Compal TS30E Series
The Compal TS30E Series are Pentium-based generic/ODM laptops that were released in early 1996. The one example of these that I've seen so far had TS30EP6 as the model number. TS30E and TS30EP are other likely model numbers. The TS30EP6 listed the same FCC ID as the TS30CP5, meaning that it is likely internally identical to that laptop, which is far better documented. This would mean that the only difference between the two would be the design. The TS30E's design is identical to the earlier 486-based TS30C.
As a generic/ODM laptop, the TS30E Series was sold under a variety of names. Below is the current list of brands known to have sold them.
- MidWest Micro Elite SoundBook IIp
- Others, I'm sure
