The
PS-2100 Databank stores 125 names and numbers in a credit card sized housing.
The PS-2100 Databank features 4 useful functions:
| • The Telephone Directory stores names and telephone numbers • The Scheduler stores appointments, meeting times and reminders • A flexible clock with 12-hour AM/PM or 24-hour time showing day of week • A calculator with 10-digits display capacity |
The
display of the PS-2100 consists of one line for alphanumeric characters and one
line supporting only numbers. The PS-2400 packaged the
same specifications in a conventional housing with a "qwerty" standard
keyboard layout. The later PS-3010 combined the size
of a credit card with a full keyboard.
The
featured PS-2100 Databank was manufactured in June 1993 by Nam
Tai Electronics, Inc. in China. Don't miss the inside-view
of a disassembled and finally destroyed PS-2100.
The related IS-2100 PhoneBook combines the PS-2100 with a small booklet.
An orange edition of the PS-2100 was sold in Europe while the PS-9250 combines the PS-2100 Databank with the Day Runner® memo size refills in a small book.
The PS-2100 traces back to the TI-2100 Pocket Info introduced in 1987.
