Not a good idea.  Nothing should pretend to be a gun.  It'll get
you shot (several people have died in the USA due to their play
guns).  Do they have product liability lawsuits in France?

Did you try john Vanderstel tip:
"I work as a beta tester for remote backup software and we
learned a trick relating to that.  To force Windows to release
it's serial ports we include the following additional lines
under the heading "386Enh" in the system.ini file in the
windows directory:
ComBoostTime=5
Com1AutoAssign=2
Com2AutoAssign=2
Com3AutoAssign=2
Com4AutoAssign=2
Com1FIFO=1
Com2FIFO=1
Com3FIFO=1
Com4FIFO=1
This stops windows from mothering you with concern over having
two programs attempting to access the same port at the same
time"

I have WinME and installed CPACK. I'm able to run App200 except
for the
File Transfer and the XLate functions in a desktop icon.
TransFile dows
not connect to the palmtop either.

I have MS-Office installed which includes a MS-DOS app icon in
the
MS-Office shortcut. I could run a DOS session from there and I
was able
to connect to the palmtop through Filer. Upon exiting the
desktop froze

It seems that WinME ties up all Com ports and releases them to

I agree; my daughter, was mugged seven years ago, so she got a can of
chemical spray . Three years ago, at London Heathrow,  police
confiscated it and wanted to know  why she should not be arrested for
having an offensive weapon. If  shaped like a gun, it would have been
picked up years earlier.
On a later London trip, having no spray, she was again mugged. She
fought. Her screams were ignored by people nearby. She got a broken
finger and damaged hand ligaments which took months to heal. She is a
musician.

Hmm  .  .  .  I had no trouble installing the Cpack on my
WinME system, and even connecting to my Palmtop via serial
line set to 19200, but when I exited, my desktop crashed so
hard that I had to turn it off in order to reboot.  This did
not happen if I did nothing serial.  It also never happens
with XFinder connected via serial cable to its DOS Xserver
program on the desktop.  I wonder what makes the difference.
BTW, XFinder with XServer is MUCH faster than the CPack, and
it's free.
Because of that I might decide to sell my CPack eventually (no
offers please, I have not decided yet).

Nathalie,
RadioShack sold a collar radio some years ago. I believe it was called a
BoneFone. Did not sell well, in the USA at least.

I'm not sure that a defensive spray that resembled a handgun is a good idea.
In the USA, pointing something at a person (like a handgun, real or fake)
that makes them think they are in grave danger, is a very serious crime. That
being said, in the USA, there are "handguns" that fire blank rounds that
expel chemical agents. They are not as effective as the aerosol projectors.

In addition to being a serious crime, it is seriously foolish. Point
something at me that looks like a handgun is justification to shoot you dead
with my real handgun. It's just not reasonable for me to make you "prove"
it's real. If it looks real to a reasonable person, I have every right to
act in self-defense at that point.

Greetings, friends!

I'm privileged to be a friendly lurker.

I have a friend who would like to manipulate algebraic expressions on his
200LX.  I'm about to investigate the various SUPER offerings for him.  He's
starting all over educationally, doing catch-up math as he goes back to
college.

Anyone have any experience with the SUPER programs?  Can you recommend one
for a fellow doing 'low-velocity' remedial math?

Reply off-list if you like.

SDG Analytic <ferrier@SDGANALYTIC.COM> asked about math programs for 200LX.

For a rather complete treatment of math programs for the LX, see
http://www.palmtopPaper.com/ptphtml/48/48c00001.htm and look at the articles
on Derive: The Mathematical Assistant and "Through the Looking Glass."
Although Derive may be hard to come by any more (It's built into some recent
TI advanced calculators.) there are similar programs still available as
shareware (mostly unsupported). The article will point to these.

Hello Fellow LXer's,

My 6meg double sped 200LX is giving me the following error message
whenever I try to add another record to my database:

MEMORY REQUIREMENT EXCEEDS APPLICATION'S INTERNAL LIMIT

I have 2,509 records and the record structure contains a NOTE field.
Every record has text in the NOTE field. The largest amount of text in
any NOTE field is probably no more than 100-200 characters. The
database file size is 942,069 bytes. I have 2.78M bytes free on my C:
drive. DBCHECK reports NO errors.

I can't find any reference to this message in the manual and a search
of the archives turned up one instance of somebody else getting the
same message but his question wasn't answered.

Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?

TIA,
 Jack                          mailto:jlarosa@bellsouth.net

I know exactly what you mean. Sorry, I don't have such a part, I'm
looking for one myself. But it should be possible to find a suitable
sized "Unterlegscheibe" (these round metal plates with a hole in it,
which you use to extend the radius of a screw head or to avoid the
surface which you drive a screw in from beeing damaged by screwing the
screw.... well enough explained??). This should work too, because this
black plastic part is only used as a counterpart for the spring.

If the tube in which the hinge mechanics are mounted is also broken you
may have problems though. Maybe ask Tom Rundel if he has screen case
parts left.

I believe the English word you're looking for is "washer".
No, I have no idea why it's called a washer :-)
In fact neither does the Oxford English Dictionary :-)

I recently posted about using the CF888 Ericsson with IR port with my
HP200LX.  Well, it worked just fine sending a few short messages from
home prior to my vacation last week.  However, when I tried to do any
serious work from the campground, I would always get disconnected after
about 4-5 minutes of work.  I tried with a PPP connection, as well as
straight dialup.

Some additional experiments I want to try are:

(1) hard-wire versus IRDA connection to phone
(2) try longer session from home network (not roaming in another PCS
    area)
(3) use another computer, say my Win98 laptop.
    (a) with IRDA
    (b) with cable

Before I delve into the scientific method and rack up some serious
phone charges, I thought I would ask the list if anyone has any
experience to share.  Maybe there is something special about 5 minutes,
related to the IRDA or roaming that I don't know.

Hi Jack & list

I'd suggest you split the DB into two and see if the error goes away on one
of the "pieces".  That way you should isolate if its a limit prob or if
there is some corruption somewhere.

Hope this helps.

Hi Folks,

Someone on the list last month mentioned a 160mb Sandisk CF was for sale
on Ebay for $180 which seemed good value. When I looked it was sold, but
I contacted the seller who had more of them.

FWIW, I bought one for $180 + $20 for a Type ll adapter + $20 shipping
to Ireland ($5.00 to US) USPS expedited and insured. The card worked
without any preparation.

I have no connection with him apart from that transaction.

His name is Kevin Marcott and he's in San Jose. E-mail address is
PLYTEK@aol.com and he has the following on offer. Note that the 160mb CF
is now $20 less than I paid for it :-((

SANDISK 64MB COMPACT FLASH TYPE I CARD   $70.00 EACH
SANDISK 160MB COMPACT FLASH TYPE II CARD $160.00 EACH
SANDISK 192MB COMPACT FLASH TYPE I CARD  $200.00 EACH
SANDISK 300MB COMPACT FLASH TYPE II CARD $350.00 EACH
LEXAR 64MB COMPACT FLASH TYPE I CARD $90.00 EACH
SANDISK 32MB SMART CARD $45.00 EACH
SANDISK 64MB SMART CARD $70.00 EACH
SANDISK 256 ATA PCMCIA TYPE II CARD $200.00 EACH

I don't know what difference there is between CF type l and ll.
Is there any drawback to using the 256 ATA type ll in the LX, $200 looks
awfully cheap?

I've noticed that more of us are buying SanDisk PCMCIA type
II and CF cards off of Ebay recently. I've found that in
some cases when these cards are being offered they are
coming from Dot.Coms that are now Dot.Gones. Watch the
prices on Ebay then contact the sellers.

For instance, two months ago I saw where someone was selling
like new SanDisk 220mb type II pc cards, no reserve. I
watched the auctions and the first few went pretty high,
then as he posted more and more of them for sale the bid
prices began to fall. When they hit $120 I contacted him. He
sold me three of these 220mb cards for $110 ea including
postage. The cards appear to have never been used and all of
them formatted and function perfectly.

hi guys

nice response to my radio and gun question ... but of not much use

i was not asking for comments on the availability or usefulness of such
inventions - i was asking for interest in production. Your initial response
should have been to request specification details.

i didn't mean neck collar, but shirt collar, and my design is unique - so
don't try to imagine mine from what you have seen before; my question
remains unanswered: how to market a technical invention.

as to Russell, Ken, Richard, Dennis, and Hobchi on the gun issue i would
like to take this off-list.  The subject is likely to turn into a flame-war
(as i have first-hand experience from another list; anyone interested in
this issue can start their internet research with "Targeting Guns" by Gary
Kleck, or ask me for a copy)

As Larry Tachna wrote, there's a limit of about 5,000 records in a
*.?DB-flavor database, and filled-in note fields count as records too.
I thought I got this number out of the 100LX/200LX Developer's Guide
distributed by Thaddeus a few years ago, but doggone if I can find in
there now.

I think this limit is not due to the file format (which appears to be
able to support 32K records) but because the 100/200LX in-ROM database
routines keep a working copy of an open database's lookup table in
RAM.  If I remember the System Manager environment right, that in-RAM
table may have to fit in a 64KB segment, maybe alongside other data
for the opening System Manager application.

Most of the hits appear to be the same seller (http://gocomputershop.com/).

If you check their website, they also have the card listed as a weekly
special at the ebay listing price of $14.99.  So that means it's better to
just order it directly from their website than to bid against anyone on
ebay.

Yes, it is true, I have a screw loose! And to make it worse, my
foot fell off!

I just noticed that my HP 200 has lost one of the little rubber
feet, and also the screw that it covered. The screw must have
loosened up and was lost when the foot fell off. I can replace
the foot with some stuff I have around the house, but does anyone
know what the thread size was on the original screw? Was it a
torx screw?

From the networking faq (http://www.hplx.net/faq.networking.html#02):

2.3. What is the difference between the EN2216-1 and the EN2216-2?

The cards themselves are identical, but the breakout boxes are different.
The EN2216-1 includes just an RJ-45 jack, while the EN2216-2 includes
both an RJ-45 jack and a coaxial cable
connector. The -2 model is therefore larger in size, weight, and probably
current usage. For the palmtop, you can't use a coaxial cable network
anyway; it draws too much current. Hence, stick with the 2216-1.

This too has been done before, I've seen them for clipping onto your shirt
collar.  Not as unique as you think it is.

As far as the gun, I would point out that many have been shot by the police
because
the toy guns looked "too" real.   If the police see a gun my belief is that
they have
to assume it real  and act accordingly.  There are some police on this list, is
that
assumption correct?

I'm not sure if it is still available but HP had a parts kit that
they sold with parts like screws, feet, etc.   Anyone know if this
kit is still sold?   Would Thaddeus have them if it is not sold
any more?

Here's a repost of a message I've sent before in response to a
similar request.  Hope it is helpful.

------- begin repost ------------------------

For some reason, connecting to the Novell LAN at work was one of the
harder things I've done.  It took me several tries, and lots of help
from others.  I never did get Rod Whitby's driver to work--I used the
set of files (by Nori?) on SUPER.  I suppose now that I got them
working I might be able to go back and get Rod's working, but quite
frankly once I got something to work, fiddling around further was
the *last* thing I wanted to do.  Anyway, here is my setup.

I have in my program directory (I chose c:\prgms\net) the following
files:

lxcic.com
net.cfg
netx.exe
op2216.exe
pd2212.com
pdipx.com

I load lxcic in my autoexec.bat file with:

c:\prgms\net\lxcic /l


Here are the contents of net.cfg and the batch file I use to load
everything.

net.cfg
netware dos requestor
first network drive = j

netup.bat
copy \prgms\lxtcp\tcp.lan \prgms\lxtcp\tcp.cfg
cd \prgms\net
op2216
pd2212 0x62 5
pdipx
netx
k:


This leaves me at a k:\login prompt and I can log on to the LAN.
Somebody else had to explain to me that the login drive was going
to be the letter *after* the first network drive designated in the
net.cfg file.  This was not at all obvious to me.

I have not gotten so far as to map a network drive.  I use CPack
to move files back and forth, and it's sufficient for me as I don't
do a lot of this.

I also had a lot of trouble getting some of the LXTCP applications
(especially LXTELNET) to run over my LAN's internet connection.
Through other helpful people  on this list (thanks Mike Kopplin!),
I learned that I had to specify a more complete tcp.cfg file.  I
have dynamic IP number assigned through my dial-up account, so that's
why the first line in my batch file exists--two different tcp.cfg
files for two different purposes.

I don't know if you're interested in the LXTCP apps, but
Here's the first portion of my tcp.cfg file after being copied
from tcp.lan just in case.

tcp.cfg
;****************************
;* General LXTCP parameters *
;****************************

my_ip=192.168.0.143
netmask=255.255.255.0
gateway=192.168.0.1
nameserver=192.168.0.1
domainslist=medinst.com
hostname="lx"


Anyway, hope this information helps.  Good luck!

Subject:      Interest for an alternative to GDBwin?
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Ed Keefe's article about GDBwin1 suggests that there might be
some interest in a similar application, considering that using the
japanese interface must be not fully intuitive for most readers of
this list.

I guess nobody here knows that my Perl GDB module also contains
a Perl/Tk script to browse DB files interactively.  Recently I
also added a save function, so that files can now be modified on
the desktop computer too.  The application is not complete yet
but it works well enough for me to use it for large edits instead
of hacking away on the tiny LX keyboard.

Perl/Tk originates from the Unix/X11 world but as it turns out,
a company called "Active State"2 also provides installable
binaries for Windows.  Perl itself can be found there (see 3)
and most of the CPAN modules are available in their PPM format
(see 4) (Perl Package Manager) which is basically only a
reference for the real binaries, located at Active State's file
servers.  Tk is there (see 5) and also a reference to the
hp200lx-db module, version 0.07.  Unfortunately, this is a rather
old version and it does not include the example scripts, but
xdb.pl6 works in browser mode.  A screen shot (100 KByte JPEG)
showing a few views from an example database can be found at7.

If there's interest I'll try to improve the software, otherwise
I'll just proceed for my own fun.

I, too, wondered about that.  In the past, signal strength at these
campgrounds was quite poor.  However, this particular place had
signal strength at or better to what I get at home!

I'll be giving this a try in the next few days, and will let folks
know if I learn anything interesting.

One immediate question I have - is there a recommended init string
people are using with these GSM phone modems?  I am just resetting
to the factory defaults with the AT&F string.

For a variety of reasons -- foremost we normally have no real source for

Hi all

From page 4-30 in the LX manual

Max records  Limited by disk space  theoretical about 5000
Max data per text field 1.5 x visible length or at least 10
Max data in a note 32K (about 30 screens)
Max choices in a category field 32 (or 255 characters ttl)
Max fields in structure 99 or fewer if large fields
Max pages in DB 4
Max subsets 16

It says nothing about a note being an extra record yet from Jacks
experience it may be he has hit the wall with his DB  ie 2509 x 2 (because
of note field) 5018 records in the DB.

Where did info come from re note being an extra record please?

Hope this helps

Hi Chris & list

One thing I can pass on is to contact your Tel company.  Ask to speak to
the DATA department and explain what has happened.  The people there are
usually VERY techy and want to solve issues like these. The people here had
me dial them (a test modem) so they could watch the connection from Taiwan.

I am in Australia and roamed to Taiwan.  I had all sorts of connection
probs from there. Tried resetting speeds, init strings etc all to no avail.
I called tech support in Australia and found out that the speed was set by
my home telephone company (9600 baud) yet the telephone company in Taiwan
wasnt there yet (Lower bandwidth as they were building towers etc)
Consequently I connected, was online for varying periods, and was
disconnected.

When my Telco reduced the speed of my data connection things improved
considerably yet lower speed meant longer time online so I didnt use it
that much.

From my understanding of data GSM and travelling a lot, this is what happens.

Call initiated
Roaming telco checks Home telco to see if you can make the call, gets all
settings so it can "handle" your call just like at home.
Makes call

BTW The data dept gave me settings for my particular modem card (Nokia)
that worked great.  ie longer time to hold carrier while cells were
changing if I was in a marginal area. Each modem has a unique "best" GSM
setting.

Russell

THE NEXT TIME YOU THINK YOU ARE HAVING A BAD DAY:

Fire authorities in California found a corpse in a burned out section of
forest while assessing the damage done by a forest fire. The deceased male
was dressed in a full wet suit, complete with scuba tanks on his back,
flippers, and facemask.

A post-mortem revealed that the person died not from burns, but from
massive internal injuries. Dental records provided a positive
identification. Investigators then set about to determine how a fully clad
diver ended up in the middle of a forest fire.

It was revealed that on the day of the fire, the person went for a diving
trip off the coast some 20 miles from the forest. The firefighters,
seeking to control the fire as quickly as possible, called in a fleet of
helicopters with very large dip buckets. Water was dipped from the ocean
and then flown to the forest fire and emptied. You guessed it. One minute
our diver was making like Flipper in the Pacific, the next he was doing
the breaststroke in a fire dip bucket 300 feet in the air. Apparently he
extinguished exactly 5'10" of the fire.

Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed. This article was taken
from the California Examiner, March 20, 1998.

STILL THINK YOU ARE HAVING A BAD DAY?

A man was working on his motorcycle on his patio and his wife was in the
kitchen. The man was racing the engine on the motorcycle when it
accidentally slipped into gear. The man, still holding onto the
handlebars, was dragged through the glass patio doors and along with the
motorcycle dumped onto the floor inside the house.

The wife, hearing the crash, ran into the dining room and found her
husband lying on the floor, cut and bleeding, the motorcycle lying next to
him, and the shattered patio door. The wife ran to the phone and summoned
the ambulance. Because they lived on a fairly large hill, the wife went
down the several flights of stairs to the street to escort the paramedics
to her husband. After the ambulance arrived and transported the man to the
hospital, the wife uprighted the motorcycle and pushed it outside. Since
gas was spilled on the floor, the wife got some paper towels, blotted up
the gasoline, and threw the towels in the toilet.

The man was treated and released to come home. Upon arriving home, he
looked at the shattered patio door and the damage done to his motorcycle.
He became despondent, went to the bathroom, sat down on the toilet and
smoked a cigarette. After finishing the cigarette, he flipped it between
his legs into the toilet bowl while seated.

The wife, who was in the kitchen, heard the loud explosion and her husband
screaming. She ran into the bathroom and found her husband lying on the
floor. His trousers had been blown away and he was suffering burns on the
buttocks, the back of his legs, and his groin. The wife again ran to the
phone to call the ambulance. The very same paramedic crew was dispatched
and the wife met them at the street. The paramedics loaded the husband on
to the stretcher and began carrying him to the street. While they were
going down the stairs to the street accompanied by the wife, one of the
paramedics asked the wife how the husband had burned himself.

She told them and the paramedics started laughing so hard, one of them
slipped and tipped the stretcher, dumping the husband out. He fell down
the remaining stairs and broke his arm.

Taken from a Florida Newspaper.

Having a bad day?

 Just remember, it could be worse.....

1. The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez oil
spill in Alaska was $80,000. At a special ceremony, two of the most
expensively saved animals were released back into the wild amid cheers and
applause from onlookers. A minute later, in full view, a killer whale ate
them both.

2. A psychology student in New York rented out her spare room to a
carpenter in order to nag him constantly and study his reactions. After
weeks of needling, he snapped and beat her with an axe leaving her
mentally retarded.

3. A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen, shaking
frantically with what looked like a wire running from his waist towards
the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current
she whacked him with a handy plank of wood by the back door, breaking his
arm in two places. Until that moment he had been happily listening to his
Walkman.

4. Two animal rights protesters were protesting at the cruelty of sending
pigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn Germany. Suddenly the pigs, all two
thousand of them, escaped through a broken fence and stampeded, trampling
the two hapless protesters to death.

And finally.......

5. Iraqi terrorist, Khay Rahnajet, didn't pay enough postage on a letter
bomb. It came back with "return to sender" stamped on it. Forgetting it
was the bomb, he opened it and was blown to bits.

There's an English version of GDBWinE available on SUPER as well as the
original Japanese version.  It works quite well on my Win98 machine and it's
free.

This one is probably the most amazing. Can anyone could ever think that a

Hal, the parts that HP use to sell in that $20 package were
quite useful and many (or most?) LXers usually end up needing
something from the kit eventually.  While the best advise is for
LXers to buy a kit from HP personally, many won't until they
need them. If Thadeus could buy a supply of the kits (before
they become unobtainable if it hasn't already happened) I'm sure
future buyers wouldn't mind a 25-??% markup to buy from you.

Cheers... Russ    (I got mine from HP when I 1st got my 200LX)

I really don't want to filter out FLUFF posts because some are
useful and partially on topic.  However this post looks to be a
straight pull from some net humor site or forwarded email from a
friend.  Please give some thought to us that DON'T want to read
non-LX humor items here.

Remember, some of us actually do use the LX for our email and
all that extra non-LX unwanted junk has to take up limited LX
disk space before I can kill it.

If in doubt... DON'T post it.

However, if that diver had a 200lx in his pocket it WOULD have
been on topic (just barely).

I agree that they'd buy them.  The question is whether Thaddeus has enough
free cash to buy a stock of slow moving inventory.

Even a 25% markup may not compensate for money that can be doing more
productive things in the bank instead of waiting on the faithful masses to
finally see the light of need (one at a time, no doubt).

Remember terrorists in that region of the world are told they will go to

Good points.  Maybe I should buy a bunch; they'd be worth $50-75
in a few years.   :-)

Seriously folks, if you don't have one of these parts kits you
should get one (or two).  Does HP still sell 'em?

I was thinking it was in the 100LX/200LX developer's guide, but I
can't get any closer to it than the chapter on database formats, where
it explains what the various record types are.  Note records are
separate from Data records, but it doesn't go so far to say that Note
records get their own entries in the lookup table.

