What this manual does not contain
[edit | edit source]No schematics, board layouts or component values; the motherboard and daughterboard drawings are on PowerBook 140 Documentation. No parts list beyond the exploded view, which marks several parts "refer to parts list". The Specifications chapter describes the family as a whole, so some figures (for example the 4 MB RAM configuration and the 40/80/120 MB drive list) do not apply to every model.
