The options are: thermal printer, printer cable (only needed to separate the printer from the stack of "slices"), internal modem (1200 bps max), CRT display adapter (functions same as the PC CGA adapter), mono and color displays with a bracket to hold the monitor above the system, serial/parallel adapter, auto power adapter, and battery charger. IBM called the external adapters "function modules", but most people called them "slices". It came with some special software: an application selector (open apps by F-key), Notewriter, Schedule (with reminders and alarms), Phone List (with dialer), Calculator (4 function, 1 memory with M+, M-, MR, MC). Also System Tools: Sys Profile (sets display options, power options, internal modem options) and a front-end for several DOS disk and file commands. Was an interesting machine in its day. Dick