Maybe I hallucinated it.

Or maybe it is in some notes that Andy Gryc posted somewhere or other
but which my sloppy file management prevents me turning it up right
now.

My own personal experience is that a similar database (two pages per
record, one note field that usually was filled in with something) got
slow and flakey at about the 2400-record point.

I just got a spares kit from HP a couple of weeks ago.
The part number is F1216-60998 and it cost me $18

Hello,

Although California Examiner exists and is a Philippino-oriented local
newspaper publication in LA vicinity, website SunseaDrivers.com says
the wildfire scuba diver story is an urban legend. One suspicious
point in the story was forest fire site, being 50 miles from sea.
Choppers would need almost an hour to cover that distance back and
forth, making aerial extinguish efforts practically meaningless.

And it was a day late for April's fools.

Sincerely, Tamas Feher.

From the www.accton.com website, the EN2216-1 uses 110 mA while the =
EN2216-2
(i.e. with coax) uses 200 mA. The current limit for the HP200LX being 150 =
mA,
the EN2216-2 will not work while the EN2216-1 is OK.

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Hi friends,

I have 1 (one) custom-made data cable for sale to connect the Palmtop
(works for all models - 100/200LX/1000CX) directly via the serial port
to a Siemens moble phone (S25, S35 and C35 models, if the new phones
SL45 and S40 (?) have the same port as the S25/35 models, the cable
probably works for the new ones, too).

The cable is exactly the model I describe on
http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/s25_hplx
i.e. the DCD line is hard-wired to Vcc, i.e. the cable works with Goin"
Postal (other cables don't, it seems).
The cable is about 20 cm long.

You can use the cable to connect your palmtop to the internet using
any communications software which runs on the palmtop
(the phone will look as a standard 9600bps
modem to the palmtop, connected to COM1). Remember: IrDA connections
only work with D&A Software's WWW/LX!

Since I didn't make the cable myself, but let it make, and so the
cable is made using a real printed circuit board, not the way I made
the cable using "loose wiring" on a standard circuit board, I have to
set the price a little higher than the cables I sold some time ago.
See "part 3" of my data cable page
http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/s25_hplx/#part3

But I think 60 Euro is still reasonable (shipping not included).
I accept PayPal payment and, of course, an "\berweisung" from Germany.

The first person who sends me an email requesting the cable will get
it.

Subject:      LX case instability - normal?
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hello all,

I experienced a strange thing with my 200LX. It is rather easy to
topple it when open, I mean it has a natural desire to roll backwards
even when sitting on plain tabletop surface and come to rest supported
only by the upper horizontal edge of the LCD lid and the battery
cover.

My palmtop is nothing special AFAIK, two alkalines inserted, no PCMCIA
card in slot, all rubber legs in place.

Is this normal for 200LX? This stability resembles Wasa. BTW, I know
OGO700LX had a support stick, which had to be tilted to right angle to
prevent capsize, when docked with 2110 GSM phone.

Thank in advance, Sincerely: Tamas Feher.

Feher,

You are correct. I took out my flash card and was able to
duplicate your findings.

I have used a flash card so long that I don't have a problem
with either of my two 200LXs.

I suspect that limit is for a 1 meg lx.  Or possibly a 2 meg
one.  But I'd put my money on the 1 meg model.

For those with more disk space more records might well be
practical.  I don't keep my data files on my C: drive.  They're
all on my A: drive, which in the case of the LX I still use for
phone numbers, is 10 meg.  So I might be able to have 50,000
records.  Unless some other unstated limit gets in the way.

 I ordered this just last Friday (March 30, 2001) from the Canadian HP
Customer Service Centre, by phone at 905-206-4725.

It's the "Palmtop Maintenance Kit", HP Part Number F1216-60998.

Cost is Canadian $27.00 (about US$18.00?) plus courier charges. The very
pleasant woman on the phone confirmed that it was in stock. I expect it to
arrive any day now.

I believe that the US order desk number for HP Direct is 1-800-227-8164.

Excellent. I was able to order a kit on line. The part number is
F1216-60998 as Bruce said. The web site is actually
"partsdirect.hp.com", you have to register with them first to use
the site. The cost was $18.99 US with tax, although you can buy
it for $18.00 if you don't want to pay tax ;) Shipping is
included.
Thanks to all who helped! I'll probably have some extra screws
now if anyone wants one.

My 200LX with NiMH batteries and a CF card and adapter are pretty stable.

If the screen is fully opened and the unit tilted backwards, the unit will
right itself, although I note also that it'll stay upended if the flash
card isn't in the slot.

Apparently the flash card adds a lot to the stability.

I am pretty sure the limit is not imposed by disk space or even available

come to this conclusion from. I quickly scanned the dev docs but didn't see
anything anybody know this for sure?

Mine too. I think its normal.  Mine is stable in either position
but is easy to push it to the other position.

Did enyone ever write a system macro which is an endless loop that
creates dummy records? So one could find out the limit.
Create two macros. One which fills only a number field or so, and one
which fills another GDB file with a number field AND notes.
And run the script on a 1MB model, a 2MB model and a 96MB model!
Would be interesting:
- If creation of one record takes 1 second
- if really the disk space limits the number of records
the 96MB model could take 5000*96 ~= 500,000 records, this would take
500,000 seconds which is almost six (6) days! So plug the palmtop on
AC! :-)

Believe it or not but I am very happy using my old HP95 and have recently
installed ACT! for palmtops.  What I am in need of is some form of 'User
Guide' or 'other' helpful information.  Can anyone assist or point me to a
site where such info / documents can be downloaded?

I would also like to inquire about availability and cost of PCMCIA memory
card(s) for HP95 although our lousy exchange rate will probably make the
purchase (even if second-hand) prohibitive... :-(

Many thanks in advance.

One reason, why it is a good idea to have a network card even
if you don't have any use for it now is PowerLine.

PowerLine is Internet out of the wall socket and not the
telephone line. It just started in Germany in some regions,
after the government issued a new law for legal reasons.

PowerLine requires a PowerLine modem which is connected to
the computer via a network card. A serial connection cannot
be used because PowerLine works in the range of MegaBits.

If PowerLine becomes a standard, and you want to use it on the
Palmtop, you need a network card.

Hello all,

I got a cheap 5-pin PC motherboard IR header (bare PCB and 2' wire)
for use with 200LX <--> Home PC communications. But there are some
settings in the BIOS setup of the PC, to make the IR port (Com2:
alternative) work.Namely:

Protocol: HP-SIR or ASK-IR (I guess HP-SIR is the correct)
Mode: Half-duplex or Full-duplex (?)
Use Pins: IR-RX2-TX2 or IR-RX -TX (?)

Do you know what is the correct setting for these parameters? I would
prefer not to reinvent the wheel via trial-error, if someone already
uses such IR device, like Daniel Hertrich. But his page has no info on
HP-SIR sub-settings. Also what is the max. speed you can get via
infrared, is 115kb possible?

Thanks in advance, Sincerely: Tamas Feher

Hi.   I found the following post on comp.sys.palmtops.pilot.

Hi, a few weeks ago I had a problem with my serial port where
my Palm V was
connected. The serial port chip virtually burned and MELTED
(there is a hole
on it).

I did not know whether to blame my Palm or my computer. This
is what Palm
Support Service told me:

Merri: Thank you for contacting Palm Incorporated. May I
please have your
Full Name, Telephone Number, Email address, Type of Palm unit,
and the
serial number off the back of the Palm Unit? Note: Palm VII
and VIIx users
will need to contact VII support at 407-531-4400
(www.palm.net). We do not
currently support these devices in Web Chat. We apologize for
any
inconvenience.

>Hi, my name is .Tel number 773 .157


>Ok a few weeks ago I had a strange problem. While my palm was
connected the chip that controls the serial port in my
computer burned (it
melted). I do not whether to blame my palm or computer

>is it something that previously happened to other palm users?

Merri: It has to do with electric status discharge. If the
motherboard is
not
protected for this because of the nature of our product.
Sometimes this may
occur. The way to eliminate this problem is to connect through
a USB
connector.

>so is palm fault ! I can't believe it ! Are you then taking
in charge the
cost of
new craddles or at least connectors ?

Merri: No I didn't say it was Palm's fault in fact it is NOT
Palm's fault.
Any
periphial that is constantly being moved around can cause a
static electric
shock. Unlike a printer that isn't moved around alot a cradle
is moved
around

>as far as I know my craddle does not move. Anyway, what I
want to know if
palm is paying for the replacement. It destroyed my serial
port and I would
appreciate at least a Serial->Usb connector to synch again my
palm. I
believe
it is not too much given the damage

>I mean a Serial-> Usb converter sorry, not a new complete
craddle.

Merri: No Palm is not paying for the damage on the your serial
port. It's
not
just the fact that the cradle is being moved just the action
of putting in
the
palm and taking it out can cause a static electrocal
discharge.

>I am not asking you to pay for the damage of my serial port.
I am asking
you
(Palm inc) to at least take measures to AVOID DAMAGING MY
COMPUTER
AGAIN. This is why I ask for a converter.

Merri: I really don't think there is anything that Palm can do
for you. You
can
try and call customer Service at 888-956-7256 and see if there
are any
options.

>Ok thanks.
Merri: You're Welcome.
Merri: Thank you for contacting Palm Incorporated

Then I contacted the support line. And the answer "they are
trying to fix it
with the computer industry" but they will not pay for
anything. Not even a
Serial->USB converter that may protect your computer.

Next PDA, anything but Palm.

Juan Rufilanchas.

2 engraveable plates, #00048-80067
3 case screws, #0515-2198

Why only three screws, and not two sets of four, I don't understand.
Anyway, this is well worth the money for anyone wanign to keep their 200LX

Hi all!

I have built a little thermometer that can be plugged into the
serial port of the palmtop.
If you are interested in it, you can have a look at it on my
homepage:

www.eddy.uni-duisburg.de/stephan/palmtop.htm

There you can read how the thermometer works, how to build it
and what the software does to calculate the temperature using
the "data" coming from the thermometer.
My thermometer software can freely be downloaded there, too.

Hello!

Like Daniel Hertrich allready announced I am a new member of the great
family of the 'Palmtopers'.
As you already know I'm a very good friend of him and he made it
possible to me to get to know what a great pleasure
the application of a HP 200LX means.
When Daniel asked me:'Hey do xou wanna have a Palmtop?', I only said:
'Oh, certainly, why not?!
But at that moment i had no idea what a opportunity presented itself
that day.
Today I think the 200LX even caused a certain change in my life some
way. And so today I'm very grateful to you, Daniel, for all your help in
connection with my new achievement.

I look forward to each occasion of communication with all of you.

Kind regards

Konstantin

Actually, using a network is the standard for most broadband connections
here in the U.S. Cable and DSL modems/router usually come with an ethernet
port. There are exceptions, of course. Some cable modems exist as PCI or ISA
cards and some DSL modems come with a USB port. I personally use my LX with
my DSL service and it works really well with www/lx v.2. My downloaded mail
seems to come at about 1M/minute. That's about as fast as your gonna get
while accessing remote data.

I've heard about the Powerline technology, BTW. I think it's great because
it will create even more competition between the cable phone companies.

One reason, why it is a good idea to have a network card even
if you don't have any use for it now is PowerLine.

PowerLine is Internet out of the wall socket and not the
telephone line. It just started in Germany in some regions,
after the government issued a new law for legal reasons.

PowerLine requires a PowerLine modem which is connected to
the computer via a network card. A serial connection cannot
be used because PowerLine works in the range of MegaBits.

If PowerLine becomes a standard, and you want to use it on the
Palmtop, you need a network card.

I'm new to eBay, but if I remember right, I thought, one could
not bid on the palmtop? I didn't try the initial bid on the HP,
but after my first bid I received a confirmation email through
POST/LX and later another, that someone had put a higher bid.

The second email contained a full URL to the subject I was
bidding for. I used the grab function of POST/LX (key G) and
appended the URL to HV.HOT. Then I entered HV, opened that URL
from HV.HOT and increased my bid. It worked with no problem.

Because I do all my email on the palmtop, this is a very
convenient way of bidding fast on the HP from wherever I am.

BTW: I'm informed by SMS about every new email I received.
I think these tools (Palmtop, WWW/LX, SMS) are close to perfect
for eBay stuff.

hi Larry,

in my (german) manual on page 4-34 there are listed some restrictions
and limits.
Maximum entries: abt 5000 (limited by diskspace)
in my experience there must be another limit than diskspace, because
I reached the limit several times and there was enough space free on
my flash card.

hi,

The En2216-2 works on the LX, the -2 has abt double the current draw.
It is on the current limit and you will need a AC adapter probably.

!! There are different types of En2216-1 and -2 around.
The new versions of En2216-1 and -2 do not work with the ethpcm.dos
driver. This driver is needed for netbeui connections to a Win9X
network, not for Tcpip, and Ipx connections. So check out first if
your card is working with this driver. You can test the card with
acctest.exe, it is for download on my homepage. (Links - HP-LX)
If there is an error in Acctest.exe (run it on the palmtop) the card
will not work for netbeui connections.

Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Recently I talked about the Ericsson ROK 101 007 BT module as a
candidate for internal use in the Palmtop. Now I know, that
this module still needs a software driver in order to work,
which means, it could only be used by applications which
implement a protocol stack for this module, just like it has to
be done for IrDA.

Bluetooth (=3DBT) defines several layers. The following is a list
of these layers required for BT over UART (serial port). The
order is from top to bottom:

-RFCOMM (Serial Port Emulation)
-L2CAP  (Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol)
-HCI    (Host Controller Interface)
-Link Manager
-Baseband

The BT specification requires the layers L2CAP and RFCOMM to be
implemeted in software, whereas the Link Manager and Baseband
should be implemented in firmware. HCI is the interface between
software and firmware.

The Ericsson module behaves like specified: It has up to the
HCI implemented in firmware, and the rest has to be done in
software, that is, programmed on the Palmtop. This is indeed
possible, but means, every application, which wants to take
advantage of BT, has to have code for the L2CAP and RFCOMM
layer. There is no way to write a general driver, which could
be used by other (already available) applications, because
usually, applications dealing with the serial port write
directly to the port registers, and you cannot put a piece of
code in between, like you could if interrupts were used, and
a TSR could take over the interrupt.

That means, the ideal solution for the Palmtop would be a BT
module, which has up to the RFCOMM layer implemented in
firmware. Then every application using the serial port could
immediatly talk BT without any change of the code.

If L2CAP is implemented in firmware, it is no longer flexible
and cannot setup several BT links controlled by software.
Instead it can only set up one individual link (point to point)
There is also no way to select a baud rate on the HCI level.

AFAIK, the only module currently available which has all layers
in firmware is the RS232 converter of

http://www.brainboxes.com

It is just connected to the serial port of any (dumb) device.
Probably more of these convertes will appear, but it is not
very likely, because the BT white papers only require to
implement up to HCI in firmware, and no producer wants to
violate the BT specification :-(

FWIW, I was never able to win an ebay auction without either a
T1 line or a DSL line (both from work).  My phone connection
from home was never fast enough to beat the other people
waiting down the few minutes before the close of the auction

I use the following website for all of my eBay bidding. The advantage is that I am never committed until the very end and I do not have to count down the seconds until a particular auction is over for sniping purposes.

 http://www.esnipe.com/snipeit_info.asp

There is info there on how to use it, but I will share a few points.

From this website, you drag an icon into the url field and a form will appear. (You can also download a small program as an alternative way to use this site.)

You then fill in your eBay user name, eBay pin, item number, maximum bid (proxy) and how many seconds before the auction deadline to have your bid submited.

The only restiction is that you are locked in at 5 minutes before the end of the auction.

One other thing for those of you who are new to eBay.

All eBay bids are proxy bids. This simply means that no matter what your maximum bid is, only the amount necessary to outbid the other bidders is used. If all bidders at eBay understood this, sniping would not work.

HTH,

Cliff Crittenden

I am pretty certain the gdb size (appt, phone) is not dependent on the
memory or megabyte model.  They did not change software when they upped
the memory.  Those limits depend on factors other than 1/2 meg units.

I believe you need an older 12volt card but don't recall the size limits
but suspect it might be limited to a 10 possibly 20meg card, if not
limited to SRAM cards (the ones that require batteries to maintain
memory and were pricy and small).

Thanks for the tip.  I'll look into it.

I did not know the term for this until now.  Interesting.
However, I think sniping is an attempt to get what you want at
a reasonable price.   In some auctions, if I see too many
outbids before the close of the auction, I simply quit while
the going is still good.  Just like in real auctions, I
believe some inexperienced or unscrupulous people drive prices
up unnecessarily by bidding on items they have no intention of
buying.  I have seen items jump up at the last second by
almost $100, only to see the same item relisted about a week
or so later.   Then there are people who will try to outbid
people no matter what.  For such I step aside, like the guy
that was buying every hplx on ebay for a while.  In such cases
it is not worth trying.

Hi y'all

I'm a proud owner of a new/used HP 200LX 1mb Palmtop and I must say I am
very impressed with this unit. I've owned several Windows HPC's and PPC's
and a few PalmPilots, still have a Palm IIIC. But I really like the HP 200LX
more than any of the others. It's just plain fun and batteries seem to last
a lot longer than the Windows CE things.
 I am using a 32mb Compact Flash card with an adapter for the PCMCIA slot
that seems to work fine.
 Now I am in the stages of collecting software for the LX and would like
some opinions on good usable software, shareware or other wise.
Looking for ..................
PIM's
Database programs
Spreadsheets
Communications ( tried Telix but can't edit the autoexec.bat file )
E-Mail
ect

Any advise, please respond.

thanks

Another reason is xDSL. A DSL modem also connects to the computer via
network interface. Although I have not tried to connect the palmtop to
the DSL line directly by now. At the moment I have configured my big
Linux box to connect to DSL and masquerade IP so that all computers
which connect to the Linux computer can use the DSL line indirectly.

With that setup, I could theoretically set up a SLIP connection between
the palmtop and the Linux box, and so I could connect the palmtop
indirectly to the DSL line with a serial connection.

The same should be possible for PowerLine.

Hm - I think the URL is the same you get when you search for that item,
so getting there without the sent URL shouldn't be the problem.
The initial bid itself also isn't in any way different from further
bids, I think. So the initial bid shouldn't be a problem.

WOW.

I have never tried to bid with my palmtop, but if it really works... it
would be indeed great!

But be aware that maybe ebay.de and ebay.com are slightly different,
maybe ebed.com uses ssecure connections and ebay.de doesn't? Such
difference might be the reason that ebay.com doesn't work (doesn't it
really?).

I'll try the whole process soon and will report if it also works for
me.

Do you get the SMS _reliably_ a few seconds after the email arrived? I
also get SMS notifications, but indirectly: GMX sends a notification
email to the email account of my cell phone provider (E-Plus), which
also offers internet access from the wired telephone network. And that
email causes a notification SMS to my phone. This way I get everything
for free. For a direct SMS from GMX to my phone I gad to pay.

Thanks for the tip!

That's correct. It is a big disadvantage of all windows devices that
they use so much battery.

You can even get as high as a few hundered MB using compace flash or
ATA flash cards. IBM's microdrives don't work though. They draw too
much power.

I can recommend Goin' Postal for plain email. It's free.
If you also need a newsgroups, telnet, ftp etc, LXTCP may be the right
choice, it's also free. If you need simple web browsing in addition and
prefer very convenient usage and setup, go for WWW/LX by D&A software.
But that software is commercial (available on www.dasoft.com).

For other software, begin at www.palmtop.net and browse the SUPER
software database.

I have several interesting links on my home page
www.daniel-hertrich.de, scroll down to "interesting links"!

Good luck!

The GDB structure contains a lookup table which is an index into
the GDB file an can theoretically have 32K entries for database
records.  Database records can be anything like field descriptions,
card descriptions, view point descriptions and most importantly:
data records and notes records.  Data records are just one kind
of database records and notes records are also another one.

This structure is documented quite well in this document:
  http://www.thaddeus.com/ftp/database/100gdb.zip
or you can find an extracted copy here:
  http://falbala.wu-wien.ac.at:8684/pub/english.cgi/d27802/

The GDB engine in the HP-LX seems to have an arbitrary limitation
for 5000 and a few more database records, so this results in the
documented limits.  This was copied from the FAQ:

Q14:
    What are the limits of the Phone Book? =

A:
    The Phone Book uses the same database engine as the Database
    application. Therefore, the limits for each applications are
    the same. This information is available in the User's Guide
    on page 4-30. =

    + Maximum size of a Phone Book file: Limited by the available
      disk space to hold it. =

    + Maximum number of records in a Phone Book file: 5020. =

    + Maximum number of data characters per text field: 1 =BD times
      the visible length, at least 10.  =

    + Maximum number of data characters in a Note field: 32 KB,
      which is about 30 screens of data. =

    + Maximum number of choices in a Category field: 32 choices
      or 255 total characters. =

    + Maximum number of fields per database: 99 fields. (May be
      fewer with longer fields) =

    + Maximum number of pages in a database: 4 pages (screens)
      per database. =

    + Maximum number of subsets in a database: 16. =

    + Maximum number of Category and Note fields per database:
      1 of each per database. =


Article ID: TECH20014 =


This was in the FAQ at (but the link is now broken)
 =

http://hpcc920.external.hp.com/handheld/getting_help/support/palmtops/200=
lx_faq.html

Since the Phone Book application and the other DB applications,
especially the Database and Notetaker application are very similar,
I assume that this limitation applies there as well.

> the 96MB model could take 5000*96 ~=3D 500,000 records, ...

Sorry, I do not understand this calculation.  Do you want to imply,
that the 5000 records limitation only exists per 1 MB disk space?

