The PS-6860Si replaced the earlier PS-6800 within one year. The changes are minor:

Using the PS-6155 Dock-station cradle to synchronise data was optimized.
The display of the organizer supporting 6 lines by 24 characters was 
enhanced with a greenish backlite feature called Indiglo.

A 8-bit microcomputer system based on a Toshiba microcontroller surrounded by 128k RAM, 64k ROM and two display controller. The PS-6760Si and PS-6960Si got different memory sizes of 64k Byte resp. 256k Byte.

Everything else seems to be identical. It took another year until the PocketMate 300 appeared with a better keyboard layout.
