New MultiBay-ISA Expansion Base
In response to customer requirements for ISA expansion support, the new MultiBay-ISA
Expansion Base was created with one ISA expansion slot for such features as Token Ring
network cards, 3270 emulation and LAN-based video conferencing.
The new base also offers innovation in audio with Compaq PremierSound Audio, providing
unsurpassed audio quality in a notebook expansion base. Two high-performance speakers in bass-
reflex enclosures provide excellent frequency response and improved bass response. This new
expansion base option for the LTE 5000 provides all the functionality of the original MultiBay
Expansion base with the addition of ISA expansion and high-performance audio. The new
MultiBay-ISA Expansion Base, will coexist with the original MultiBay Expansion Base. Both
products feature:
• Two MultiBay modular device bays for sharing CD-ROM drives, hard drives or diskette
drives with the notebook, or functioning as a battery charger when a battery is inserted
• Two Type III PC Card slots
• Integrated Ethernet with RJ-45 and BNC connections
• Integrated Speakers (Compaq PremierSound only offered on MultiBay-ISA Expansion Base)
• Infrared Communications Port
• Support for the optional MPEG and TV/Video Adapter
• Monitor support cover
• MIDI/Game Port
• Notebook locking security provision
New 2.16-GB hard drive option will be available in early third quarter of 1996 for the LTE 5000,
providing increased storage capacity as an upgrade to existing LTE 5000 users. This hard drive
therefore provides the potential of an impressive 4.3 GB of notebook storage, and up to 8.6 GB
when combined with either expansion base.
New 6X-speed MultiBay CD-ROM drive is being announced to eventually replace the 4X-
MultiBay CD-ROM. This new option will be available in July.