The size of a GDB/PDB/NDB file can be quite large, but it can't contain
more than 32K database records or otherwise the GDB structure would
break *AND* it can't contain more than 5000 records or otherwise the
GDB engine would fail.

From the point of view of a radio amateur and a short wave listener
the Power line technology seems to have a major adverse side
effect. It is jamming the frequencies and I have heard, that no HF
radio reception is possible in a certain range around the power
lines.

The DSL technology does not have this problem, (because the lines
are symmetric and dont radiate I think)

The PLC technology in my opinion is too slow for future needs and I
think it would be better not to invest in such a technology.

Siemens for example has stopped its engagement in PLC lately.

you will find any dos program that can run on a 186 will run on the lx. I am
sure people here will chime in with their favorites, I use the built in apps
for appts and phone book. you should be able to edit config.sys and
autoecex.bat with memo just copy the built in ones from the d drive over to
the c drive or just create your own on the c drive and they will be used
instead of the ones on the d drive

Probably try

and then click on HP Palmtop and then on Thermometer Info or directly

Hi Everyone,

I have some good news and some not quite so good news:  The good news -- we
have late serial numbered brand new HP 200LX's for sale. The not quite so
good news -- we are charging premium prices for them.

We have had several hundred of these units in stock for several weeks and
have sold many of them in quantity already to companies that need them. We
expect them all to be gone within a month or two if not sooner --- there are
several pending large order sales.

Since we are confident they will sell soon, we are not announcing it in our
next catalog, and haven't even put it up on our web site. We decided the
next step was to offer it to this list. If they don't all sell this month,
we'll probably put it up on our web site.

We are charging a premium because 1) we paid a lot for them and it was a big
outlay of cash 2) we believe that the demand in the market will justify this
pricing.

Some of the new machines (all the 4MB) are in the original packaging. The
other machines are new, but don't come with the box or manuals.   Below are
our prices. DS is double speed (optional). The 2MB and 4MB units come
directly from HP.  The higher memory will be original units upgraded by us,
Thaddeus Computing, www.PalmtopPaper.com.

We will warranty these units for 1 year.  $75 makes it into 2 years.

In original packaging with manuals:

2MB                     650
2MB DS          675
4MB                     700
4MB DS          750
6MB DS          800
8MB DS          850
32MB DS            1050
64MB DS            1325


Without box or manuals

2MB                     600
2MB DS          625
6MB DS          750

Welcome aboard!
A truly classic PIM for the palmtop is lotus agenda
available on SUPER very instructive for a play however the
HP200 monospeed is probably a little slow for it.  However,
I use the appt and phone apps straight out of the box
because they have stood the test of time and they utilise
the alarm.

I use MS Project, MS Word 5.5, Wordsearch, and Vertical
Reader (for e-books) on my HP200LX

You might want to check the archives as well...
Cheers
Tony.

Hi y'all

I'm a proud owner of a new/used HP 200LX 1mb Palmtop and I
must say I am
very impressed with this unit. I've owned several Windows
HPC's and PPC's
and a few PalmPilots, still have a Palm IIIC. But I really
like the HP 200LX
more than any of the others. It's just plain fun and
batteries seem to last
a lot longer than the Windows CE things.
 I am using a 32mb Compact Flash card with an adapter for
the PCMCIA slot

 Now I am in the stages of collecting software for the LX
and would like

The limit on Flash RAM cards would be 32MB, imposed by DOS 3.22. SanDisk
says (or said, see below) the following series of cards will work in the
95LX (with driver software): SDP5-X, SDPL5-X, and SDP5A-X (where X is the
card size in MB).

(I just went to the SanDisk web site to check their faq, and they have
changed their site -- I can no longer find the info on using the cards with
the LX :-(  I do believe the SDP cards are 3V or 5V, however.)

As to SRAM cards, Thaddeus has 1.5MB cards for 5/$25 :-)

I believe you need an older 12volt card but don't recall the size limits
but suspect it might be limited to a 10 possibly 20meg card, if not
limited to SRAM cards (the ones that require batteries to maintain
memory and were pricy and small).

Act! for palmtops was not y2k compliant so that's why I
ditched it.  I use the appt application to do my contact
management now.

Greetings (again!) from sunny South Africa :-)

Sorry if any duplication as I have sent the same msg to
another address

appear to be 'subscribed' here is my plea for HELP!

Believe it or not but I am very happy using my old HP95 and

I would also like to inquire about availability and cost of

Many thanks in advance.

I thought someone mentioned testing Act! and finding that
after February 28th/29th, 2000, the program was working just
fine.   Apparently no one ever found out why, even thought
Symantec did say it was not Y2K compliant.

Subject:      Text filters, how to detect a digit?
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hello.   I am trying to work with a large text file (2megs) to
make it usable in electronic form.  One thing I am planning to
do to reformat it is to remove all hard returns, and in the
resulting mess I would like to put a hard return in front of
every number (it's a kind of a database).  This will make many
formating mistakes, but I think it will be easier to fix those
mistakes than to try to format the whole file by hand.  The
question is, what program or utility can detect numbers (as
opossed to letters) in order to automatically add the hard
returns?  I don't recall seeing anything like this in the old
Garbo site, which had a rich selection of text filters.
Any suggestions?   BTW, before you suggest I write a Perl
script, aside from batch files, I cannot program my way out of
a paper bag.   :-)

Subject:      Rechargeables?
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

I have always used plain alkalines in my unmodified 200 LX without
problem.  But I just got a few of sets of rechargeable NiCads & NiMH (both
1200 & 1600 mah varieties) for other purposes and I'm wondering whether to
use them in the LX, too.

There's no question about how to use the NiCads since the manual and
internal battery software support them. But is there an advantage of using
the NiMHs, and if so how to use them?  I could:

    Use them exactly as the alkaline, taking them out & recharging when
they die.

    Recharge them in place in the  LX using the native NiCad setup

    Download something from SUPER to manage them if it exists - haven't checked

I've checked the archives of the Palmtop paper and it's not clear if there
is a consensus on what to do.

Any advice?

It seems so.
I sent an email to brainboxes already (about one week ago), but didn't
get a reply yet. :-(
Maybe you could also ask a few technical questions about their device,
if I'm not the only one they could become interested.
I recommend that you mention the international community which could be
interested in just their product. This could make them hot ;-)

I always use Lithium  batteries because in New England it gets well below 32
degrees and from what I understand Lithiums are the only solution that
will tolerate temps below 32 degrees.   (Yes they are move expensive but
I have found no alternative).

I was using FindLX to look for some info today and came across a curious
problem. I wanted to find an entry listed as 04/06/2000. FindLX came back
with the comment "No matches found for ''."

I dug around and found the file, then searched for a word string in that
file. FindLX found it, no problem. I then tried to find "3%", which also
appeared in the text, and got the same "No matches found for ''." message.
Although looking for "and 3%" worked, it couldn't find "3% of the".

I looked at the docs and the stop list and didn't see any mention of not
being able to search for numbers. Am I missing something or does searching
for just numbers not work with FindLX?

Thanks,
Don

Hi Bob & list

I've been using 1600 Nimh in my LX now for a couple of years no problems.
I recall there has been some discussion regards heat buildup in the LX so
charge with the LX open for heat disipation.  Also tried some charging
software but now dont use it as I charge regularly and it therefore made
little difference to my routine.

NB make sure backup battery is replaced often and you keep a set of fresh
alkalines on hand as NimH have a steep voltage drop at the end of the
charge.  ie a matter of minutes from first low battery warning.

The only other utility that I can think of to do this is sed, but it is so

that contains the appt, phone, database, etc, at a DOS prompt enter:

If you MOVE both config.sys and autoexec.bat to the A: or c: drive, you

Thanks.  I just bought three of these cards from www.gocomputershop.com
(two -1 and one -2), installed one of the -1s in my 200LX, downloaded
acctest.exe (with the help of a nearby notebook PC), and successfully
ran it on my 200LX with the card installed.

What I received are Accton EN2216-1-J1 "Ether-Pair PCMCIA" and Accton
EN2216-2-J1 "Ether-Duo PCMCIA" cards in retail packaging.  Each carton
contains:

(a) PCMCIA Ethernet card (the one I'm looking at now has a sticker on
top with what appears to be a part number 146113-002, and a bar-code
sticker on its underside, "814000352 EN2216-1-J1 245226-101"), in a
Tyvek envelope

(b) RJ45 dongle (RJ45 + coax dongle in the -2 box)

(c) clip-on ferrite doohickey

(d) 90mm stiffy, Driver Diskette for DOS/V PCMCIA Card Ver 1.03J,
Accton p/n 146994-008

(e) 90mm stiffy, Driver Diskette for NEC PCMCIA Card Ver 1.02J,
Accton p/n 146908-008

I gather these cards were intended for the Japanese market; certainly
the readme.txt file on (d) is full of bytes with the high bit set
(i.e. it's mostly not English, save for brand names and configuration
file keywords).  Ah, yes, there we go, release.txt on (d) states (in
English) that V1.03J is a Japanese Localization release of 04/11/96.

I've been using two sets of 1500mAH NiMH's for a couple of
years with no problems. I swap cells in the LX, put the old
ones in a charger designed for NiCads for the time that it
takes to pump in 1.4 times the rated capacity. Sometimes I
forget and leave them charging for a day or more. After two
years I have not noticed any degradation but have not
carefully checked performance either. I swap every two weeks
whether they need it or not.

powerline technology is probably a pain, because it produces HF noise
and it is said that short wave reception is heavily impaired or
nearly impossible around the powerlines.

In my opinion it has no future, data rates are too low for future
needs and I think efforts should go to establish more efficient data
lines.

It was reported that Siemens has already stopped the cooperation in
the german powerline test phase.

Actually, in an odd sort of way, that's good news too.
It's good to know that the 200LX is still valued enough to
justify top prices.  It means I'm not backing a dead horse.

You leave your LX where it gets that cold?!  I keep mine with me
and I avoid extreme cold for myself for any length of time.
Pretty easy to do in San Jose, California.   :-)

I use to use Lithiums but recently switched to inexpensive
alkalines bought in bulk from Costco.  They don't last quite as
long but they're much cheaper and die much more gradually.

I've found REXX to be a useful, if slow, language for filtering
and reformatting txt files.  It's designed for novice
programmers and isn't cryptic like most anything from a Unix

LXCIC says the one I am playing with is:

ACCTON EN2216-PCMCIA-ETHERNET EN2216 R02
ADR=0300  COR=60  FCSR=00  BASE=01FC  ID=06

I'm afraid I haven't paid close attention to the reports of success
and failure using these in the LX, and am still trawling through the
archives, so don't really know what is recommended or not.  And there
were no manuals with these cards, just the diskettes.  All I can say
(so far) is that acctest.exe from Dr. Werner Furlan's site ran
successfully with this card installed in my 200LX and connected to a
network.

One work around alternative is to load your large text file into a text
editor, and after you have removed all the hard returns, then use the
search-and-replace function to search for 1 (you will need to press space
bar before the number to distinguish it from digits that occur elsewhere in
a number string), and replace with hard-return-ascii-code followed by
1.  You just need to repeat the process 9 other times with the other number
digits to get the job done.

Hi,

There are several battery charging software available on the S.U.P.E.R site
at http://www.palmtop.net/super.html that will allow you to monitor and
control the charging process.  I am using Peniel Romanelli's CHARGE-IT!

It is OK and recommended to use and charge NiMHs in the 200LX.  They have
higher capacity and less memory effect over NiCads.  Though the 200LX has
only a setting for NiCad, that setting can be used for NiMH as well.

What AC adaptor are you using?  Please note that polarity has to be
correct: plus outside, minus inside (see diagram on bottom of 200LX).  The
HP adaptor for the 100/200LX has regulated output of 12volt at 0.75A.

The backup battery needs to be changed at most once a year, unless your
main batteries frequently run low.

I use a 416 byte BAT.COM from Jorgen Dybdahl's Charging (available at SUPER
site), which when activated, will show the state (in percentages) of your
main and backup batteries in the LX.  According to BAT.COM, the backup
battery is considered low when it reaches 92%.  Mine has remained at 99%
strength after almost a year.

There is also a way to show the main battery voltage in the F1 spot of your
Filer and other applications.  To do it, just download VOLT/LX from
http://www.dasoft.com/ ,and copy abctsr.com to your palmtop, and have a
line in your palmtop's autoexec.bat which says abctsr

It serves as a useful visual reminder, and I find that the low battery
warning kicks in when the main batteries reaches a low of 2.30 volts.

It did... http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~wq6h-tkj/machines/hp200lx.htm
seems to be explaining how to use a paint from model
(airplanes?) for the purpose. Included are instructions for
disassembling too.

It is very hard to read, but then, you still get a good sense
of the content.

Thank you for the URL.

Oops, sorry. Of course that calculation was wrong.
I started with the information, that on a 1 Meg machine you can have
5000 GDB entries, as someone posted.
But of these 1MB, only 384kB are used as disk space. So the correct
calculation would be (not caring about all the little _dat files which
eat up a little bit of the disk space):

69MB / 384kB ~= 256

so a 96 meg machine would take 256 * 5000 = 1.280.000 entries,
which would take 2 weeks to create automatically.

This was only a theoretical experiment. Don't take is too seriously.
;-)

But the automatic generation of GDB entries via system macro would
indeed show the limit on a very simple way.

When I have spare time, I'll set up such a macro and run it on one of
my backup LXs.

I used to use the NiCads and NiMHs in my 200LX but it's hard to tell
when they're about to give out.  If I used my 200LX consistently I
could periodically replace them on a fixed schedule.  But I use my
200LX very sporadically, sometimes only 5 minutes a day and
sometimes for hours a day, so it's hard to tell when to replace them.
I went back to using cheap alkalines from IKEA, the yellow ones
by Varta in the yellow box, and have had good luck with these.

By chance I found a text only eBay interface:

http://catalyst.2roam.com/www.ebay.com

 or

http://catalyst.2roam.com/www.ebay.de

It offers only the most important features, like

-search
-search for item number
-login
-my eBay
-bid

It is fast, because only a few thousand bytes are transferred
and it works with HV. Could be ideal for the HP, but HV refuses
to transmit a search string or login data with

"The resulting URL is too long for HV"

That's a pity. Probably only the URL buffer of HV had to be
extended by a few bytes and we could have the whole eBay on
the Palmtop. I wish D&A would consider this tiny improvement.
But I know, they will not :-(

I came across this text only interface by using Opera on the
desktop. If you enter www.ebay.de in Opera, it is automatically

Hi John,

in a similar situation I found that I could add several
nameserver=x.x.x.x statements in the CFG file of LXTCP.
That helped to overcome a problem at my ISP's side. They
gave me several DNS addresses, but did not admit a problem :-(

I imagine you could airbrush it in camo... Is anyone an expert in Photoshop?

I am not sure about the technical specs of BAT.COM

For the main batteries, BAT.COM rate them as low at 77%, and this
percentage agrees with the level at which the palmtop gives a low battery
warning.

The palmtop also gives a warning when the backup battery is low.  I guess
that Jorgen Dybdahl, the author of Charging (and BAT.COM), would have
ascertained that low level to be 92%.

No it stays in the house with me but in order get anywhere I have

Several months ago i reported that I found an old (probaalby 2 or 3
years old) CR2032 battery in my cellar.
And when I inserted it into the LX the voltage of that battery was
3.08V.

The battery is still in the LX, the main batteries were removed for
about 15min during a repair some weeks ago, and the bachup battery
still shows up with 3.02V in LXPRO!!

So: Buy CR2032s, store them for a few years before you use them, and
you'll get more out of them! ;-)

I haven't heard of many (any) list members with a PCMCIA damaged pin
problem.

OTOH, I swapped my flash and modems cards daily a few years back, before I
noticed that the spring-loaded door on the slot was broken (no longer
dropped back into place).  So I think at least one concern for
high-swappers will be that door.

Purely cosmetic, of course, tho I now leave my flash card in the slot all
the time, and connect to an external modem via the serial cable (so of
course, the serial pins are now waiting to break),  but that move was
motivated partly by a similar concern (as yours) about the PCMCIA pins.  I
decided that an LX with damaged serial pins was much more usuable than one
with broken PCMCIA pins, so I moved the risk accordingly.

The broken door spring is mostly a concern for those wanting to keep their
units pristine, possibly for future sales or trades.

Mine just matches the rubber-band latch and the super-glued lid crack.
Part of the charm of being an LX owner <g>.

Perhaps, but I am pretty sure most of teh variable in the program are

Then, I think you are anyway limited to 32767 entries, or 65535 if you

If I remember, the first "real world" experimentation was two/three
years ago in Great Britain.

They stopped almost immediately, because all lights pods in the streets
acted as antennas... Perhaps the germans have found an improvment.
But is it really sufficient, I don't think.

Well, I am sure the NSA will find that technology very convenient <g>.

All I could find out, FIND/LX doesn't provide search on numbers.

In those particular cases I use xgrep. Maybe you might try that too.

Even if this RS232 converter turns out to work with the
palmtop, I don't think it would be very useful, because it
needs an external power supply and is therefore not mobile.

It could only be a starting point to see if BT is possible on
the palmtop. Someone said, the converter costs about $150.
Quite expensive for a test.

My preference would be a small internal or external module
with power taken from the HP. I think, we still have to wait.

The spring on my door broke during the first year of use.  I typically
put my PCMCIA modem card in (and out) about twice a day.  The pins seem
pretty sturdy, but I did have a moment of panic one time when the card
wouldn't go all the way in.  I discovered a coin had found its way into
the slot while the 200LX was in my pocket!

Well, in my case it would be 152 other times, because if I
don't use a space after the number, the filter will simply
split all numbers into single digits.  I guess this might be
the only way though.  Thanks.

I use a -2 card also. I have used the coax also, but stopped when the
list told me that it was dangerous because of the powerusage.

Sounds great. I have not tried out Ebay. I have searched for a Rex3
backup card. But I can not find anyone shipping outside Us. I tried the
elv.de which Daniel told me about. But they have not answered my email.

Me too. I get 9 sms messages per email. I can customize this. I can
also filter what is sent to the cellphone. I have gotten a lot of spam
lately and I hate to recive them on the cellphone also.

But my filter is getting better and better.

I have also been concerned about this. I use a 110mb pcmcia card, a
24mb cf with adapter and a En2216-2 ethernetcard every day.

What I am most concerned about is the wear of the release
"button"/"spring"

I insert/eject the ethernetcard several times per day, and I have done
this for a couple of years with no problem.

But what to do when it all goes wrong?

This has been a question no one seems to have answered yet,
but I do know that even though I have not yet seen an actual
report on the failure of the pins, I HAVE seen a report on the
failure of the release mechanism.   Also I have seen reports
on the failure of the serial port and the power connections,
and of course the hinges and the screen, but never on the
pins.  Perhaps Hal or Mac would be the ones to comment on
this.

In my house I had a switching power supply for 12V halogen lamps in
the floor. The wires from the power supply to the lights acted lik
antennas as well -  when I wanted to listen to my radio I had to turn
off the lights first. I changed the power supply very quickly.

In my opinion the money should be better put into the development of
really _fast_ connections like glass fibres.  Thats the future.

Maybe there is a way to let HV use a shorter URL, for example replacing

Now I see clearer! www.2roam.com is the business behind
catalyst.2roam.com. Their intention is:

"connecting web businesses to the wireless world"

They cooperate with several web businesses like for example
eBay and make their product available for the wireless world.
In other words, they offer downsized text only access to these
businesses. Very interesting! It is different to the WAP
approach and ideal for the Palmtop, if HV could only handle
longer URLs.

Other parnters besides eBay are Best Western, Forbes, Hoover,
Tribune, Airlines...

To test compatibility, a manufacturer has to be able to obtain
the target machine. Since the 200LX has been discontinued for
about 1 1/2 years now, perhaps Sandisk their old 200LXs are
broken and they cannot obtain any more. (They probably don't

big snip

If this is not a joke it is a bit silly. Static electricity can
certainly cause chips to fail, but it does not have enough
energy to cause a chip to melt.

I suppose it is possible that a static charge caused the
serial chip, the UART,  to fail, and then this failure
caused the chip to draw so much power from the host computer
that it melted. In that case, I would say that the design of
the host computer was rather poor.

You ask if the LX is capable of causing such damage. Well, any
time you connect two computers together it is POSSIBLE that
static electricity will cause the ports on one or both of the
computers to burn out. However, most chips that interface with
the outside world are internally protected against static
discharge. It would take an unusually large static discharge to
override this protection.

Funnily enough the folks at Sandisk know Thaddeus quite well and many of

the 200LX has been discontinued for 1.5 years.

I also found it hard to believe that a static charge could melt a chip, all
the physically damaged chips I have seen were caused by a wiring mistake or
a cable break that caused a short circuit

I use a program I found some time ago called STAT that gives me
a bar graph showing the condition of the battery and one for the
backup battery.  Also one for the card battery so it must be a
fairly old program.  :)

I use it with Nicads and NIMH and I've found it to be a
reasonably good guide. But I do have to remember to use it.

It also leaves the LX in mono mode instead of CGA mode so I have
to use the mode command right after to restore CGA mode.  But
that's only a minor irritation.

I never use the LX as a battery charger.  When I find the
batteries are low in the 1st quarter of the bar graph, I put in
a fresh set and pop the old ones in a charger.

I would not advise doing that......you should still change the backup battery

each year with a fresh battery unless you have a usable backup that you just
made.   Look at the back up battery as insurance against data losss.      The

back up battery is not the place to skimp to save money.   Which would you
rather do, spend a few dollars on a backup battery or spend about 80 hours
reentering every thing into your 200lx:?

