Seems to be a typo. in the Sales Manual. A 760 with
133 Mhz Pentium and L2 cache would be a 760E,
according to the IBM Mobile Systems HMM volume 4.
Maybe they did come out with one to rectify the
situation by re-labeling a 760E after a lot of
complaints. But I've never seen or heard of one.
Again, do you have one to show? Let's see it!
And it's not MY manual, I didn't write it, it's the
latest one from IBM.
