The
PS-6600 Organiser continued the approach started with the PS-6200
Organizer and leading to products
like the PS-6700 before ending with the PocketMate
300 in the year 1999. In the United States an almost identical product was
sold as Organizer.
The PS-6600 Organiser keeps three main types of information:
 | Reminders with unlimited alarms |
| Addresses with a capacity of roughly 3000 entries |
| Notes sharing the same 64k Byte memory like the addresses |
In addition to the basic Organizer function you'll discover:
| A flexible clock with 12-hour AM/PM or 24-hour time |
| A calendar from January 1901 to December 2099. |
| A calculator with 10-digits display capacity and 52 different currency and metric conversions |
| World time of 23 cities in all 24 time zones |
| A backup battery |
| A transfer cable to connect two PS-6600 Organisers |
| An optional connection between the Organizer an a IBM-compatible PC |
The
display of the PS-6200 is very useful supporting 6 lines by 32 characters.
The direct successor of the PS-6600 could be found with the PS-6700 and the enhanced sibbling PS-6800. In 1994 the design of the PS-6600 was slightly changed.
Don't miss the TI-81 graphing calculator using almost identical hardware!