I have found a partial answer to my own question.  Word has a
command in search and replace, #, which will search for any
digit, and with the command p and the command & I can put a
hard return in front of any character I put in the Find field.
The problem I am now having is that the following combination,
p& , not only adds a hard return, but it also adds a space
between the hard return and the character.  It must be some
kind of default in Word.   Anyone has any ideas on how to
overcome this problem?

TIA

Actually I was using NiMH batteries for a awhile but
stopped because several people (maybe on Compuserve)
claimed they will freeze at 32 degrees.   Anyone know

And a broken serial port pin is much easier repairable than a broken
PCMCIA pin.

I plug in an external modem about twice a day since several years, and
didn't get a broken or even bent pin.

:-)

I highly recommend to use silicone if the latch springs are broken!

Folks,

My daughter has decided that she would like to switch to the PalmOS
platform. She has a 100lx that she has used off & on for some time. Since
last summer she has been using a Palm Pilot Pro. She finds she uses that and
is looking to upgrade to a palm iiix or Visor. So I was wondering if anyone
has a Palm iiix or visor they would like to trade for a HP 100lx. It is in
good shape. No cracks

I have a 200lx myself and a 100lx as a backup machine so I can't justify
buying it for myself.

You should be able to search for the hard return/space sequence and
replace each with only a hard return.

I have two 200LXes I use them interchangeably and have pretty much the same
software on each. I can easily switch between Memo and the DOS Solitaire game
on one but not the other. They have the same memory and system settings. Both
have a flash card installed. The 2meg unit switches without a hitch. The 1
meg unit makes me shut down the game before loading memo.

Other than the memory upgrade, is there anything I can do. Is something amiss
with the 1 meg?

So if it's 32 below zero and you go from your house to your car
how is the unit not going to freeze by the time the car warms up to
a temperature where the heat works?    Even if you go from a warm
house to a warm car, how could the unit not freeze between the
house and the car?  My understanding from past posts is that the
batteries would still freeze.

I was toying with using Pegasus for DOS but got scared off
with setting it up.  What's involved?  Is writing down
step-by-step instructions a time consuming process?  I
looked into LXTCP and all that but couldn't understand the
instructions because they didn't say things like:  you get
this program from here and there... you load this one before
that and then... hurray, you've finished!
Cheers
Tony.

I think the critical factors in this are time *and temperature, not just
temperature.

The temperature inside a car is typically hotter than the outside, since
there is no wind chill, and there is solar heating going on (during the
day). At night, the inside of the car has typically been heated up, and that
heat remains inside the car, slowly cooling to the ambient temperature in
the surrounding environment.

I have left laptops in miserable cold for extended periods (well, miserable
for me - it is all relative), and I have noted "odd" behaviour if I do not
give the electronics a chance to "warm up" before I turn them on.

This has been my experience, living in Central New Jersey.

YMMV,

Ken

Hello all,

I got a lot of virus laden e-mails from two HPLX-L list members over
the weekend. Hybris, Magistr, etc. You should pay more attention to
protect your systems, if for nothing else than because of pure
self-interest. I mean, if you are on Win9X, magistr@mm can destroy
your motherboard!

Sincerely: Tamas Feher.

BTW, there is no current AV scanner that works on LX palmtop, Solomon,
Kaspersky AVP and all other brands have long ago discontinued their
16-bit offerings. Suprisingly some companies have native AV for
PalmPilot, but that is a 32-bit platform on the very inside. I do
think it would be nice to have some kind of protection, because there
is no guarantee that old fashined DOS file viruses will never again
surface. Use of 56k modems and ethernet and GSM may make the LX
vulnerable in the future.

Thanks to all who provided feedback re my last question regarding ACT! on
the HP95LX.  As to the Y2K compatibility question, I selected a date in the
future at random (29th October 2005) using the ACT! application and compared
the DAY with the built in appointment book and VOLIA!, the same DAY :-)
Guess this does not eliminate all possible Y2K issues but at least the days
are correct!

Unfortunately I had no replies re obtaining a user guide but I have managed
to locate a DOS version 2 document at the Symantec site... Not 100% relevant
but at least it is a bit more than the built in help file which together
with the aforementioned info has enabled me to 'explore' with a bit more
certainty.

Another question re HP95LX PCMCIA expansion memory (apologies for any
apparent ignorance <grin>): It would seem I have 2 options, i) SRAM cards
and ii) Flash RAM cards

Can someone please explain the difference (or if an article exists in the
PalmPapers archive) including pro's and con's?  Many thanks in advance and
once I have the info I will hopefully be able to make my purchase (although
the limitations during past 5 + years using a 1 Mb base unit with a 128 Kb
RAM Card (HP F1002A) have not been too problematic!) of extra memory via the
several offers received since subscribing to this list.

Till the next time, KEEP SMILING:-)

Hello Tony

Pegasus can be a little difficult to set up. Basically you need to
set up a packet driver like dosppp or lsppp first then set pegasus
then set up the pop mail retriever pmpop. The documents for each are
easy to follow though, the difficult one is the packet driver- you
won't know before hand if it is compatible with your ISP so you don't
know whether any problems you have are incorrect settings or ISP
incompatibilities. The easiest is LSPPP which supports dynamic
DNS addressing, chap and has a built-in dialer. Expect to spend a
couple hours to set up
the system. WWW/LX and Post/LX are much easier to set up if you can
afford them.

in Austria the only reliable and fully functional service is
provided by the Austrian telecom. (A1 net)
This will probably not help you, because you need a A1 - Sim card
for this and if you do not live in Austria, it will not be much
worth for you.
But maybe there is a phone company in your country, that has this
service for free.

I use the paging service of GMX email provider to send SMS to my

Hi Tony,

Before you give up totally on LXTCP, you might have a look at the
instructions I've written for setting it up:

I'm not sure why everyone is assuming that Avi's company (whose
name I can't recall at the moment) won't be willing to change
this.  In many cases changing a buffer size means changing one
or two constants and recompiling.  Then a little testing.

If the url is displayed in HV a little extra formatting work
might also be required.

I'd send them an email requesting that change.  Tell them how
much larger it must be and explaining why.

I don't speak for them, of course, but most companies would
consider a change like this where it will make their product
more usable.

Hi all

Does anyone here connect to Erols or another service in the Philadelphia
area? Prefer free if not Erols.

I'm going to the states in May and want to arrange connectivity before I go.

What is the HPLX specific service that allows CCMail connection?

TIA

I don't think there's anything wrong with your machine and I
doubt that a memory upgrade would affect this.  There is
something different in your two configurations.  You need to
find it.

First I'd check in the system manager to be sure that you've
allocated the same amount of memory for system memory and disk
in both systems.

I'd also check that you allow the same amount of memory for dos
apps.

Then I'd look at how you run the solitaire program.  Is there
some difference.

I'd also try opening and closing Filer in the LX that does let
you run the game without closing memo.  If Filer has been open
it won't release it's memory.  It's possible that you've used
Filer since your last reboot on one and not on the other.  If
that turns out to be the case you can reboot to solve it.
There's also a program on Super called closefiler or clsfiler or
some such that will help you.

If none of these answers it I'd check for differences, even
small ones, elsewhere in your configuration.  Look at config.sys
and autoexec.bat and also at any batch files they call.

I think it's pretty certain that this is a configuration
problem.

SanDisk has revised their web site and eliminated the pdf file talking about
using their flash cards with the 95LX and 100/200LX. Fortunately, I
downloaded it a while ago, so I could upload it to SUPER or some other site
if there is that desire. If anyone wants it, let me know offlist.

Funnily enough the folks at Sandisk know Thaddeus quite well and many of

the 200LX has been discontinued for 1.5 years.

Is there any command you can put into the "replace by" field which
represents a backspace? You could delete the unwanted space with that
backspace.

Driving home that night I had the same thought. I had been using XGREP
earlier in the day and confused the two programs. I thought the approximate
search would still find a "pattern" in the way the numbers appeared. Guess
not.

Thanks for the clarification.

I have the exact same set up. I want to get email on the
palmtop while travelling, but also on the desktop where I need
the email for documentation and archive purposes.

I found this: When Post/LX gets email and there is not "delete
after download" it creates a file called name.old (name is the
name of the mailbox) and in it it puts some identification of
the emails that were downloaded. The next time, it skips the
emails that were already downloaded based on the list in the
"name.old" file. It says something about retrieving ids of
mail 1, mail 2, etc... Then it adds to the list the
identifications of the new emails etc. The list gets longer
and longer if you get a lot of email and you are away from a
long time. I sometimes have to watch it work its way
identifying and skipping over as many as 100 emails(!) when I
go away for 2 weeks.

After I found out all this the hard way, I also found it all
the easy way <g>: in the help screens in Post/LX <G>... There
are two spots: Old and New Email - it tells about the .OLD
file. And also search on UIDL. This is the command used to
identify the email in the server, and if your server is not
capable of doing this command you get an error message.
Indeed, if your server cannot do this command, you will get
the same emails over and over again. A friend of mine who is
an ISP told me that if your ISP does not support UIDL they
should be shut down <G>! This is the simplest things in the
world for an ISP to do and it is a major convenience for the
customer, and almost ALL the email clients now use that, so
they should turn on the feature if they haven't yet. (I think
he means by this: Call them and yell at them if they have not
turned it on yet! <g>) Good luck.

Morphy One or other small fast dos machines?The Psion will run a dos
emulator, it has a keyboard and a backlight. It also syncs with Outlook
right out of the box. It is also compatible with Word, Excel, etc...
But before you get too excited, the dos emulation speed is between that of a
regular
200LX and a Double Speed LX. I still do my dos programming on the 200LX.

Michael, you sent the following to me -- I assume you meant the list.

HP gave up on the 200LX a long time ago. For a variety of political,
historical, and economic reasons I don't think HP would consider doing
another 200LX. If they could just whack down the size of the Jornada 720,
and maybe make a mono backlit version that could live on 2AA's, I think
they'd have a winner.  The Jornada 720 is pretty nice except for its size,
cost, and dependency on a recharger.

don't you see a chance to convince HP to think about the 200LX another time.

Sorry about the HTML eariler! :-(

The Psion will run a dos emulator, it has a keyboard and a backlight. It
also syncs with Outlook right out of the box. It is also compatible with
Word, Excel, etc...
But before you get too excited, the dos emulation speed is between that of a
regular
200LX and a Double Speed LX. I still do my dos programming on the 200LX.

Hi all,

Morphy One is a Palm top PC which has some compatibility
with "PC". We pay much more effort on to debug MB, but
on the other hand, software techs working on:

BIOS: We use General Software OAK but it based on the duty
 of confidentiality, so I think this could be a problem to
 realize open hardware on the future. Actually it shows
 some bootup screen, but still have a problem arround memory
 management and key-code generating.

OS: PC-Dos or DR-Dos should be a candidate on Dos. If you want
 to use PC-UNIX, then, Linux and Free-BSD can be candidate too.
 Actually, we do development on IBM PC-110, which has CF
 interface and 486SX cpu.

PIM: Well, HP will never give us the source code of thier PIM
 System (System Manager and etc...). One of us working on to
 develop new PIM system with ruby. We have already made non-FPU
 based ruby.exe with CGA control libraly. But it is based on
 Japanese system, because it requires Japanese kanji font file.
 But he develops CGA lib and GUI frameworks and it works in fact.
 When we can solve the problem on memory manager of MB, we can
 test DOS and ruby but....
 Talking about Linux, ruby has already inplemented but not CGA lib.
 We should make CGA driver some how?


Unfortunatry, morphyplanning co. does not think about sell it to
outside of Japan, I know they are so small company. As I have still
done on the www.morphyone.org, we have a parts-list english version.
If some big company gets interested in this, distribute to the world
can be realize soon.

TX,

akinobu fukuzaki

The one I use is a service of my cellphone provide.

But there are several free services out there.

Check out http:\\www.halebop.com and http:\\www.quios.com

They may be free, not sure. Do a websearch I am sure that you can find
something.

Sorry that I can not of more help.

Tried many options, none of which worked successfully.  Residual heat
maybe, but when it is 30 below zero the residual heat is going to vanish
very quickly, escpecially if it is windy.   Will the bottle of water
freeze?
Yes.  I'm usually 3/4 of the way to work by the time the car warms up.

Anyone outisde of California, Florida or Texas have eperience with
their 200lx in winter?   No matter what I have tried I've had bad luck
in winter with the 200lx which is why I've ended up with lithium
batteries.

Generally, DR-DOS is not quite as compatible as PC-DOS or MS-DOS (that has
been my experience anyway), but I suspect it might be cheaper to purchase
for the project.

Any screen shots? :-)

The easiest way is probably to implement the Linux driver as a framebuffer
device. Linux already has support for framebuffer devices (basically, the
video memory is mapped into user memory and manipulated directly, I think,
but I'm no driver expert). Other platforms (Linux Amiga/m68k) already run
X windows at resolutions similar to CGA, using a framebuffer device. The
current Linux framebuffer driver may infact already support CGA.

The question is, do you want to run a complete X Windows system or just
the ruby GUI? a complete X Windows system is probably going to use a lot
of memory and be somewhat unuseful, especially with the resolution being
so low. Personally, I spend most of my time in console mode under Linux,
but that's just me ;-)

Current versions use a DOS extender and require a 386 or better. You might
be able to find an older version that can run on a 8086.

Yes it is.

OK. I will put it on to our web, but it will be japanese version.
I should go out right now, so tonight(JST) I can do this. It will be
12H later or more :-)

Yes! Framebuffer should be a solution. Then,

I do not need any X. But you know some of the people are developping
small X Window system for small computer.
One more things, morphy one does not have mouse or any pointing device yet.


> How much will it cost (estimate)?

Almost 80,000 yen ($800) for one product on the 1,000 shot here.
I believe this could be same on US and europe. but some parts should be
found alternatives, because of sold out or some reasons.

Anyone consider FreeDOS for the project?  Just wanted to point this

Guys,
I've carried my 200LX in my backpack for 5 years, and I'm in and out of
the heat and cold here in Chicago. I service Trading Turrets ( phones
with up to 600 lines ) and walk around the loop all day and have NEVER
had a problem with NICAD or NIMH cells. I get instant on and don't appear
to have any reduced life or charge. I have come down on the train and
walked for 1.5 miles in the coldest weather and still pulled out the 200
and used it in the terminal mode to test computer systems for hours. I
never go on a service call with out it, and the custom cables I built. I
carry a spare set of charged cells but have found those to be in need of
a recharge when I might have needed them.

my 200LX smashed its head several times on concrete floors and each time the

William, hope you don't mind me responding to you publicly.

This is a reminder to all -- we are selling 5 1.5 meg SRAM rechargeables for
$25.  We don't have specs, and hopefully if 1 or 2 don't work, it is still a
good deal for anyone interested.  (So far all we've tried work). You can't
replace the battery without destroying the card. The cards get recharged by
operating in laptop or palmtop.

$5 for shipping, one or more sets.  We also have the 200LX top part cover
for $25 each -- but you are on your own.

At this time we are posting this offer only to this list.

If interested, email wayne@thaddeus.com.

It's "pinned in".  Nothing (or no one) is likely to move with 70 or so pins
stuck in (body-piercers excluded).

The issue of painting the case has come up recently, but you're right ... a
chrome, nickel or gold-plated LX would nicely complement my rubber
truck-liner version (both fantasy).  My LX looks like my tired (but proud)
Toyota Tercel (310K miles and going strong).

<<What is the failure% on the pcmcia release slider?>>

I got this response from our tech:

"1 out of 20-25 machines.

However, I the only times I have seen it, the problem is just that the lever
popped out of place, it doesn't actually break. Lots of times, the customers
don't even ask for it to be fixed as if they don't even notice it.  We just
put it back in place for them.

What you need to keep in mind with this is that it's not a physical failure.
The machines that have this problem are ones with other physical problems
(such as they were dropped hard enough to damage the machine and jar the
lever loose OR the case is coming apart and it comes loose because of not
being held together).  We receive quite a few repairs in these two
categories."

Sram cards use the same kind of memory that is in the 95lx.  It
needs power to retain it's contents, so it uses a small battery.
It is pretty expensive per megabyte.  In fact I think sram is
the most expensive form of memory.  Normal PCs only use it in
some caching situations.

The advantages of sram cards in the 95lx are that most of them
have a write protect switch and the 95lx doesn't have good
protection for the memory in the card when it crashes.  It's
safer than on-board memory but still at risk.  That was improved
in the 100lx.  But anything on the card is perfectly safe with
the write protect switch locked.

Sram never wears out.  Sram is much faster.  It's the fastest
kind of memory, I think.  I know it used to be.  And writing to
sram uses very little power.

The drawbacks of sram are it's limited size, high price per
megabyte and it's need for power to maintain it's contents.

Flash ram is a different kind of memory that retains it's
contents without power.  Hence no battery is needed.  It's less
expensive per megabyte and larger cards can be used, since they
have internal logic to make themselves work with the limited
number of address lines in the 95lx PCMCIA slot.

The advantages of flash memory are larger size, cheaper per meg
and that no power is needed to retain it's contents.

The drawbacks of flash memory are that when the 95lx crashes,
it's contents can be lost in a crash since they don't normally
have write protect switches. (not important in the 100/200lx).
Flash memory also wears out.  It can be written to a limited
number of times.  It can always be read.  The limit is very high
and even with the older flash memory for most people the card is
likely to outlast the 95lx.  There is software that could make
it wear out much faster, such as regular use of a defragmenter,
but that's unlikely to be used.  A program that does disc sorts
probably shouldn't be used regularly with it, either.  The newer
cards have improved this considerably but they won't work in the
95lx.

Another drawback is that it takes a considerable burst of power
to write to the card.  This has caused writes to fail when the
batteries are low and that corrupts the card so that it needs to
be re-formatted.  Again that's less true with the newer cards
but it was a problem with the ones that work in the 95lx.  Also
HP used to reccomend not using Duracell batteries with flash
cards since they sometimes can't put out a the needed burst of
power and that can corrupt the card.  I'm not sure if Duracells
today are still that way.

There is also a bug in the 1 meg version of the 95lx that can
cause it to crash if you reboot when C: is fairly full.  I used
to run into that but at the time I didn't have a flash card so I
don't know if it affects them.   I know C: always got corrupted
when this happened.  It did corrupt my sram card once when I
forgot to write protect it.  But writing to a flash card is
different than writing to an sram card and I'm not sure this
means it would have corrupted a flash card.  There are reasons
to think it's less likely to corrupt a flash card.

Another consideration is that since you need a driver with a
flash card, if you lose the contents of your C: drive you can no
longer get to the flash card since you've lost the driver.  That
makes the 95lx fairly useless till you get another copy of the
driver.  On a trip that might make it worthwhile to carry a
small sram card with that driver on it.  Small used sram cards
are very cheap now.  I sold 5 128k sram cards to someone on
HPHAND 2 or 3 years ago for $20.  That was for all 5, not $20
each.

My reccomendation would be to avoid flash cards if you plan to
do any programming on the 95lx.  Or at least remove it when you
do.  If you don't do any programming with it, I think flash
cards are still a little riskier but their advantages might
outweigh the risk.

I have one of the old 10 meg flash cards that is supposed to
work with the 95lx.  I bought it years ago.  I've probably used
it a lot more than the newer ones I have since I keep it on a
200lx that I keep by my computer for tracking passwords.  I run
wear.exe on it every year and so far it's always said it hasn't
needed wear leveling.  So it's still a long way from being worn
out.

Wear.exe is a program that came with these older cards that
checks for clusters on the card that are wearing out and can
substitute other clusters for them to extend the life of the
card somewhat.

But you can't write to the card when the switch is locked, so that really
limits its use. Locking the card is OK if you are only using it to store
read-only data. For the way I use PC card storage, write-protection is not
an option.

The useable capacity of a flash card is limited to 32MB by DOS 3.22. Thus,
you cannot use Stacker on a 20MB card (for the full card) because the
capacity will be more than 32MB.

Yes, this is true.

I have not experienced this, but that is not to say it can't happen.

On my 95LX, I get a series of black lines across the screen during
reads/writes,
due to power consumption, I suspect. I have had write failures using VR when
the batteries get below 2.2V or so, but they have never corrupted the card
(a 10MB SunDisk SDP5).

True. It might be worth getting some of the 1.5MB Dutch SRAM cards from Hal
as backups.

...

...

Main advantage is a capacity of more than 2MB or 4MB, which can be _very_
useful.

One disadvantage of SRAM cards is that you should/must replace the battery
every year or so (except for the Dutch ones, which have a rechargeable
internal battery). At that time, you must copy the data off to another
storage medium, or it will be lost when you take out the old battery.

A minor point. I am running the DOS game from Filer and starting Memo from
the blue key. I get a memory error box telling me I must close sol.exe to
start Memo. I might have to resort to closefiler. I had hoped for a simpler
fix.

The only Config.sys or Autoexec.bat are on the D: drive. No changes. this is
why it is so frustrating to me.

Thanks for the help.

I have to go through the archives to get the details on your problem, but
on my palmtops, launching a DOS program from filer allocates all the available
memory to the program, so running a SysMgr application other than Filer will
always fail as there is no memory left over.

I use the "|MEMSIZE" in in profiles under &More frequently, and when I need
memo and a big dos session open, I load a big file into memo and then launch
the program (or command.com) from filer.  I load a big file because sometimes
memo doesn't allocate enough memory and it's annoying getting an out of
memory error mid-word.

Hope this helps.

Could be a slight version difference in the LX ROM's?  Drivers loaded by
the two may differ just enough if that were the case.

On both machines, exit the AppMgr entirely and run mem and compare the
numbers.

And to compare memory differences when running AppMgr, try this:
- close all apps and go to Filer
- go to d:\dos
- highlight command.com and press Enter
- now you should be at the command line, type "mem"
- compare the numbers for both machines.
- if you find differences, you might try "mem /c" to see how much memory
each component is taking up.

