AccessionIndex: TCD-SCSS-T.20150213.009 Accession Date: 13-Feb-2015 Accession By: Prof.Doug Leith Object name: Apple Macintosh PowerBook 100 portable computer and Floppy Disk Unit Vintage: c.1991 Synopsis: Low-end Sony redesign from Apple schematics. Powerbook 100 S/N: S02J705J599, Floppy Disk Unit S/N: SA2028AO0581. Description: Apple introduced their PowerBook portable computers in Oct-1991. They were early laptops with a trackball rather than a trackpad, and the first to have palmrests in front of the keyboard, now a standard feature of laptops. The PowerBook 140 and 170 were the original PowerBook designs (see elsewhere in this catalog) while the low-end PowerBook 100 was the result of Apple having sent the schematics of the earlier Macintosh Portable to Sony, who miniaturized the components. Hence the PowerBook 100 design does not match those of the rest of the series, as it was actually designed after the 140 and 170 and further benefited from improvements learned during their development, even though it represented an earlier architecture. As most of the PowerBook 100 internal components were based on its predecessor, it had a relatively slow Motorola 68HC000 16MHz processor, 2MB memory (but this could be increased to 8MB using an optional expansion card), an inexpensive passive matrix display and only an external floppy disk drive. The Powerbook 140 was limited to 2MB memory, the 170 to 4MB, so for those for whom physical memory was a priority, the 100 was a useful alternative.

The Power Manager
HW 24 - Little PowerBook in Slumberland Page: 1 NOTE: This Technical Note has been retired. Please see the Technical Notes page for current documentation. CONTENTS The purpose of this Note is to describe the ramifications of resting, sleeping, and The Power Manager power-saving modes in the PowerBook family of Macintosh computers, how they may References affect your application, and the appropriate Downloadables ways to defeat them, when appropriate. It also describes some nonintuitive ramifications of working with a battery-powered computer. [Oct 01 192] The Power Manager In each PowerBook is a separate processor called the Power Manager. Its function is to monitor and control the power consumption and battery charging of the system. In doing this, it turns on and off various hardware subsystems, changes or stops the CPU's clock speed, watches the battery voltage, and, when charging, sets the bulk charge or trickle charge modes of the battery charging circuit. As you can see, the power draw of the system is a dynamically changing value, depending on which subsystems are currently in use, the speed of the processor, and whether or not charger circuit power is available. The Power Manager is designed to optimize for the maximum battery life and controls the various operating modes in response to user preferences that allow the user to override or push back in time the onset of these modes. The Many Faces of the Power Manager The PowerBook 100 (just like the original portable) has four operating modes: normal, rest, sleep, and shutdown. The PowerBook 140 has four operating modes: normal, rest (power cycling), sleep, and shutdown.

40 Lessons from 40 Years of Apple Ads
40 Lessons from 40 Years of Apple Ads Apple was founded on April fools day in 1976. It’s first office was Steve Jobs’ parents’ garage: And it’s first products were humble: Steve Jobs was obsessed with poets, and he and Woz both drew inspiration from one of the best, Bob Dylan. Any great folklorist will tell you that Apple’s origins met the primary criteria for future exaltation. They were humble, poor, and hard working. From those origins, Apple has grown to a global behemoth with over $269 billion dollars in the bank. One of the (many) things that helped Apple get to where it is today is a mastery of advertising. This article presents 40 of the best Apple ads over 40 years and draws 40 lessons from each. It spans 1977’s “Simplicity” all the way to “The Rock x Siri Dominate the Day.” 1977 — “Simplicity” (https://archive.org/details/Apple_II_-_Simplicity_is_the_ultimate_sophistication) “Apple II will change the way you think about computers.” This is an introduction to the Apple II. It displays the features of the device with a clear emphasis on personal computing. The idea of having a personal computer was very new at the time; many people didn’t think there was a use for a computer at home. The lesson: When you’re introducing something new, keep it simple. 1978 — “Bestselling” (http://www.macmothership.com/gallery/MiscAds/a2bestselling1.jpg) “Since we developed Apple II in April 1977, more people have chosen our computer than all other personal computers combined.” Apple opens the brochure with the above quote, providing social proof from buyers.

Gestalt Manager 1
CHAPTER 1 Gestalt Manager 1 This chapter describes how you can use the Gestalt Manager and other system software facilities to investigate the operating environment. You need to know about the 1 operating environment if your application takes advantage of hardware (such as a Gestalt Manager floating-point unit) or software (such as Color QuickDraw) that is not available on all Macintosh computers. You can also use the Gestalt Manager to inform the Operating System that your software is present and to find out about other software registered with the Gestalt Manager. The Gestalt Manager is available in system software versions 6.0.4 and later. The MPW software development system and some other development environments supply code that allows you to use the Gestalt Manager on earlier system software versions; check the documentation provided with your development system. In system software versions earlier than 6.0.4, you can retrieve a limited description of the operating environment with the SysEnvirons function, also described in this chapter. You need to read this chapter if you take advantage of specific hardware or software features that may not be present on all versions of the Macintosh, or if you wish to inform other software that your software is present in the operating environment. This chapter describes how the Gestalt Manager works and then explains how you can ■ determine whether the Gestalt Manager is available ■ call the Gestalt function to investigate the operating environment ■ make information about your own hardware or software available to other applications ■ retrieve a limited description of the operating environment even if the Gestalt Manager is not available About the Gestalt Manager 1 The Macintosh family of computers includes models that use a number of different processors, some accompanied by a floating-point unit (FPU) or memory management unit (MMU).

From 128K to Quadra: Model by Model
Chapter 12 From 128K to Quadra: Model by Model IN THIS CHAPTER: I What the specs mean I The specs for every Mac model ever made I Secrets of the pre-PowerPC Mac models I Just how much your Mac has devalued Yes, we’ve already been told that we’re nuts to attempt the next two chapters of this book. Since 1984, Apple has created more than 140 different Mac models — including 35 different PowerBooks and 53 different Performas! Each year, Apple piles on another dozen or so new models. By the time you finish reading this page, another Performa model probably will have been born. So, writing a couple of chapters that are supposed to describe every model is an exercise in futility. But we’re going to attempt it anyway, taking the models one by one and tracking their speeds, specs, and life cycles. This chapter will cover all the Apple Macs — both desktop and portable models — from the birth of the original Macintosh 128K to the release of the PowerBook 190, the last Mac ever made that was based on Motorola’s 68000-series processor chip. When you’re finished reading this chapter, you will be one of the few people on Earth who actually knows the difference between a Performa 550, 560, 575, 577, 578, 580, and 588. 375 376 Part II: Secrets of the Machine Chapter 13 will cover every Power Mac — or, more accurately, every PowerPC-based machine (those with four-digit model numbers) — from the first ones released in 1994 to the models released just minutes before this book was printed.
