The operating system was MS-DOS 2.3 with CP/M-86 as an option.[2] The machine included GW-BASIC, communication (Pap.Com) and graphics (Pap.Graph) software.[2] The computer came with two 5.25" disk drives and supported an optional 8087 co-processor.[1]

An expanded model, the Toshiba Pasopia 1600 (PA7030) was released in 1984.[4] The basic specifications are the same as the base model, but the CPU is an Intel 8086-2 running at 8 MHz, and graphic memory was expanded to 384 KB. The machine is smaller and the number of expansion slots was reduced to two. A mouse and JS-WORD came as standard equipment, along with a screen editor software. Several types of floppy and hard drives were available.
Pasopia 1600 TS100 / 300
Another variation was the Pasopia 1600 TS100 / 300 with a 80286 CPU running at 8 MHz and 704 KB of RAM. It came with MS-DOS 2.11, two 5.25" floppy disk drives (TS100 version) or a single 5.25" floppy disk drive and a 20 MB hard drive (TS300 version). After this, Toshiba starts the J-3100 series of personal computers.