I don't think there is any general solution about sms<->email getaways.

The main question would be : what do you want to do exactly ?

Do you want receive sms on _your_ phone, or do you want send e-mail to
other people ? Do these persons use the same provider than you ?

Because, all is relevent to what your cellular phone provider offers,
what the others providers of your country offer, and at which price...

To give you an example, let me explain on what I am working these days...

My need : To inform a certain number of persons, of an urgent event, by
SMS.
My tools : An HP200 + GSM phones + Phone subscription at Bouygues
Telecom (on of the three French GSM providers)

Well, with that, you could say : PDU exists... ;-)

But, my constraints :=20
-  SMS messages are not cheap in France (about $0.10 per message :-( )

BUT....

Bouygues provides a free e-mail service (called "6e sense", with e-mail
notification by SMS...
By chance, they made the error to do not send only "you have mail", but
gives the sender, and the subject of the message...

Then, what do forbid you to sent your message _in_ the subject ?  ;-)
(a very short message, because you have some irrelevent text. For the=20
     "This is my message"=20
  text, You will receive :
     "Email de: jbelin@altern.org "This is my message".=20
      Consultez vos mails sur 661 ou wap 6e sens"
   Then you cant send only messages of about 80 characters... )
  =20
But this method has two constraints :
- They must create a "6e sens" e-mail account.
- The persons who want to receive my infos must be subscribers to
  Bouygues (the others GSM providers don't offer the same service).

Anyway, it works.=20
Then I have set a mailing list, where I store the 6sens e-mail address,
and I send my messages to the mailing list.
Messages sent from the HP200, of course !  ;-)

Hal,
IS it a good deal?

1.5 meg seems pretty small by today's standards of much larger
flash cards.  While $5/1.5M of storage might be good on a cost
per byte value I can't help but think 1.5M isn't big enough to
be useful as a removeable piece of storage.

What am I missing?

I would like to be notified of incoming email by sms on my
handphone.  Presently I am notified on my message pager, but it will not
work when I am overseas on holiday etc.  Whereas on a handphone, and with
free incoming sms on a 'roaming' handphone, I can still be notified.

So far, I have tested on http://www.halebop.com It works, but there is an
unpredictable time lag, sometimes up to a day later.

I am also testing http://www.myalert.com (5 SMS a day, and must set
filters).  So far not successful.  Not too optimistic about this service
for its sms functions, as when I tried to set my Time Zone, it has
GMT+08:00: Irkutsk, instead of the more common Beijing, Taipei, Hong Kong
and Singapore (where I am).

I have not tested http://www.quios.com as I think it is not a free service.

If you are able to use your HP200LX to browse to http://www.worldremind.com
(Singapore-based), you might be able to broadcast your sms messages by
building customised Contacts List.  The service is free, but have to sign
up in order to login.  You may want to test whether it works for handphones
in your respective countries.

Ken,
I am not a power user. Everything is pretty "out of the box". No autoexec.bat
or config.sys files on A: or C: either.

I am at a loss.

Hello, This is my first time attempting to post.

Several weeks ago, I accidently wacked my palmtop against a chair while it was on. And then it was off.

Now, the most recently modified files on the c: drive are no longer there. I would like to use a program like Powerquest's Lost and Found to see if the files are still recoverable. I can boot from my flashram card, and use it to store the recovered files.

Is it possible to recover the data? Is there a x186 DOS program capable of this?

Thank you,

Craig Armstrong

Well, unlike some of our more experienced posters, I am definitely unable to
correctly install the HP Connectivity Pack on my Windows Me OS.
For one, I am unable to establish a remote or LapLink connection, no matter
the baud rate chosen or the com port chosen on the PC.  I have only one
serial port on my pc and it is listed in the hardware profile as COM1, to
which all attempts to change in settings fail and default to COM1.
My other problem, CPACK somehow interfers with my ISP's mail server
connection, using Outlook Express, making it impossible to access my mail or
post until I restore my system to pre-Connectivity pack installation.
I installed CPack using the virtual DOS machine of the Windows Me.  If it
were not for the connectivity problem and the mail server problem, I could
say that the installation goes without a hitch 'cause CPack opens with my
palmtop applications on the PC.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

After several years of daily use of the serial port to connect to an external modem, I find that unless you really try to break the pins on the serial port,
by forcing the serial plug incorrectly, the wear on the serial cable is greater
than the wear on the serial port. I have gone through two serial cables on the
same HPLX and the serial port is showing less wear and tear than I am!

Bob--
I installed from within WinMe as well, in the DOS virtual machine.  Are you
installing from the Run line and not using the virtual DOS mode?
Also, my port is enabled on the palm.
I will check into your suggestion.

reinstalled cpack from the RUN feature of the START button.  Still unable to

Also, when I try to activate LapLink, dialog box pops up saying insufficient

Hi friends,

those of you interested in Bluetooth for the palmtop may remember that I
asked Brainboxes some weeks ago about their RS232 dongle. I used an
online form for that question, but I didn't get a reply yet.
Instead I got a newsletter from Brainboxes. It seems that I got
subscribed to their mailing list by using that form.

Below is a copy of that newsletter. Maybe interesting for some of you.

I asked once more, this time by email using the email address at the
bottom of the newsletter (stephen@brainboxes.com). Hopefully they will
reply this time. I'll report as soon as I get a reply.

Here is the newsletter:

Subject: Brain Boxes get second Bluetooth approval
Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2001 10:11:13 +0100
To: 200lx@gmx.de

Brain Boxes lead the way with a second Bluetooth(tm) accredited product

The Bluetooth Special Interest Group have granted approval to a second Brain
Boxes designed and manufactured product, the 'Compact Flash Bluetooth Card'.
This makes Brain Boxes one of just a handful of companies world wide to get
two PC based products Bluetooth qualified.

While there are over 2000 companies globally who are involved with the
Bluetooth Special Interest Group, Brain Boxes were only the 50th company to
actually get a product approved for use under the Bluetooth trademark, in
February this year. This ranks them alongside the likes of Ericsson,
Toshiba, Sony, Motorola and various other major blue-chip players in the
technology market.  Eamonn Walsh, Managing Director at Brain Boxes explains:
"This second product approval clearly establishes that we are one of the
most proactive and innovative companies in the Bluetooth arena."

And now, the 60 strong team at Liverpool based Brain Boxes are beginning to
see a great return on their #2m investment over the last two years. Mr Walsh
continues: "Bluetooth SIG approval is very difficult to achieve, because the
standards set out are exceptionally high. But we firmly believe that in
meeting them, and gaining this second qualification, we are ensuring that we
are at the forefront of this major wireless technological revolution."



The latest product in the Brain Boxes range to achieve the required
accreditation is the 'Compact Flash Card' that is designed for use with hand
held PC's, and will enable seamless communication between portable devices
including PDA's, laptops and other PC's. Like all Bluetooth products being
developed by Brain Boxes, the Compact Flash Card is compatible with
Microsoft's Windows operating systems.

Eamonn concludes: "At Brain Boxes, we have always been dedicated to the
design and manufacture of the very best products. This accreditation
effectively confirms that our standards are of the very highest order and we
expect that the Compact Flash Card will be a major seller once it gets
shipped to market in Q2."

Interesting this came up.  Just yesterday I was talking to
one of my co-workers who installed Win ME on a machine
at work for evaluation.  His conclusion: "It's a terrible product!"
He didn't really go into details other than to say that he couldn't get
a lot of the software he has to install on most machines to work
properly.  Can you fall back to Win 98 Second Edition?

At least for owners of 1MB or 2MB machines it might be a good backup
medium.
At least if you don't use jsut one of them, but all five or so
sequentially. Every day or every other da a backup on one of these
cards, and you can be sure you have a good backup which is not older
than 2 or 3 days, even if one of these cards fail.

Hi friends,

finally I got an answer from Brainboxes.
Below is a copy of it with my original mail attached.

I'll stay in touch with them.
Sounds if no drivers were needed for this module and if someone will
spend the money and buy one once it is available, I'll gladly try to
embed it into the LX's case and develop a power supply, if possible
directly from the main batteries of the LX.

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your email. It sounds like you have an interesting application
for Bluetooth. The product that you would need from our range is the BL-521
Bluetooth RS232 Converter - this is the product which is completely
transparent to the operating system (it behaves like an RS232 cable
connection). In its first revision it will require an external power
connection, as even standard RS232 connections cannot supply sufficient
power.
The product is intended to be available at the end of this year. Technically
it would be possible to embed the product internally (if the dimensions of
the 200LX allow), but this would obviously require development effort.

I hope this helps,
Best regards,
Stephen

Hello

on the Internet I saw that Brainboxes make a Bluetooth RS232 dongle.

This could be an interesting product for all users of the Hewlett
Packard 200LX palmtop, because this palmtop runs under DOS and thus
there don't exist any drivers necessary for all the Bluetooth PCMCIA
cards and your new Bluetooth "Compact Flash" card.

I know the connector of the dongle doesn't fit into the RS232 port of
the 200LX, but this should be a minor problem. Adapters could be used
or the connector could be modified.
The more interesting things are:

1. What about power consumption? Does the dongle need an external
power supply? If yes, what voltage, what current? If not, would the
port of the HP 200LX provide enough power for the dongle? (the port
isn't quite standard RS232, because it has only a signal voltage of
about 6V)

2. Is really no driver needed, i.e. sould it be a totally transparent
serial connection to e.g. a mobile phone?

3. What's the price range of the dongle and who sells it?

4. What is the working range of the Bluetooth radio signals?

5. Do you think that the internals of the dongle could be directly
implanted into the case of the 200LX? That would increase the usability
significantly.

This dongle could be of big interest to a still huge international
community of 200LX users, and since your dongle seems to be the only
one which is available at the moment and which COULD work, we all would
be very thankful if you took the time to answer these questions!

And please allow me to forward your reply to the HP 200LX mailing list
(about 700-1000 readers currently).

Thanks a lot

Daniel Hertrich

You can order online from their Web site, www.elv.de and see if they

Hello Dennis

I tried running a dos program from filer then starting memo with a
blue key and got the message that it had to close a program to start
memo. Filer allocates all availible memory when you start a program
from it so it looks like the problem is with the lx that allows you
to start memo when a program has been run from filer. Filer, on that
machine, isn't allocating all the meory like it should be.  Try
running dos from the option menu in filer and see how much memory
filer allocates. It should be about 30k less than what system manager
shows. If it shows less than filer has a problem. HTH

   You could try one of the various UNERASE or UNDELETE
programs from Norton Utilities, Central Point, or MS-DOS 6.
Norton DISKEDIT makes it easy to examine what remains read-
able on the disk.  It is also possible to use DEBUG to read
the data on the disk.  Nice, as DEBUG is built into the
palmtop.  Not so nice as it lends new meaning to the word
tedious when you try to recover a file.

Another option might be to try the undelete function in Filer.
It's under the File command.

Hi List,

I have just posted a free PCXViewer program on my personal website:

http://www.geocities.com/alfred1520/#pcxviewer

Quote from documentation:

PV is a bi-level PCX graphics file viewer.  It runs on the
HP200LX as well as any standard XT compatible computers.  Two
unique features make it especially useful on the HP200LX:

1.  The entire image is loaded into the RAM for fast scrolling
    and panning.
2.  The entire 640 x 200 CGA screen may be divided into up to
    8 horizontal stripes for displaying a thin stripes of an
    image wider than the horizontal screen resolution of 640
    pixels.  This allows a thin but complete horizontal stripe
    of an image up to 5120 pixels wide to be visible at once.
    This is particularly useful for reading the text of a
    faxed document whose paragraph that is as wide as the page.

Enjoy.

Best Regards,
Alfred

That's true but the hardware of the 95lx further limits the
memory on a PCMCIA card to 4 meg.  (It might even be 2 meg.  I'm
not sure now)  It doesn't supply enough address lines to the
PCMCIA slot for more than that.  Flash cards have internal logic
that fools the 95lx somehow.  I used to know how it was done but
I can't remember now.

As I remember it, the 95lx was designed before PCMCIA flash
cards came into being and the largest sram cards were 4 meg, if
I'm not mistaken.

I'm guessing that this can happen.  I know that the sram cards
can be clobbered during a crash if they aren't write protected.
But I never actually used a flash card till I got a 100lx.

This also hasn't happened to me either, but there were a number
of reports of this in HPHAND and HP finally issued their

It's not quite that bad.  You can remove the sram battery while
it's in the 95lx and the card will be maintained by the 95lx as
long as it remains on.  It only takes a minute to change the
battery.  I always get a little nervous doing this and a couple
of times I got distracted and let the 95lx time out and turn
itself off and the card did get clobbered.

It sounds like you've covered all the bases.  But I still
suspect a configuration difference somewhere.

I have both 1 meg and 2 meg 200lx's and I keep the configuration
on a flash card on both.  If I swap the flash card and reboot
I've also swapped configurations.

I do a lot of compiling and in the days when I used Sysmgr I had
to manage my memory fairly carefully.  Mostly because of the
linker.  So I often had memory problems.  But when I'd swap
configurations the memory problems, if there were any at the
time, always went along with the configuration.

Something else just occurred to me.  I wonder if it might be a
rom difference?  If one has a later rom revision that uses a few
more bytes of ram or a few less bytes that could cause it.  But
if I remember right, they stabilized the rom revisions very
early in the life of the 200lx.

Or, it could be a hardware problem or the difference from 1 meg
to 2 meg, as you suggested.  I still will be surprised if that
turns out to be the case.  But then, I've been surprised before.
:)

I have a couple of 95lxs and I still use 2 meg sram cards with
them.  It's pretty limiting but I learned to live with it when
that was all new.  I use them for assembly programming only, but
they have everything I need for that.  I don't think either card
is much more than half full.

My first 95lx was a 512k model and I bought a 512k sram card for
it.  I think that card cost close to $500 at the time.  I used
that configuration for about 2 years.  When prices came down and
I got the first 2 meg card, I was in heaven.

You can use Norton utilities.  You need an older version.  I
think version 4 or 5.  I have nu on my 200lx but I can't
remember which version it is.

You might try their Disk Doctor program but I personally would
use nu and recover the files manually if you know how.  There is
a much greater chance of success.  And a lot more work.  :)

You're right about doing this from your flash card.  Don't put
anything on c: until you've recovered everything from it you
can.  Chances are if you do you'll be overwriting something you
want to recover.

If you know how the directory and the fat table work and you
want to do this manually, send me a private email to
barryATfbtcDOTnet.  You know what to do with the upper case
letters.  I'll send nu in a reply.

But if you aren't familiar with the way the disk system works
I'd try something else instead.  Manual recovery is tedious and
you really need to understand the fat table.

I would like to use a program like Powerquest's Lost and Found to see if
the files are still recoverable. I can boot from my flashram card, and use
it to store the recovered files.

I've used Mace utilities for this.  DOS 3.x plus compatible.

Russell

PS  Mace and Norton competed in the recovery area for a while.  I have an
original of Mace 4.10.

I would also point out that unless you have extremely large PIM
databases, a 1.5M card should be plenty to serve as backup for
configuration files (e.g., 2x speed drivers) and PIM data.

More info:

Energizer lithium cells are rated for operating temperatures from -40C to
+60C. The service time is shorter at colder temperatures, of course.  A
100ma continuous drain at room temperature (21C) gives about 1000 hours,
while it gives only 300-400 hours at -40C (-40F).

You've received a lot of good suggestions but my question is - did the
hp reinitialize itself during this process?  If so, the data would be
gone.  And do you have a memory enhanced hp?  If so, are you sure the
drivers show the proper portion of the internal memory?

It's logical because in every battery chemical reactions are
responsible for the power and every chemical reaction gets slower the
nearer you get to the absolute zero temperature (0K).

I think Lithium batteries don't suffer from low temperatures as much as
other batteries because Lithium is a metal which even begins to burn in
normal room temperatures, so it is still quite active in low
temperatures.

That's what is left from the chemistry lessons in school, several years
ago ;-)

Seems like the list server (or my email system) was acting up a bit today.
The last of my 3 posts (stamped 3:19 PM) on rechargeables was actually the
first sent, sometime before 12:30. The second was the one below (stamped
12:34, still a bit late), and the third sent was a second copy of the first,
which ended up with a 3:17 time stamp. Sorry for the extra bandwidth.

More info:

Energizer lithium cells are rated for operating temperatures from -40C to
+60C. The service time is shorter at colder temperatures, of course.  A
100ma continuous drain at room temperature (21C) gives about 1000 hours,
while it gives only 300-400 hours at -40C (-40F).

I have not looked into it in detail, but you can set it up to send you

I have a quios thingy on my website. Whenever somebody writes something

When are they planning to release it? Should we go for the first batch
or wait for the second version which usually has less bugs?

I will probably go for the Nokia 6310 BT cellphone when it is released
probably christmas 2001. It "only" supports three gprs timeslots in
comparising to the Ericsson R520 which supports four.

(Ericssons R520 are withdrawn from the market now because of some
powershortage problem + the gprs did not function correct..)

I prefer NiMH as you can recharge them any or all the time and there
doesn't appear to be any memory effect like old Nicads. But for long
storage Alkalines are better as NiMH loose there charge more quickly
then Nicads when left on the shelf or in the LX. I have to recharge the
spare set I carry so they are not dead when I need them most. Actually I
bought the IKEA AA's to carry as spares last week.

Francois,
It was my understanding that the setting of DOS memory under system setup
limited this....is this not true? I will try the large file thing and see if
it works.

John, et al,
OK, why is the DOS memory under Setup user selectable if filer allocates all
memory to DOS. Would it make a difference if I ran the program after getting
a DOS prompt from Filer? In theory, anyway?

How about if I opened several internal apps before using filer to run
Solitaire? Or even just Memo? Once Memo was closed, would the already running
DOS program be given all of the memory that Memo had been using?

I hope I don't appear anal. I am just puzzled to no end.

Thanks
Dennis

The DOS Memory setting under Setup affects the amount of memory the
Application Manager gives the DOS Shell profile, and if no DOS shell
is open yet, the <ctr><123> hotkey.

DOS programs launched from Filer get all available memory left allocated
to the shell.  If you try to launch anything else, you should get a
"Not Enough Memory... Close Something" message.

On my 4mb 200lx, apllication manager reports 403k free.
If I run command.com via filer without closing apllication manager,
it reports 0k free.  if I try to run memo, out of memory.  And since app
manager uses 17k, and memo wants more than that to start, I'd have to close
the dos session. running d:\dos\mem.com reveals 373760 bytes free.

If I open memo & appman before starting command.com via filer, d:\dos\mem.com
shows 343920 bytes free.  I can switch between dos, filer, memo, appman freely.
if i try to run anything else, I need to close some sessions.

memo appears to need 29k free to start with an empty file and have some
buffer space.

Setup has 300k allocated to DOS memory, If I start dos from appman or via
<ctrl><123>, i have 304288 bytes free.


As an aside, launching a program directly from filer gives it more memory
than launching command.com from filer and running it from the prompt, if
it's not a batch file:
        d:\dos\mem.com run directly from filer:         393648 bytes free
        d:\dos\mem.com via command.com from filer:      373760 bytes free
both with nothing else open but filer.

This behavior has been consistent between 5 200lx and 2 100lx i've used
over the years.

Once a DOS program is running, the amount of memory available to it is
static.  So if you close memo after DOS is run, the memory goes back to the
free pool.  If you opened 5 internal apps, then Solitaire, then closed all
the apps, you should have the 5 apps memory availble to start other
internal apps.  If you run Solitaire from filer, and nothing else is open,
all you ram should be locked to dos until you close it.

That by itself is a good reason to setup frequently used DOS programs in
appman and run them from there instead of filer.

Remember there are a number of ways of getting to dos or running dos
programs.  The setup affects only if you shell to dos from filer as
opposed to pointing to a program and launching it directly from the
highlight.  It's been so long but is it Ctrl-123?  I reassigned the
Quicken key to launch dos years ago! (G)

Hello all,

Is there absolutely no way to login to Windows NT/2000 domain from any
DOS client running on the 200LX with Accton/Silicom ethernet card? I
know M$ MS-DOS Client 3.0 is not good, cause on 8086 it can run w/
basic redirector only, thus no domain support.

Did Jorgen finally give up trying? Did he get to verify that utils
extracted from old OS/2 v1.x and 2.x are of no help? It is a must to
give up networking if you face an NT domain scenario?

Thanks in advance, Sincerely: Tamas Feher.

I'd always heard that, too, so I never used NIMH in the LX.
They get used intermittently and sit on the shelf a lot since I
retired.

But I did get a bunch of NIMH batteries for my camera.  It came
with Kodak NIMH and I bought spares from
www.thomasdistributing.com.  I bought Nexcells because they're
considerably cheaper than NIMH and had higher mAh rating.

I've found that I also use the camera intermittently but the
batteries in it, and the spares for it, seem to stay charged on
the shelf longer than my Radio Shack HiCap nicads do.  So I read
up a little on their site and it seems that that's a feature of
the newer technology NIHM batteries.

Yesterday I ordered 16 more Nexcell NIMH 1600 mAh batteries at
$2.35 each.  They also have 1700 mAh batteries now.  I forget
whether that's Kodak or Maha.  But they cost a little more and
I've had good results with Nexcell so I decided to stay with
them.

By the way, I've been buying stuff from Thomas Distributing for
a while and I've always done it on their website and the stuff
always arrives just when it's supposed to.  They've never given
me any reason to interact with them in any other way so I have
no idea how helpful or friendly they might be, or how well they
deal with mistakes.  It's starting to worry me.  :)

I had forgotten about this.  There are a number of ways to get
to Dos and I think the memory setting in setup is what is used
if you hit ctrl-123 or if you run it from an icon, but that if
you run it from the filer it does give it all available memory.

