Preface

Your new Texas Instruments TravelMate

3000 WinSX

Notebook Computer is a

lightweight, full-function computer with features and power exceeding many desktop
personal computers. The TravelMate 3000 WinSX is equipped with a standard 60-
megabyte (MB) internal hard disk drive, standard 4-MB random access memory (RAM),
an 80386

SX microprocessor, and factory-installed MS-DOS



(version 5.0) and

Microsoft Windows

(version 3.0).

Note:

Your TravelMate 3000 WinSX Computer's hard disk drive is already formatted

and loaded with MS-DOS 5.0, Microsoft Windows, GW-BASIC ®

, BatteryPro

power-

conservation utilities, Laptop Manager, Laptop File Manager, diagnostics, and other
useful programs. Therefore, do not format the hard disk (drive C) or you will delete
these programs. Any data you have entered into the computer will be lost forever if you
reformat the hard disk-unless you have backed up the data on floppy diskettes. However,
the aforementioned programs also are stored on the 3.5-inch floppy diskettes furnished
with your new computer so that you can restore the programs to the hard disk if

necessary. See "Restoring MS-DOS System Files" in Appendix E for instructions.

The following options, described in Chapter 6 of this manual, are available to make your
TravelMate 3000 WinSX more powerful and more useful for your particular applications.
