Nothing
else like the PS-6300 with expanded storage capacity. The
PS-6500 was replaced soon with the PS-6560i before
this line was discontinued.
Main
disadvantage of the PS-6500 is the small display.
The
internal construction of the PS-6500 is typical for the whole line of TI
organizers. A 8-bit microcomputer system based on a Toshiba microcontroller
surrounded by 128k RAM, 64k ROM and a display controller.
Other products of the familiy like the PS-6700 morphed via the PS-6760Si in the PocketMate 200 series.