I don't actually remember that that is the correct combination
but someone said it was and I do remember now that that setting
doesn't apply to all situations.  Another exception can be if
you run something from an icon and specify the amount of memory
to give it.

Something else just occurred to me.  If you're running the same
Dos program on both computers, are both configured the same way?
Is there a configuration file that lets you select options where
you've specified different options for the two games?

Do the games track scores?  Could one have more scores to
remember and need more memory?

Do the games have a level like Sokoban?  Could you be playing a
larger level on one than on the other?

Are you using the same version of the game on both computers?

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hello all,

I wonder why the LX serial port was not implemeted in a way that its
mode of operation could be software controlled. I mean straight or
x-cross (LapLink) mode. It would have been easy to add the
minimalistic circuitry to control swap of each of the 3 pair of lines
and augment serctl with cmdline switch /s and /x to activate normal or
laplink mode.

Then you could forget about carrying nullmodem adapter, gender
changers and counting rs-232 pins, etc. It is really a big drawback
now; not that I know of any device with SW-controlled pinout serial
port, but just would be nice to have. Could it be implemented
commercially by T2T? I assume port soldering must be cut and new
wires, or flexible plastic foil PCB should be installed. Would it fit?

Tamas:

As a designer of embedded circuits, many of which use serial interfaces,
we have done precisely this type of thing before.  But usually the
circuitry which permits such flexibility occupies significanly more
room than the serial interface driver/receivers themselves.  Usually
you have to switch over the controls with relays, although there are
other methods.  One type of serial interface chip we've seen allows
selection between DTE and DCE internally with control commands.  Alas,
me thinks we have to live with what the designers of the palmtop did.

BTW, I just seen that GP has released 1800 mAh NimH.  :-)

About $30 the set of 4, and less that $1 more expensive than the
1700 mAh GP set sold at the same store (Surcouf, Paris, France) <g>.

End of this year.
I think it depends on if they will release the second version soon
after the first or if it will take some more years ;-)
I would ask them what the advantages of the second verion are and when
it will be released. Then we can decide which one to try.

I don't know exactly, Al should know it. But I wanted the guys at
Brainboxes to be impressed by that number.

But IIRC the real number WAS in that range, at least one or two years
ago. Probably we are a few less now.

differently long ago to make the two computers behave differently.

I think I will try to install it with an icon. Have not done something like

Hi,
    I've just got my HP OmniGo 700LX off the power supply and, being the
clumsy devil I am, I dropped it. Now I've got a problem. The clamshell
design has saved everything - except the latch. Now the palmtop case won't
stay shut. Anyone mind telling me how to get the latch out? How can I repair
it?
I pushed a piece of photographic film (developed) down the side and that
restored the functionality of the latch, but I need a more permanent (i.e.
invisible) fix.

Thanks in advance.

I had a similar arracngement for the past 2 years as well in
one particular type of critical mailing. The server forwards
the email to an account I access with Post/LX and another
account I access on the desktop, as a backup for Post/LX.

During the past 2 years, my desktop crashed about once a week
(it runs Windhose) and I lost 5 emails from the desktop using
Eudora Mail.

Post/LX crashed 4 times, user errors. Total loss 0 messagess.

My attitude is now the opposite to what it was when I set up
this method: I now rely on Post/LX to give me the
authoritative version, not the desktop.

This is my experience, others may have different experiences.

A friend who travels even more than I do has his email going
to the palmtop only. He then handles what is needed from the
palmtop. What he must have back at the office for archiving
and documentation purposes, he simply sends from the palmtop
to an email address that is accessed by an office desktop
automatically, but not from the Palmtop. When he returns, he
compares what is in his "archdoc" (archiving and
documentation) outbox folder, with what the desktop machine
has. If anything is missing he sends it to the same email
address again. When all checks out he burns a CD on the
desktop of all this email, then deletes these items from

If you mean the latch on the front, then there is a simple
repair I use on one of my palmtops: Take a short length of
rubber bandand force it in behind the latch into the small
cavity which usually contains the spring which holde the latch
tab outward. I used 4 pieces of rubber band, 1.5cm. long, 1mm.
thick and 2.5mm wide. I simply stuffed them one by one in
there until the latch became effective again.

1.5MB would be handy as floppy-disk substitutes, for moving files
between palmtops, and perhaps notebooks/desktops with PCMCIA slots.

But what else recognizes the HP LX filesystem on an SRAM card?  My
experience playing with an Apple Newton 1MB card in a Windows Me
notebook is that the SRAM card is recognized, but (unlike ATA flash
cards) it doesn't get mounted as a Windows-accessible disk volume.

I haven't tried WinME yet, but under Win95, to use SRAM cards, you need to
put two drivers in the Config.Sys file. IIRC, they are Carddrv.sys and
CSMapper.sys. Just check in the Win95 help files for SRAM or PCMCIA and it
will tell you what lines you need to add. I use both SRAM and Flash cards in
my 95LX and on a Toshiba 486 laptop with one PCMCIA slot. The SRAM card gets
added as D: and the Flash card as F: (drive E: is used by the Toshiba's
drive compression software.)

I'm not a hardware guy at all so maybe I missed something but I
don't think I've ever heard of a uart that would do this.

The first computer I ever wrote a serial driver for didn't even
have a uart and if I remember right you couldn't do it there,
either.  That was a Radio Shack Color computer with memory
mapped I/O.  The driver just had to be there in time to pick up
each incomming bit.  And there was no interrupt so it had to be
timed very carefully.  Data was read in from a specific
location, masked and accumulated into a byte and then stored.
Data bits were read out a different address.  I think I remember
that the input address was read-only and the output address was
write only.

I just looked again at Thomas Distributing and they have the GP

Couple of random thoughts on the high capacity NiMH batteries...

*Thought* One of the ways that they increase the capacity of the
batteries is to make the walls thinner. There are some who say
that the high capacity batteries have a higher chance of leaking
because of this, you might want to consider this when picking
batteries for your cherished HP palmtops.

*Thought* For those in the US, Wal-Mart (at least my local one
is) is carrying the 1600mAH Rayovac NiMH batteries for $11 for a
set of 4. These aren't the highest capacity available of course,
but they are on the high end, and really inexpensive.

*Thought* I don't know if I trust manufacturers ratings.

*Thought* Here is a really nice web site about NiMH batteries
from one of the manufacturers.

This is indeed a very interesting idea.
I'm sure if HP had thought about this while developing the LX, it COULD
have been done.

For the switching itself only a GAL would be needed, I think, and these
must be available in an SMD package. To control the GAL only one
control line (high / low) would be needed, and IIRC the CPU of the LX
still has one or two control lines left which are not used (Mack used
one for the backlight to switch it on and off by software).

So it would have been possible if it were designed from scratch, but it
is not really possible now anymore, because the main board had to be
redesigned, otherwise it wouldn't fit into the case of the LX.

Almost nothing seems to work on that site and when it does, it

Hi Giampi,

You might take a look at the field names and formats at the Excel
stage of the process.  Make sure any date fields are formatted
cleanly in Excel, and try removing from the field names anything
that is not an alphabet character.  Sometimes symbols such as #,
$, or ' in field names can cause import problems.

Add a few magnitudes of CPU cycles and a few million more transistors
per square inch and you can easily add the proposed functionality.

I replied to a similar comment offlist, let me send this to the list
as well.

I have to disagree about performing the switching in array logic.  The
problem is that the interface must switch directions *at the pin* of
the serial connector.  At this point, the logic levels are RS232, and
cannot be switched in a GAL/PAL/FPGA/CPLD.  One possible approach,
requiring double the number of drivers/receivers, is to use tri-statable
ones, and tie a transmitter/receiver pair to each pin.  The other, more
common approach, is to use a relay to perform the switching.

Well, the FAX program that came with my 14.4k modem many years ago used
so-called "DCX" files. I believe the format was a PCX variant. I think
tiff was another option too.

Thank you for your replies.

Has something like this happened to anyone before? Were you
able to get back any data?

I have tried a version of Norton Fix It. I don't remember
where I got it. Seems like it came with some package, and
everything was on one disk.

I have all the files copied to one directory. There are 20 files including:
install     exe     03-17-92     2:00a
nav
ndd
npack
nrestore
unerase
unformat

unerase doesn't see any files on c:

Can I assume nu gives more control than than unerase? I'll
see if I still have the old copy the full Norton Utils I
used on a 286.

Ted: About the filer unerase: I can't start the system
manager--divide overflow error. I think that may be caused
by one of my .env files, or alarm.q or something is
corrupted. Can't remember which one right now, my list of corrupted files is at home.

F. Kaufman: About the HP reinitializing itself: What do you
mean? If you mean the RAM disk was initialized to some
empty/default state, no, only the newer files are
missing. The old ones are still there.

I don't use Buddy (oh my!), I have a factory 2MB unit. I did
do the disable filer trick in the faq. I use a 40MB flashram
card which I use for my swap file with Software Carousel
(from 1995), and 6 or 7 work areas. I was running a DOS
application in work area 2 when the HP got wacked (system
manager was running in work area 1). Also, the application
was running from a JAM mounted drive, the .jam file is about
29MB. I have a small .jam file on c: which is still
mountable (hasn't changed in a long time).

Now I have to search the closets.

Thanks for all your help,

Craig

Ok, sounds good. So does it mean that I can open the TIF files
I get as faxes with this PCX viewer? I am not quite clear if
you meant that or something else.

No, faxes are not PCX.  I am only wanting to address the difficulty of
viewing
wide document (really image) on the LX.  It get tire quickly to pan left to
read
the left half (just one line), pan right to read the right half (still the
same line),
pan left again to read the left half (now we're on the second line; that is
if it
is less than 1280 pixels wide; 1722 pixels are worse.)  You get the idea.
It's painful if you are at the bottom of the page and you're using LXPIC
(not
that I'm against LXPIC; I love it and it's a great piece of program) (even
double speed didn't help much.)

I'm making the assumption that you all LX users already know how to
convert from fax to PCX.  I considered putting in the parser but gave up
the idea as I am not quite willing to burn time reinventing the wheel.

By the way, faxes are transmitted in CCITT (ITU?) Group 2 and Group 3
format (or is it Group 3 and Group 4).  TIFF when dealing with faxes
actually just encapsulate the CCITT format.  (At least that's what I'm
lead to believe.)

So, no sorry, PCXViewer won't read fax.  I lied.

Best Regards,
Alfred

HI:

 I had always assumed that the image format of a FAX had to do with the
 FAX client. Anthony Mai's QFAX use PCX format, B. J. Guillot 's BGFAX
 uses ZyXEL, EXP's MiniFAX seemeds to be TIF.

 BTW: VIEW.EXE(60kb) from B. J. Guillot 's BGFAX package reads ZFAX, QFX,
 TIFF, PCX, DCX and others...a very handy program for the LX (of course
 it doesn't replace LXPic)

Cheers...AJKind

If Norton unerase doesn't see any files, I'm pretty sure Filer won't
either.  You may be able to get the Sys Manager started up by deleting
alarm.q and your .env files--I think they're recreated when you start
each application up again.

Yes. I live in upstate New York. It typically gets to -10F
here at night in the winter and sometimes to -20F. My car is
parked outside. I have never had trouble with my 200LX due to
cold outside  temperatures. The thermal mass of the LX plus the
insulating properties of the thin leather case I carry it in
are more than enough to keep it warm during the short time it
spends in the cold.

I've had to deal with a lot of corrupted disks over the years.
My own and people at work who didn't back up and had crashes of
various kinds.  Using NU.exe and before that, Norton.exe, I've
always been able to recover a significant amount of data.

> I have all the files copied to one directory. There are 20
files including:

If that's a directory on a card, fine.  If you've copied it to
your c: drive you've probably blown any chance of recovering
your data.  I hope it's on a card.

When a file is deleted the first letter of it's name in the
directory is replaced with something else.  ODh or 0FFh or some
such.  I don't remember the exact value.  All unerase does is
find names in the directory with the first letter changed and
offer to let you supply a new first letter.  This only works if
the entire chain in the fat table is untouched.  It doesn't
normally help in a corrupted drive because the lost files
haven't been properly marked as deleted.

When a drive gets corrupted you have to locate their directory
entries, get the starting cluster in the fat table and follow
the chain of fat table entries to locate all the data in the
file.  If any entries are missing, and some usually are, you
have to manually search the disk to try to figure out what data
came next.  With a text file this is sometimes not too
difficult.  With data files it can be very difficult.

In any case it requires you to learn the organization of the
disk, how the directory works and how the fat table works.  It's
like solving a very tricky puzzle.

Norton Disk Doctor can do some of this for you but it'll miss a
lot and make it impossible to manually find more.  Someone who
knows what they're doing and is good at puzzles and has lots of
patience and lots of time can usually recover a lot more,
starting with a disk that's been unmodified since the
corruption.  But there are no guarantees.  Sometimes you can't
recover much at all.

We never fooled with it unless there was some truly valuable or
critical data on the disk.  This can take a week or two of
constant work, and there's no guarantee.

There are companies who will do this for you.  They have a lot
of expertise and they usually have a pretty high success rate.
And they charge a LOT of money.

Or use silicone. But take care that you don't stuff too much liquid
silicone onto the gap between latch and screen case! Only a 2cm long
"sausage"!

This is an excellent idea. The silicone probably has a longer
life than rubber band. I recall now someone posted here or in
HPHAND years ago about forming an eraser by cutting it into
strips and pushing it into the cavity.

I thought about using the array logic "as" a relay.
I am pretty sure it could be done (although I have not so much
experience with it - maybe I'm missing something).

Imagine one signal line coming to the array logic, and the array logic
does EITHIER and AND connection of the signal to one pin of the port OR
to the other pin of the port, depending on the control line.
And this could be done for all signals which had to be switched between
two different port pins.

For every pair of signals which had to be crossed over two such logic
elements would be necessary.

Do you know what I mean?

Dbase can convert csf into the database program. You have though to
create a database first and then append the csv.
there is also a very nice program around called convert.
It can even create dbase databases.
You find it here:
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lakes/2414/

The use is not very easy, but it does a lot. And it is small.
And it runs on the HP. I use it regularly - in a batch file - ;-)

I'm sure there aare converters RTF -> TXT, so you can simply extract
all readable text and load it into a standard text editor.

I'd visit simtel.net as a beginning.

This has some interesting possibilities.  If we can all
transplant our bodies and we can clone Robert Redford and Morgan
Fairchild, we might end up with a world of people that all look
like Robert Redford and Morgan Fairchild.  There's a Magritte
painting that this brings to mind.

Even more fun is trying to predict who will become which Robert
and who will become Morgan.  :)

Cloning is nothing new... we have been cloning politicians for years!

Also, you might want to look at the VIEW utility.  It is a shareware
utility by Malcom Drury on Ontario Canada.  If you can't find it on
the web, drop me an e-mail and I'll try to help find him.

It reads /prints a number of different formats, including many MS Word
documents, RTF, and a whole long list of different ones.

I was just looking at my 200lx, and what I said last time about the small .jam drive on c: was incorrect. It's been a month or two since I wacked the palmtop, so I forgot that I had been mounting a backed up version of the file from the flashcard. The one on the c: drive is not mountable, and when I copy it using laplink or intersvr the copied file is only 512 bytes even though a dir on c:\ shows the file at it's full size 714xxx bytes.

Is it safe to remove the r and h attributes and copy it with dos copy command, or is there a DOS utility that will easily allow me to copy a hidden, system, read only file?

The unerase program I used came on "Fix-It Disk #1" of _The Norton Desktop for Windows_ Version 2.0 (Windows 3.1). Since then, I found _The Norton Utilities Advanced Edition_ version 4.5. And I've begun to read the _Norton Trouble Shooter_ section entitled "Lifting Data off a Bad Disk". Hope it works.

I also have the disks for PC Tools version 6, but I can't find the docs. Are they worth searching for?

A bit sad as rtf is supposed to be the universal intermediary.  Are you sure the word2000 output dll is ok and that you have the correct rtftodoc.exe for your
version of dos word, and that it isn't corrupted?

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Hi Werner,

My LXs right hinge did a sort of self destruct a while ago. I noticed
it making a very faint scratching noise when opening and closing for a
few weeks, as if there was a grain of sand or dust inside. I tried
blowing it out but it remained. Then one day it just went CRUNCH ! The
LX couldn't be closed properly and the right hinge was skewed in an
alarming way. I was a bit upset.

My options were to send it to Thaddeus for a proper repair or try
something myself. I didn't fancy being without the LX for weeks while
it made its way to the states and back. I figured I could hardly make
things any worse by having a go myself.

I popped the hinge cover off. The right hinge was partly broken in a
similar place as yours, and the black washer that lives inside the
hinge was cracked, but still in place. The top and bottom parts of the
hinge were attempting to seperate. After looking at the relevant
websites on dissassembling LXs (thankyou for this !) I took to the
right hinge with a small drill with a very small engraving bit and
gently (nervous...of course not) removed the broken hinge bits that
were stopping it closing. There is enough of the hinge left, about 2/3,
for it to still function. The black washer stayed in place about a
week, then disintegrated. I was concerned that the metal spring behind
the washer would wear on the case without the washer in place, but so
far ok. It gets checked every week or so. It looks as though it will
survive without the washer. Even so I've now got a torx no.6 driver in
case I need to take the LX apart and I'm after some of that Loctite
plastic glue mentioned months ago just in case.

Does anyone know if LXGPS works with DeLorme's Earthmate?   I think it is
the replacement for Tripmate and operates at 9600 baud instead of 4800.  I
have tried it with a double speed 200lx and a single speed 200lx, straight
through and with a null modem but come up empty every time.  The Earthmate
does work with my home PC though.

Any ideas?

About 20 years ago, a guy took his computer and new serial printer to
a computer shop to have them "interfaced".  After way too long with no
success, he got so frustrated that he shot and killed the owner of the
shop.

I read about it in probably Infoworld at the time.  When Joe Campbell was
writing "The RS232 Solution" or "C Programmers guide to Serial
Communication" (I forget which), I mentioned it to him and he tracked it
down and put it into the book as a sidebar.  I don't have either book
handy today, but if somebody needs the reference tracked down, there is a
full reference to the news story in one of those two books.

Subject:      Palmtop serial connection to Linux host with WWW/LX
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Hi friends,

does anyone know where to begin to setup a serial ocnnection to a linux
host with WWW/LX to share a DSL line (I want to be able to load me
email into WWW/LX on the palmtop, which is connected using the serial
cable to a linux box which is connected to the Internet via DSL)?
Anyone using such a setup successfully with the palmtop?

I already have IP masquerading set up on the Linux host and I'm already
sharing the DSL line with machines connected via Ethernet to the Linux
box. That works like a charm.
But I don't want to connect the palmtop via Ethernet because I have all
my email stored on the flash card, so I cannot swap cards when using
Post/LX for email in order to insert an Ethernet card.

And I don't want to use a modem line anymore in addition to the DSL
line because I now have a flat rate for the DSL line. This should drop
my telephone bill from about 120US$ now to a maximum of 60US$!

I have tried a little bit around already. I found out that WWW/LX seems
to support PPP or SLIP over the serial line, so I had to use something
like SLiRP or PPPD on the Linux host.

But I wasn't able to get a working connection with my first tries using
SLiRP or PPPD.

The Tips and Tricks page of DASoft mentions a "direct" script which
shall work with such a setup. I don't have such a script in my

I have C Programmers guide and while that book has some interesting
historical tidbits about how the serial port terminology evolved from the
days of the telegraph it makes no mention of the shooting story so it must
be in the rs232 solution book

Dennis,

if you run a DOS program from Filer, it grabs all available memory for
itself, regardless of how much it really needs to run. Therefore, you
won't have any memory left to run Memo or anything else.

However, if you first launch Memo and leave that running, then switch
to Filer and launch Solitaire, you should be able to swith between both
apps on both machines, since in that case Solitaire gets less memory
because Memo already has occupied its piece of memory.

An alternative to that would be to add an entry for Solitaire in
Application Manager and specify the amount of memory for it. In that
case, Solitaire would not grab all memory and leave space for other
apps.

Ah, the web server problem again.
Yes, there should be images, I think.
I keep the images of my site on another web server than the HTML files,
and that picture server is not very reliably.
Try it again tomorrow, then the pictures whould reappear. Sorry!

I'll change my ISP soon, so I'll have 100MB space for my home page
within the next days. Then the images won't fail anymore! :-)

A couple of months ago I was charging the NiMH batteries of a 32mb DS 200lx
I was starting to get serious about configuring. The unit made a high
pitched squealing sound, got quite warm and died in a matter of a few
minutes. So much for getting serious :-(

Some years back I had two failed (1mb & 2mb units with same symptoms of
excessive charging heat and failure to charge batteries) which went back to
HP / Corvallis for exchange.

Battery polarity was correct in all cases.
Is this a known 200lx problem? Anyone know what causes the problem?

Some years ago this program was posted in the HPHAND forum of Compuserve. I
have no idea of whether the program is still there or if Compuserve has
reorganized the forum or if the author can still be contacted. It might be
what you are looking for. These are some (Mac) extracted notes:

------------------
DOCRTF.EXE

This program converts DOC-files from HP-Memo to the RTF-Format
and vice versa. You can use most of the formatting features as
Bold, Underlined, Fields, Page-Break and others.

The program was build to look like SYSMGR-Compilant, but it's a
normal EXE-File. I think, that the program explains itself.

If you just enter an asterix (*) instead of a filename, DOCRTF
calls the freeware program PICK.EXE from Harry Konstas to let
you choose a file in a comfortable File Selection Box.

