HP X-Terminals - 700/RX

700/RX

These are the direct successors to the 700/X line of X-Terminals and changed the architecture significantly. They were the first in a line of terminals to be driven by an Intel i960 RISC CPU and introduced a case which also was used on later systems. They have a (albeit very quiet) fan.

Several submodels were available, featuring different video-options:

• 16Ca: 1MB Video RAM, max. 1028×768 resolution, 8-bit color-depth
• 19Ca: 2MB Video RAM, max. 1280×1024 resolution, 8-bit color-depth
• 14Ci/16Ci/17Ci: 1MB Video RAM, max. 1028×768 resolution, 8-bit color-depth
• 19Mi: 0.2MB Video RAM, max. 1280×1024 resolution, monographics

All models have these base features in common:

• CPU: 22 MHz Intel i960CA with 1KB instruction cache
• RAM: 2MB on board, 34MB maximum; two slots take each up to 16MB 72-pin non-parity SIMMs
• I/O connectors: RS232 serial, HIL and two PS/2 for keyboard/mouse devices, parallel for printer, AUI and BNC 10Mbit Ethernet and VGA video connector
