This PS-6300 looks identical to the PS-6500 with more storage capacity. Like most other PS-6xxx products, these two products are compatible with the PS-6155 Dock cradle. The PS-6155 connects the Organizer to an IBM compatible PC and synchronizes the Organizer with Lotus Organizer 97 software.
The PS-6300 organizer stores three important types of information: reminders, addresses, and notes. Within these three areas there are many different ways to store and retrieve information. The huge memory of the PS-6300 with a size of 32k Bytes is flexible and can be divided among the three files without any restrictions. In addition to the basic Organizer function, you will discover:
• A flexible clock with 12-hour AM / PM or 24-hour time
• A calendar from January 1960 to December 2059.
• A calculator with a display capacity of 10 digits and an accuracy of 12 digits
• World time from 62 cities in all 24 time zones supporting one home city and 4 world cities
• A spare battery
The PS-6300's display supports 4 lines of 24 characters with lowercase letters.
The internal construction of the PS-6300 is typical of the entire range of TI organizers. An 8-bit microcomputer system based on a Toshiba microcontroller surrounded by 32k RAM, 32k ROM and a display controller. Note that the PS-6300 and PS-6500 printed circuit boards (PCBs) are identical, the only difference is the soldered RAM.