One of the future plans are to rewrite the program with PAL 2.0
if it becomes available. (The File Selection Box will then be
part of the program itself)

You can use it directly from the DOS-Prompt on a desktop PC too,
you just enter the following command at the DOS prompt to
convert a DOC-File to a RTF-File:

  DOCRTF /D FILE.DOC FILE.RTF

The FILE.DOC must exist and is the formatted MEMO-file.
The FILE.RTF is the RTF-file created by the procedure, if the
file already exists, it would be overwritten.

To use it to convert from RTF to DOC use the following command
line option

  DOCRTF /R FILE.RTF FILE.DOC

It's very important, that the /D or /R parameter are written
before the filenames.

This program is CardWare (send me a picture postcard of your
home town if you like this program, don't send me money). If
you find a bug, please let me know about via e-mail. My e-mail
adress is at the end of the documentation.

I am using word for dos that I downloaded from the MS site. As far as
I know nothing is corrupted and it has the right converter. RTF
doesn't seem to be as universal as MS claims.

Was one of the first programs I tried but it gave me an unreadable

the suggestion though.

Will View keep the document formatting and run on the 200LX? It may
be just what I need. Thanks.

I need to convert it and keep the document formatting so I can print

John:

Well, within limits it will keep formatting.  There are clearly
limits to how good you can render a Word or RTF document on the
DOS text-based screen.  But I was pleasantly surprised when I
recently tried to save a Word memo that one of my clients sent
me onto my palmtop.  I tried using Word to generate a text file,
but the memo contained mostly of tables which the automatic text
generator failed at miserably.  But VIEW, to my surprise, rendered
a very acceptable rendition of the memo.

I just dug up a link to Malcom's website where one can get the
latest copy of VIEW.

Good luck,

My brother was having problems with a corrupted OS, his laptop
kept crashing. Whenever he would re-start it he would get the
"computer shutdown improperly" message. At some point this
irritated him enough that he smacked the display and broke it.
At least he didn't throw it in the river.....

hi,

is there any call-by-call Internet access possible in Italy?
I will be there next week and I'd rather pay local phone calls than
international charges to my provider at home.
Any hint appreciated.

best regards, Werner

Jack:

Just a couple of thoughts.  You don't say whether you are running
with an input file, or just running the program with no arguments.
It the latter, maybe the executable is corrupted.

But if this happens when you specifiy an appointment file, maybe
the file is exceptionally large?  There is one known limit which
is mentioned in the documentation.  If you have extremely long
notes, the program will fail because there is a fixed line limit
of 8K bytes per appointment.

Back when I thought I had a problem (I was actually running gdbio
instead of adbdump), I went into my appointment book and trimmed
the accumulated appts.  I archived all of 1999 into one file, then
deleted them from my main appt file.  Ditto for 2000.  That left
me with a reasonably small appt book file, but I still have older
appointments available for reference if needed.

Also, what free memory do you have when you are trying to run the
program?  Maybe that is what causes the message.  Let me know what
you discover, I'm curious.

There have been many people on the list that believe charging batteries in
the 200lx is okay but I had the same thing happen to me. I was using a
program to extend the charging times but the numbers were set conservatively
(according to what I've read here). after a $125 repair from thaddeus, I've
now found so many cheap sources for good alkalines that I don't bother with
rechargables. It's worse for the environment but.... <shrug> watcha gonna
do?

BTW: I was using the green NiMHs from times2tech.

A couple of months ago I was charging the NiMH batteries of a 32mb DS 200lx
I was starting to get serious about configuring. The unit made a high
pitched squealing sound, got quite warm and died in a matter of a few
minutes. So much for getting serious :-(

Some years back I had two failed (1mb & 2mb units with same symptoms of
excessive charging heat and failure to charge batteries) which went back to
HP / Corvallis for exchange.

Battery polarity was correct in all cases.
Is this a known 200lx problem? Anyone know what causes the problem?

I have no idea since I have not yet seen it. But I imagine you write
the cd title in a field and it goes out in the database on the internet
and find the tracknames.

Hi All/Curtis

Downloaded Outlook <=> HPLX Converter, Version 2.20 and see that I can
export Outlook Address book, phone numbers etc. to my LX (or the other way,
or synchronize them) but the Calendar and To Do items seem only to be
LX-to-Outlook w/ no synchronization and/or Outlook-to-LX export (which I
need).

Left my Palm Pilot at a clients today (was smart enough to keep my LX
secured in my vehicle and safe from my hurried state!). Don't know for sure
which of my last two stops it was and I won't know 'til tomorrow, if they'll
be honest about it and say it's there.... So, I'm trying to dump all my
Outlook data into my LX (been using the LX for spreadsheets and calculations
and the Palm for simple math, phone numbers (FAX, etc.) and the day-to-day
appt.

EEK!

Anyway, back to the LX conversion. The Calendar/Tasks section of the Outlook
conversion program has the Outlook to LX and Synchronize portions grayed out
(or greyed, dep. on where you're from). Does that mean these features aren't
avail. yet? I've tried moving a palmtop file into an area where the program
could see it like the phone file it saw (hoping for the items to "ungray"
and let me select "overwrite," as I did w/ the phone file. I'm just going to
rename that "work.pdb" or "outlook.pdb" and be go from there. I've got
things in my phone.pdb file that I do not wish to sync. w/ outlook or the
palm (should I ever find it/get another).

Any help on dumping Outlook calendar and tasks into the LX is GREATLY
appreciated!!

TIA,

www.compgeeks.com has these for $129 if you don't want to wait.
They are all over e-bay also. These draw too much power to run on
the HPLX, looks like over 500mA. They are powered through the
PCMCIA port. Bryan

The IBM URL is:
http://www.storage.ibm.com/hardsoft/diskdrdl/prod/external_drives.htm

I am also interested, I want to use the drive with both my
Thinkpad 560 and my Omnibook 425.
I bet you could use it with the 200LX if you rigged an external
power supply but I don't know what I'd do with 8Gb connected to
the palmtop. I haven't filled up the 8Mb yet......

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear enough.  Here's how the process
works:

1. CDs are catalogued with a cddb/freedb aware CD player program
   on a machine that has access to the internet and a CD drive.
   See http://www.freedb.org/ for details.  You might also want
   to check http://www.cddb.com/, but that company changed their
   policy.

2. The cddb-aware CD player uses the CD's table of contents to
   calculate a cddb-id and consults with one or more cddbp-servers
   to retrieve information about CDs.  Most CD players store the
   retrieved information locally in the same format as the cddb
   server does.  Here's an example:
     http://whisky.wu-wien.ac.at/M/Jazz/Big%20Bands/ef0d1312

3. The script "cddb2gdb" uses the locally stored cddb database
   files and transfers data into a GDB template.  The script needs
   the locally cached files in the same format as the example above.

4. The resulting GDB file can then be transfered to the HP-LX and
   used when you're shopping for new cds.

The cddb2gdb script and instructions for the installation
can be found here:

  http://afs.wu-wien.ac.at/usr/edvz/gonter/sw/cddb2gdb/

I hope this makes the process clearer and maybe it's of use for
anybody.  Please let me know if you need more information.

Hi friends,

(a CC: goes to Avi in case he wants to comment on this)

has anyone written something like that already?
If not: Who would be interested in such a software?

My thoughts:

It should be a software which takes the HP's phone book (a CSV file
created with GDBIO from the phone.pdb) and converts the entries
"name", "email address" (if you have such a field) and "mobile phone"
to an ADR file which you can use as
POST.ADR for Post/LX.

The email addresses are written into the POST.ADR in the format

name <email address>

and the mobile phone numbers are written into the POST.ADR as

number | name

for use in the To: field for sending an SMS with Stefan's PDU.

If nothing like this exists by now, I'll write such a filter, because
I'd love to have such a thing. So it isn't necessary anymore to
maintain two different email address books.

I would make it fully customizable to your phone.pdb by giving it 3
arguments: The first argument is the column number of the CSV file
which holds the name, the second is the column number which holds the
email address and the third is the column number of the column which
holds the mobile number. Entries which hold email AND phone number
would create two single entries in the post.adr.

Any more ideas? This all is only theoretical by now and it probably
takes a few weeks for me to write that software, because I'm very busy
these days.

If nobody already has such a filter, I can probably whip one up.
I already have the code that reads and parses the CSV output from
GDBIO for the PHONE book.  Printing out the .ADR file ought not be
too bad.

Let me finish my APPT debugging first.  I'm tantalizingly close...
And just so you guys don't think I've been slacking off, let me
say that I've been spending about 2hrs each night for the past
2-3 weeks working on APPT (and PREF and ZONE, too).

Quick update: The Palm turned up (this is a personable list; so I didn't
want to cause folks to have undue worry for me <grin>).

But, after using the HPLX<=>Outlook conversion, I plan to use my LX more.

*Is* there a way to export Outlook Calendar and Todo events into the LX?
(Unless I'm using the program wrong ... or have missed something, it looks
like I can only send LX ToDo and Calendar items to Outlook).

TIA,

I'm not sure where the problem lies. I used my LX to charge the batteries
for a few years with no problems. One day, it was shot. I do have to say
that I was using software to alter the charging rate but I recall setting
the values to something that (to my interpretation) was considered
conservative by the list 'consesus'. Overall, I would say that it's a better
idea to use a $15 battery charger than risk the death of an expensive
machine.

There have been many people on the list that believe
charging batteries in
the 200lx is okay but I had the same thing happen to me. I
was using a
program to extend the charging times but the numbers were
set conservatively
(according to what I've read here). after a $125 repair from
thaddeus, I've
now found so many cheap sources for good alkalines that I
don't bother with
rechargables. It's worse for the environment but.... <shrug>
watcha gonna
do?

BTW: I was using the green NiMHs from times2tech.

Question #2 - I have observed this ocassionally.  But I have also
seen something that is puzzling to me.  Every so often, when I try
to dial out with WWW/LX on my cellphone and using IRDA, this happens.
The program properly connects to the cellphone, and recognizes what
brand/model it is.  Then it reports, very quickly, that there is no
answer or busy signal.  By watching the phone, it doesn't even appear
to be dialing out.  When I make a successful connection, I can see

my 2c:

1. check the adapter for output voltage and make sure it is "regulated" -
unregulated, cheap 12V adapters usually put out 18V to the LX

2. use slow.com to charge the LX instead of the higher "fast" charge; it
will take longer (12 hours min) but it will not get as hot

Should i give you the benefit of the doubt and call it Easter slump? If all
i get from posting my series of intelligent brain implants is clones of
Robert Redford and Morgan Fairchild including the odd politician (and i
received no private e-mail) it tells me that i was wasting my time.

This is no FLUFF - Human Interface Technology and others are going to make
lasers which transmit the whole of your computer monitor image directly to
your optic nerve. No need to buy monitors any more, no need to buy
television sets any more. No need for wearing reading glasses. No need to
worry about weather backlit LX screens will be made. For me this is ranks in
importance to the invention of TV, and is so far the greatest invention of
this century. If all you can come up with is lame actors and politicians the
list is losing its iq/potency and is not worth my while.

I have been using Olympus Camedia NiMh (shared with my camera)
as well as Radio Shack NiMh batteries. I use the built in
charging routine and plug each (primary and backup palmtop) in
overnight once a week or so.
I figure the possibility of damage to the internal charging
circuitry is offset  by the possibility of damaging the battery
door by swapping the batteries.
The power comes from my omnibook 425 charger, correct voltage,
correct plug and  correct logo.
Mind you I'm not a power user, no microdrives or laser death ray
modules....

All what you suggested sounds just fine to me. I have had the need for
this ever since I got the Nokia 7110. With this I do not need to
maintain both post.adr and the phonebook.

Since I use Post/Lx to grab emailadresses it has the most recent
emailadress collection. So I once in a while insert the post.adr in the
phonebook and do some cut and paste on the emailadresses.

I do not think that this can be automated in any way.

This sounds great

Hi

Forewards this to the users of Nokia 6210 and Www/lx on the list. If
you also have HSCD you can get 43.2kbps.

I have not tried all these settings yet. (My 6210 is at service :-)

But I use one of these and get over 30kbps

The Dlr3p works on the 7110 but the Dlr3 does not work on the

I have seen this (or similar) when the signal in the area is not there.
I get a rapid "dudududu" in the speaker on the phone.

Subject: Palmtop serial connection to Linux host with WWW/LX
To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU

Hi friends,

does anyone know where to begin to setup a serial ocnnection to a linux
host with WWW/LX to share a DSL line (I want to be able to load my
email into WWW/LX on the palmtop, which is connected using the serial
cable to a linux box which is connected to the Internet via DSL, i.e.
there is a network device "ppp0" available in linux which leads to the
internet and I want to be able to use this device over /dev/ttyS0)?
Anyone using such a setup successfully with the palmtop / WWW/LX?

I already have IP masquerading set up on the Linux host and I'm already
sharing the DSL line with machines connected via Ethernet to the Linux
box. That works like a charm.
But I don't want to connect the palmtop via Ethernet because I have all
my email stored on the flash card, so I cannot swap cards when using
Post/LX for email in order to insert an Ethernet card.

And I don't want to use a modem line anymore in addition to the DSL
line because I now have a flat rate for the DSL line. This should drop
my telephone bill from about 120US$ now to a maximum of 60US$!

I have tried a little bit around already. I found out that WWW/LX seems
to support PPP or SLIP over the serial line, so I had to use something
like SLiRP or PPPD on the Linux host.

But I wasn't able to get a working connection with my first tries using
SLiRP or PPPD.

The Tips and Tricks page of DASoft mentions a "direct" script which
shall work with such a setup. I don't have such a script in my
www.cfg...

Please help if you can!

Thanks in advance
daniel

Which phone do you use?
Maybe starting WWW/LX with the parameter -@16 gives any hints?
Simply try a

www.exe -@16 SETUP

where SETUP is the name of your mobile phone setup in www.cfg.

You can of course redirect the output into a file so you can access it
later.

Hi friends,

since Al has changed the header information of all list messages, so
that "reply"ing to a message sends the reply to the sender instead to
the list (to avoid thos flame wars which came up in the past), I got
several answers to list postings to my private email address instead
that they went to the list.

If you use Post/LX to read the list: Don't press F3 to reply to a list
message, if you want to reply TO THE LIST, but press "T" for "to:".
This fills the To: field of the new message with the list address
instead of the private address of the original poster!

I have a HP 200 LX database (AIRPORT.GDB) that I created a couple
years ago from information downloaded from a web site. It has 1826
airports in it, but alas it only lists the 3-letter airport codes.

If you want the database nonetheless, just let me know.

Hi

Forewards this to the users of Nokia 6210 and Www/lx on the list. If
you also have HSCD you can get 43.2kbps.

I have not tried all these settings yet. (My 6210 is at service :-)

But I use one of these and get over 30kbps

I have a free ISP where I can log in and

When I tried to do the same with WWW/LX

"Can't log in. Need "cookies" for

Turn on "cookies" in your browser and

And finaly the program crashes with a run time error.

Is this old news or am I doing something wrong?

hard words!

Okay, I'll proof that there is still some IQ on the list (but please
don't judge about my potency here. I had to proof that on
another way) ;-)

Projecting an image directly to the retina is just the first step: When
will we finally be able to transfer the bits stored on the LX's flash
card directly into our brains? Then no screen, no keyboard and no
programming languages would be needed anymore!

But also verbal or written communication will be replaced by simple
binary data flow. Everything is directly blown into our brains. So the
whole knowledge of the world could be collected and blown into
everybody's brain.

I learned that the brain has a practical capacity limit of abt. 8
Terabytes, but that is only because of the slow "data flow" through our
eyes, ears etc. multiplied by our lifetime.

If that "human" data flow can be replaced by much faster direct data
input into the brain via data networks, I'd love to know how big the
real capacity of the brain is! (But I really don't want to get near my
limit. Must be depressing!)

But be honest - such discussions ARE off topic, so I'd suggest everyone
who is interested in such utopian phantasies should visit a related
newsgroup.

Even your initial posting about direct image projection into the
eye isn't really on-topic here, because no such device will be able to be
connected to the LX. But it is interesting, of course.

I don't remember seeing anything like this in your original
post.  Maybe before you decide we're all a bunch of dunderheads
you should consider the possibility that you didn't get the idea
across.

There is a problem with the included wizard.exe program, and the
English-Spanish dictionary from www.freedict.com. It seems to
get most of the way through whatever it's doing, then gives a
general protection fault.

It worked fine with the English-French dictionary. If anyone
successfully creates the Spanish dictionary I would be
interested in getting a copy.

Hi friends,

I have the option to buy a simple tech 96MB CF card for a quite good
price.

I know SimpleTech cards consume more power than Sandisk cards.
Currently I have a 64MB Sandisk card.

Would you recommend me to upgrade or not? I expect that I can sell my
64MB card for the wame price for which I get the new one, so money is
not an issue. It's only a calculation of advantages and disadvantages.

Thanks

 I just acquired a HP Omnibook 300.

The hard drive does not work.

I inserted a 64 Meg Smart Media card using an adapter and got the following error:

"A PC card has been detected, but no driver is installed"

I have been to the sandisk site and was unable to find the appropiate driver.

Any other suggestions?

That can not be done in HV.

Cookies is a (correct me if I am wrong) "script" which is downloaded o
you machine. Cookies can be used for verification purposes. You have
the cookie then you are allowed to access this and that..something like
that..

No. You use Www/lx and HV for this email? If that is the case you have
a problem which probably will not be solved because HV does not support
cookies.

Thats alright.. :-)

I forgot to say how to write the initstring in the Www.cfg:

ISP_Telenor
Port=-1
Baud=38400
Modem=1
PPP=1
Login=
Password=
Modeminit=ATZ+cbst=81,0,1;+chsn=6,0,0,0

I will test a couple of the others. V110 will give you a faster
authentication. But not sure that the Hplx will be any faster with
higher speeds then the one I use. I have a DS machine.

I have been charging NiMH's in my 100LX and now 200LX for many
years. Never had a problem.

That's indeed a very good price! But unfortunately Amazon.com doesn't
ship electronics to international addresses.
I've had a look at Amazon.de, but they sell the 64MB card for 300 DM
(150$) and the 96MB card isn't listed at all.

Thanks anyway!

Many sites REQUIRE cookies. See below.

They are small pieces of information placed on your computer
by the Webbrowser and read by the Webbrowser. The information
generally tells the Websites about who you are, or perhaps
what pages in the site you have already visited, and so on.
Many other kinds of information, too.

WWW/LX per se has no involvement, it is only the browser part,
namely HV.EXE, in our case. HV can store one single cookie
(may or may not be enough for your email application) and that
cookie will be deleted at the end of the session. (Most
cookies are retained for longer periods of time, but not in
HV.)

Hope this helps.

The Nokia 8210 also supports the CHSN command, but only up to
14400 KBits/s. The 8210 answers to AT+CHSN=3D? with

+CHSN: (0-2),(0,1),(0),(0,4,8,12)

(see the PDF:"AT Command Set for Nokia 8210" for explanations).

To me, that means, the 8210 also supports High Speed Circuit
Switched Data (HSCSD). However I cannot test it, because my
provider only supports GPRS :-(

Cliff,

The OB 300 will use a early Sundisk PCMCIA card that runs on
12 or 5 volts.  Look for 10, 20 or 40 megs.  I've heard that
the 300 won't recognize more than 40 megs.  I have wanted to
test both a larger drive and a compact flash in a OB 300 but
don't have one at the moment to test.  Stick with Sandisk as
they work right out of the box.   =Bob=

Hello All (from Lexington KY):

 I have always known that the OB800 adapter (in this particular case
 F1044B) was the same voltage and pin configuration as the LX, but
 never put it to the test...well necessity it the mother of
 invention...I forgot to pack my LX adapter on this trip so time to
 tempt fate<G>...works great of course! Hopefully the mall next to the
 hotel has a RatShack...methinks an "octopus" cable with one female and
 2 male jacks would be really handy.

 Cheers...AJKind

Not a totally unusual place but I am posting this email from a new UPS
hub. I am installing scan
tunnels. The 200LX is serving me well as a database to keep track of
all the equipment we are installing and setting up. It is also able to
program some of the equipment using datacomm and the serial cable. I
posted this email using Post/LX and the Startac 7868 phone as my modem.
The phone works great as a modem since it has to be carried anyway and
it uses no power from the batteries of the LX. Have a great day.

I think SimpleTech's controller was found to disable LX light sleep, and
this accounted for faster performance on the LX and lowered battery life.
During operations, the card didn't actually use more power than other cards
(at least as I can recall).

I'm with Bob Newins on this, and would stick to Sandisk.  SimpleTech may
work OK in general, but in swapped use on other machines (and I know you
have Omnibooks too), it seems to have more than the usual number of
glitches reported (on both LX and OB lists).

What I do is have the list address as the top address in my
Post/LX address list.  I Reply normally but then press Enter on
the To: address which brings up the address list.  Since the LX
list address is on top I only have to press Enter again to add
it to the Reply.

Hi Everybody,

I am fresh owner of 200lx and after some "sculpturing" I come
with some questions/news.

Do all this CF cards need extra drivers to work with? I mean especially
the bigger ones - 32, 64, ... MB?
What's the impact of capacity of CF card on power sink?
I found somewhere that a 32 MB card takes about 1 - 1.5 mA
while reading and about 40 - 50 mA while writing.
I would like to know how much power "eats" machine during
normal operation? (I've got no manuals and I did not find it on the
Internet.)

I always wanted to have Latex and C compiler on a palmtop.
Today I managed to put on my 4 MB + 2.5 MB PCMCIA LX
quite operational Daniel's version of emTex and Borland C 2.0
with some extra tools and I still have got near 3 MB of free disk
space. This took me a lot of work, but now I see no competitor
to my LX on the market.

