The TI-2100 Pocket Info carries still the leading "TI-xxxx" characters. Later products got the "PS-xxxx" to indicate the "Pocket Solutions" marketing idea.
This Databank stores 55 names and numbers in a credit card sized housing.
The TI-2100 roots back to the TI-2700 Mini Data Bank introduced in the year 1987 and was followed by the PS-2100.
The
internal construction of the TI-2100 is very similar to the TI-2400
