PREFACE

About This Developer Note

This developer note describes the Macintosh PowerBook 2400c computer, a new computer based on the same architecture as the PowerBook 3400 computer but smaller and lighter. This developer note describes only the changes that make the new models different from the PowerBook 3400. For information about the PowerBook 3400, see “Supplemental Reference Documents,” later in this preface.
This developer note is intended to help hardware and software developers design products that are compatible with the Macintosh products described here. If you are not already familiar with Macintosh computers or if you would simply like additional technical information, you may wish to read the supplementary reference documents described in this preface.
This note is published only in electronic form, as an Adobe (portable document file). The file is available from two sources:
Acrobat
PDF
on the World Wide Web at
http://devworld.apple.com/dev/dnotes3.shtml
on the Reference Library Edition of the Developer CD Series, which is distributed as part of the monthly mailing to registered developers.

Contents of This Note 0

This note has only one chapter: a delta guide describing the differences between the Macintosh PowerBook 2400c computer and the PowerBook 3400 computer. Because the note is so short, it has no glossary or index.

Supplemental Reference Documents 0

For information about the PowerBook 3400 computer, developers should have the developer note for that computer. Adobe Acrobat PDF (portable document file) versions of all developer notes are available on the Developer CD and on the Internet at
