
driver supplied with Windows 95.
o Use boot manager when booting OS/2 Warp from a secondary drive.
o When using OS/2 Warp, some CD-i (very few) cannot be played.
o In OS/2 Warp, using a MIDI application concurrently with the modem
or with digital voice applications requires that the MIDI
application be opened first. Once the modem call is completed or
the digital video application is closed, MIDI play will be
resumed. If after completion of the modem and digital video
tasks, the MIDI play resumes with lesser quality or lower volume,
it may be necessary to rewind the MIDI file or to close and reopen
the MIDI application to restore full MIDI quality.
o In OS/2 Warp, the Mwave modem must be opened by selecting the
modem icon. The OS/2 modem is not started automatically.
o When a CD-i format CD is in the CD-ROM drive the system may not
start correctly when using OS/2 Warp. A fix will be provided
under OS/2 Warp APAR PJ19669.
o When a second HDD is in the ThinkPad UltraBay, it cannot be
