Your computer includes the following hardware features:
An Intel

mobile microprocessor incorporating the latest processor technology.
An internal, Level 1 (L1) cache consisting of 64 kilobytes (KBs) of high-speed

98 Second Edition), Zip drive, LS-120 drive, second battery, or a
second hard-disk drive.
NOTE: Your computer was shipped with a diskette drive in the media bay. For
information on removing the diskette drive and installing a different device in the
bay, see "Using the Media Bay" in Chapter 2.
