The
PS-3600 could be called "medium sized" Databank. It features more RAM
like the simple Databanks (PS-2100, PS-2400)
but less capabilities than the Personal Organizers, e.g. the PS-6200.
Compared to the similar sized PS-2400 this PS-3600 added a third display row and
expanded the memory from 2k Byte to 8k Byte RAM. The already known alarm clock
got a weekly calendar and an adjustable world time.
The PS-3600 stores about 380 names and numbers in the memory.
A similar housing was used even for a Translator, don't miss the PS-5800.
The later PS-3600+ combined the three line display of the PS-3600 with the design of the PS-2400+.