I use the OB800 adapter all the time for my LX.
Works great.
The only drawback is the plug. IMO the plug of the OB adapter is not as
easy to remove from the LX as the plug of the LX adapter. I don't know
why. But I'm always careful when removing the plug, that I don't damage
the LX's power jack.

Hi friends,

sorry for the bandwidth - but I hope this may enjoy some of you :-)
I don't know by whom that was written. I hope it is not too old and
you all don't know it already!



If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
And the address of the memory,
Makes your floppy disk abort,
Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report.

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,
And the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash,
And you data is corrupted,
Because the index doesn't hash,
Then your situation's hopeless,
And your systems gonna crash!

If the label on the cable on the table at your house,
Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,
But your packets want to tunnel onto another protocol,
Thats repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,
And your screen is distorted by the side effects of gauss,
So your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse,
Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,
Cause as sure as I'm a poet the suckers gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disc,
And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary risk,
Then you'll have to flash your memory,
And you'll want to RAM your ROM,
Quickly turn of the computer and be sure to tell your Mom!

Welcome to the club!

I would suggest that you stick with the Sandisk cards. I believ the 220 and
up need drivers but not any others. Getting them in CF size is good as you
can swap between the LX and a camera. If you're interested in type-2 sized
cards (not CF) I have 40 and 85 mb sandisk cards collecting dust right now.
I also got a simpletech 48mb full size PCMCIA type 1 card. All cards are
verified to work in my lx.

If you're a Latex user then you would probably be interested in knowing that
you can get a full minix distribution working on the LX. It's a fairly good
unix clone with multi-tasking but it only supports 64kb sized executables
and the LX is dedicated to running Minix only when it is running. it does
come with a C compiler and man pages, tho, and it takes all of 40Mb for the
full distribution.


Have fun.

Hi Everybody,

I am fresh owner of 200lx and after some "sculpturing" I come
with some questions/news.

Do all this CF cards need extra drivers to work with? I mean especially
the bigger ones - 32, 64, ... MB?
What's the impact of capacity of CF card on power sink?
I found somewhere that a 32 MB card takes about 1 - 1.5 mA
while reading and about 40 - 50 mA while writing.
I would like to know how much power "eats" machine during
normal operation? (I've got no manuals and I did not find it on the
Internet.)

I always wanted to have Latex and C compiler on a palmtop.
Today I managed to put on my 4 MB + 2.5 MB PCMCIA LX
quite operational Daniel's version of emTex and Borland C 2.0
with some extra tools and I still have got near 3 MB of free disk
space. This took me a lot of work, but now I see no competitor
to my LX on the market.

If I do what you do I add the hplx-l mailaddress to the private

That means that if you do that on this message I will get a reply to

Good tip!  I've been doing this for years - also works for the Omnibook
5000's AC adapter, as well as the OB300.  Speaking of the OB300 (I know this
is a little off topic), it's NiMH battery pack suddenly stopped holding a
charge.  After being left charging for 12 hours, terminal voltage was 0.00V!
I figured it was fried anyway, so I zapped it with 12VDC @ 10A
intermittently for a few seconds.  Whadda ya know, it came back to life!
It's been working fine ever since!  Encouraged by this success, I did the
same thing to the NiCd pack in my HP97 desktop calculator (which has been
dead for *years*), and it's now working again, too!

Hello All (from Lexington KY):

 I have always known that the OB800 adapter (in this particular case
 F1044B) was the same voltage and pin configuration as the LX, but
 never put it to the test...well necessity it the mother of
 invention...I forgot to pack my LX adapter on this trip so time to

If you are referring to these drives that I have, these are the
original drive used in the OB300, and they do work. I have sold a
couple to list members who may still be hanging around who could
testify. As for flash cards, a lot of early machines looked for
the manufactures name on the card and would only work with
certain cards. The Ricoh G-1200S was that way also. Fortunately a
lot of cards are OEM Sandisk. Bryan

What kind of AC adapter were you using? I experienced a problem with
overheating when I charged batteries one time and discovered my
adapter voltage had risen to 14 volts! When I changed it with another
that was at 12 volts the problem went away. The specs for adapters in
the manual are 9 to 14 volts but I thing anything over 12 volts is
too high and will damage the machine.

I had a problem like this but my LX didn't squeal. I left it plugged
in to the adapter and on and when I came back it was very hot and had
shut down. I unplugged it and when it cooled off it came back on and
was ok- haven't had a problem with it since. I changed adapters
though because the adapter I was using had risen to 14 volts. I had
another problem with the same adapter with another 200LX where I was
charging batteries and using a pc card modem. It got very hot again
and shut down. I again found the adapter voltage had risen to 14
volts. So I threw the adapter away. Now I only use adapters that are
regulated 12 volts and haven't had any more problems. I charge
batteries in all my LX's at least once a week and have done it for
years and haven't experienced
any problems except for the above. I also frequently use a pc card
modem while the lx is charging. I extend the charging times to
properly charge my batteries and many times charge for 16 to 24 hours
straight on a fast charge. I would suspect your adapter voltage is
too high and the high voltage burned up your LX's charging circuit.
With 12 volts or less the LX will not get excessively warm while
charging even on the fast (100mA) charge and you won't experience any
problems. The adapter I was having problems with was a Radio Shack
12 volt regulated linear adapter. The regulation wasn't worth beans
though.
I'd stay away from Radio Shack adapters they are junk. Now I use a
Philong 12 volt one outlet switching adapter and the regulation is
very good. It hasen't varied from 12 volts since I got it.

I've looked at every PDA out there.  They all suck.  I now
have a 545 and a 680, none of which come within a
million miles of the flexibility and reliability of the 200lx.
I've also looked at every device out there...they all suck
compared to the 200lx.

If you have a 200lx you will be sorely disappointed in
everything out there.

My first choice would be an updated 200lx.  Since that
is not an option I would not have a second choice at
this time.

Nothing out there comes within a million miles of the
200lx, mainly because Wince is not ready for prime time
yet, the palm platform sucks, and no other OS for the
devices is ready to take it's place.

With all of the new devices out today....the 200lx is still
the champion.  As I keep saying...newer is not always
better.

No: Before CF.
CDs are not usable within a 200LX (except maybe with a SCSI-PCMCIA card
or via Laplink). I thought you knew that... ;-)

Hi friends,

I'm currently writing a converter program to convert the palmtop's
phone book 'email' and 'mobile phone' entries into post.adr format (used by
Post/LX as address book).

The program works already, but unfortunately, in DOS the system crashes
after execution of pdb2adr.exe and in Linux, I get (also after
successful execution) messages like

02047: binding file ./a.out tp /lib/libc.so.6: normal symbol 'fclose'
GLIBC_2.1
02047: binding file /lib/libc.so.6 to /lib/libc.so.6: normal symbol
'_IO_file_close_it' GLIBC_2.1

and so on (about 17 lines of that kind).
I see that at least the functions 'fclose', 'exit' and
'free' are involved into these problems.

fclose doesn't seem to be executed anymore, but because it is at the
end of the program, it doesn't have any effect to the correct output.
It only crashes my palmtop :-(

Could anyone please give me advice here? I don't know what I'm doing
wrong.
I have not so much experience in C programming, so it may be that I
have made arrors with pointers, strings or so which have side effects.
If the one who would like to help needs the source code it's no problem
for me to give it away, since pdb2adr should be open source anyway.

TNX
daniel

P.S.: I don't want you to finish my work, but I want to LEARN what I
did wrong!

For that matter a floppy is not usable in the 200lx either unless you have
a pcmcia floppy adapter.

One thing that I have noticed is that my 14.4 XJACK modem
gets quite warm when I am online.

If I charge the batteries at the same time, things
get too hot, the display contrast shifts,
and sometimes the entire machine will just shut down.

Now I just disable charging while online, and those
problems have gone away.

Consumer Reports just reviewed PDAs.  I can't find the magazine

Could the 200lx be upgraded?  Would HP allow it to
be done?   I know they allow what Thaddeus does but
would they protest if a more substantial upgrade were
possible?

I want to stress I have no inside information but
I still believe that HP bowed to pressure from
Micro$oft to kill the 200lx to pave the way for
wince.

It is my belief that Micro$oft and HP felt that an
upgraded 200lx would be too much of a threat to
wince and wanted it dead.

Where HP owns the patents on the 200lx would
they have to approve any upgrades?   Would
any upgrades have to licensed by HP?   It would
seem to me that HP owns the rights to the design
of the 200lx just as much as someone owns  the
rights to a given piece of software.

I have a Jornada 720 running pocket DOS. I just bought it so
I'm not ready to say it's the perfect replacement for the LX,
But MessySoft and HP fixed many of the problems that plagued
the eariler machines.

I run Quickbasic 45 in PocketDos, and it's faster than my DS
200LX. And it runs dos apps in color!!! I still have a lot of
testing to do though. If anyone wants any continued feedback,
let me know...

Pocket DOS runs version 6.22 of Datalight DOS. http://www.pocketdos.com

As for palms, which was the original question, I've tried several.
My latest try was the Color Visor, which I've found to be a real
strain on the eyes. I also have the FITALY keyboard, which seems
to be better than graffiti. The stowaway keyboard adds too much
baggage to the setup.

Just an FYI, I also have a Psion 5MX, and while the software and the
sync features are okay, the keyboard leaves a lot to be desired.
In particular the "." key which should be under the l, was moved
to the left, and is under the k. In it's place is the up arrow key. I
constantly find my cursor one line too high.

So to sumarize, for this vacation, I've packed just my Jornada 720
and my 200LX as a backup. So far I have not had to pull the 200
LX out of it's case. The 720 is pretty sweet, and fast too!

Mike...

P.S. I can actually touch type on the 720, accurately!

Anybody have any ideas why a 200LX that worked one minute would not turn on
the next time, a few hours later, it was tried ?
Tried replacing the mail batteries and will try the backup battery shortly.
Have not been using an AC power supply, cuz I don't have one.
Have had the PCMCIA card out though, 80mb Kingston.

Tried two sets of batteries.
One new set of energizers and a set of rechargeable NiMH that are charged on
a separate charger.
Put in a new coin battery too.

Tried Ctrl-Alt-Del and tried Ctrl-ON-"up gold arrow" to reset but nothing.
Took the PCMCIA card out too.

Can these be fixed and about how much does ir usually run ?

thanks

Did you make sure the new batteries were good?  I've had times where I purchased

Subject:      Case of data corruption on drive C:
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT

Hello all,

Something strange happened today to my used 2MB stock 200LX,
which I got about a month ago. It had a 8MB Nikon (OEM Sandisk)
CF card plugged in and single-use Varta Alkalines, which were at
2.54V according to Stefan Peichl's Frames, CR coin at 2.9V.

The backup remained intact on CF card, while on C: drive appt
book and notetaker entries went corrupt, they wouldn't load. DOS
chkdsk didn't help, reported corrupt directories, lost chains, etc.

I immediately removed CF and run all tests with ESC-ON. Each
one finished OK. (Machine is SG640....... series).

Very embarrassing, especially that I cannot find any reason why it
happened and how. What else, apart from radioactivity and particle
beam can cause data corruption? It worked yesterday evening and
not when I woke up this morning.
Sheds a new light on the passage found in developer's docs,
saying: "200LX does not have parity RAM, so we can find lotsa
exciting new uses for the NMI".

The weirdest thing is that I was busy on Friday writing a post to a
local newsgroup, in response to a guy, who asked what cheap
components to buy for homebuilding a PC, which could run
complex math calculations continously for 6 weeks with 99.9999%
reliability under Win9X.

I politely explained him about IBM mainframes, Chipkill ECC
memory, redundant powersupply, UPS, real OSes, like BSD Unix
and OS/390, etc.

Well, seems like I was preaching water and drinking wine, when it
comes to reliability with my machine, the 200lx. What the hell did
happen? I feel lucky that do to a minor LCD screen defect (some
missing half columns), I do not use this palmtop as a single store
of data. I also don't have too much event to keep in mind anyhow.

Sincerely: Tamas Feher.

Don't pay much, they are worth about $10 or less. The adapter is
nothing but a physical mapping of the pins, there are no
electronics in it. If you are in the USA, I know that Office
Depot carries them for about $15 or less. Bryan

Yes keep us updated. I've been looking at the 720 but have always
been turned off by the size issue. It is too big to fit in my pocket.
How well does xt-ce and pocket dos handle the serial and irda ports?
Does Trans PC have a driver for WinCE for their pcmcia parrallel port
card? Is there enough room on the internal 32 meg drive to store
programs or is that all taken up by WinCE? I've heard you still have
to do hard resets which wipe the internal drive- is that true?

Have you rebooted the palmtop with your databases open? Sometimes
that will corrupt them.

It does sound like dead batteries. Try replacing the batteries with a
fresh known good set then doing a ctrl-left shift-on hard reset and
see if that won't bring it back.

2.9v for the backup battery sounds low to me.  I use a different battery
monitor (batt100.com and ABC/LX) which tell me the CR2032 is 2.94v or
2.97v.  Could be that the backup operation drained the mains low enough to
trigger a need for the CR2032 to kick in, although 2.54v is a pretty
healthy voltage (at least for NiMH, it's been ages since I've used
alkalines).

The system obviously had enough juice to processs your backup.  Probably
would be instructive to look over exactly how much disk activity was
entailed to do the backup, and what transpired between its completion and
the time when you discovered the problem.  Any automatic Appt apps?

This looks like a libc problem, that is, your gcc does not find the

I'd like to take a look at the source, if you want to forward it to me.

My second unit's intermal memory board got loose which cause a massive
power drain, main and backup batteries were dead within one week.  It
also sometimes didn't turn on or it crashed.  Opening and fixing the
memory board seems to have solved the problem.  Maybe that's the case
with your unit too.

Hi all,

This is LX related ;-)

I worked out a spreadsheet on my Palmtop that uses the "@Count" feature to
count the number of x's I put in a column. When I port it over to Excel (on
my desktop) for printing, this function doesn't translate.

Is there any equivalent function in Excel?

I guess I could label the columns and use 1's and 0's, to show sort of a
"yes/no" thing and "count" by adding the ones, but that wouldn't look quite
like I want it to.....

TIA for any help.

PS. Trying to use the spreadsheet to track sales calls and "X" columns like
"In Person,"
"Phone," etc. and now type of advertising bought (if any).

More likely that the corrupted file system (directories, chains, etc)
is the cause of the bad databases.

While reboots with open databases have a chance of corrupting a
database, I don't believe it has any effect at the file system level,
ie, it just affects the internal pointers and data areas for a given
database.

Those out there with the knowledge and bucks to test the various
systems/platforms, please continue your effort.  The HPLX has been a great
machine for me, but I worry about lack of support by HP.  My main reason for
not converting has to do with my extensive notetaker files and calc files.
I also have a few dos apps I installed that are of great value to me.
But, I will consider what others say about new systems and check them out.

I'm not a heavy user but I'm a long time PDA user and before I
retired I guess I was a moderate user.

I think it depends on what you want it to do.  If you want to
put emphasis on listening to music or audiobooks on mp3 or if
you want to do multimedia stuff on it, one of the PocketPC
systems would probably be best.  Compaq has just announced a new
64 meg Ipaq.  I think I'd want to look at that.  I'm not
particularly trusting of Compaq but I keep hearing good things
about the Ipaq.  I think I'd also look into the Casseopea 115
and the current HP.

If you want PIM stuff, simplicity and lots of available software
I'd look at the Palm.  I don't think I'd look at their cheap
ones.  They aren't upgradable.  I personally like the color Palm
(3c).  I have one as well as the mono one.  (3x)  The color
doesn't matter that much although it is nice, but the backlight
is great.  It's battery life is much shorter but it's never a
problem for me.

If you want to use it out-of-doors, the mono one is much better.
The color one, like any TFT screen, isn't usable outside in the
sun.

The pim stuff it comes with is good and simple and easy to
learn.  It's very intuitive.  It doesn't have much power.  But a
lot of high quality apps are available to make up for that.

Data entry is clumsy compared to the 200lx but Graffiti, used on
the Palm, is easy to learn.  It takes about 20 minutes to get
pretty functional with it and a week or two to get really
comfortable with it.  I've read that Jot, the PocketPC
handwriting recognition system is less intuitive but just as
good once you've learned it.  They both have their proponents.

You can enter data on the PC if you have a lot of data entry to
do.  It synchs nicely so you just put the palm in the cradle and
push a button on the cradle and it's in the Palm and there's a
backup copy on the PC.  You can also buy portable keyboards.

For software other than the built in software, a lot of it comes
with a PC program that lets you do the same thing and is
controlled by the Palm synching process so there's nothing
special to do to get it on the Palm.  More and more software
comes this way.

I don't know the PocketPC platform that well but I suspect their
software does the same thing.  But there isn't anywhere near as
much of it.

From the Excel help file:

COUNTA
Counts the number of cells that are not empty and the values within the list
of arguments.
Use COUNTA to count the number of cells that contain data in a range or
array.

Syntax

COUNTA(value1,value2, ...)

Value1, value2, ...   are 1 to 30 arguments representing the values you want
to count. In
this case, a value is any type of information, including empty text ("") but
not including
empty cells. If an argument is an array or reference, empty cells within the
array or reference
are ignored. If you do not need to count logical values, text, or error
values, use the COUNT
function.

Examples

In the following example,


COUNTA(A1:A7) equals 6

COUNTA(A4:A7) equals 4

COUNTA(A1:A7, 2) equals 7

COUNTA(A1:A7, "Two") equals 7
==========================end section=======================================
There are also "count", "Dcount", "Dcounta", "Countif", "Countblank",

It's up
It's up
It's up

The little bugger fired up after doing the ctrl-left shift-on hard reset
that
John suggested below. Actually others suggested it too but I think I was
using the right shift. Gotta use the Left shift I guess. Seems the batteries
got to low and the backup battery was week too even though the battery meter
said the backup was OK. Anyway replaced em both.
I do have it backed up on both the PCMCIA card and on a laptop.

Much thanks to all those that e-mailed me with suggestions.
:-)

Man I love this thing................ Was going to buy another if I had
to.....

The compaq units have an excellent display but are plagued by

The portable keyboards are great.  Have targus folding keyboard
for the 545 it works great.

The bottom line is you have to take a big step down in your expectations

when go from the 200lx to anything else.  If the 200lx is a Cadillac the

Jornada and the palm are Tricycles.   If the 200lx is a 747 the Jornada
and
the Palm are planes from the era of the Wright Brothers.

As I keep saying newer is not always better.

A couple of points....there are DOS emulators available.   As far as support
for the 200lx,  your best bet is http://www.thaddeus.com.  You can't go wrong
with them, for $125 flat rate they will fix your 200lx.   Great people,  I would

hightly recommend them.

By the way do NOT, CAUTION, DO NOT, use the ESC-ON test to test any
flashcard cards.  It was solely designed for SRAM cards and can corrupt
flashcards so that you need Fdisk and Format to make them useable again.
All data could be lost.

Sub-warning - it does not affect all flashcards with corruption but most
will be corrupted.

As John said - the Hard Reset and make sure to use LEFT SHIFT.  It is
Ctrl-LEFT Shift-ON, all at the same time.

The 2000 Census results are finally out, and not surprisingly, they show
that Ken is about as wrong as a person can be.  Whites in the United
States make up 75.1% of the population.  See:

I was using the official HP charger and everything had been working fine.
I'll check charging voltage on my spare 1mb 200LX but I have never noticed
anything over 12.xx volts during charging using some old battery management
(Ace Battman) software. I follow the in-200LX charging voltage fairly
carefully in order to to determine the optimum charge. This failure was a
real mystery and it happened in minutes.

You're lucky your overheated LX came back! Mine's still dead...

I've had only one instance of data corruption in the four years I've
had my 32M 2X 200LX (SG708...).  A few months ago I was adding an
appointment and my palmtop froze while I was typing the description.
After a hard reboot, the Appt db was corrupt.  I was unable to fix
it, and ended up reverting to a backup.

I still don't know what caused the problem, but I suspect it was low
batteries.  At the time my NiMH cells were around 2.4, perhaps 2.3 V.
The backup was okay as far as I know, but it was over a year old.

I know the plural of anecdote is not data, but thought another
observation might be of interest.

I saw articles stating that too.  But:

http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/06000.html

says that white persons make up 59.5% of California's population, which
makes whites still a majority in California.  Of course, Hispanic/Latino
persons make up 32.4% of California's population, and since other areas of
the Census Bureau's website seem to indicate that there is some degree of
overlap between the "white" and "Hispanic"  categories in a census, it
could be that a portion (well, at least 9.5%) of the 59.5% figure is
Hispanic, thus making whites a minority.

As for Texas:

http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/48000.html

shows that it reports 71.0% white.  Not even close to California.

(Interestingly, though, the percentage of people of Hispanic origin is
32.0%, proving that there must be overlap between "white" and "Hispanic",
unless Texas has 103% of its population.)

Nobody seems to know where the dust comes from...aledgedly Compaq has a

I would suggest checking past issues of newspapers like the Boston Hearld
which
directly contradicts this figure.

Oh, yes, excellent suggestion.  Let's trust the alleged estimate of a past
issue of some newspaper you read long before the 2000 Census figures
actually came out, rather than the official United States Census Bureau's
figure now that they're done tabulating the real data.  I'll get right on
it.

Unless my math is totally screwed, that still leaves whites in
the majority, unless you lump all non-white ethnic groups
(Hispanic, Chinese, Vietnamese, etc.) into a single category.

I find that reallly, well, _strange_, although I've generally
assumed that the paucity of racial categories is a TV thing (the
average TV set's low resolution putting a limit on the length of
readable lists).  I could, of course, be utterly wrong.  8-)

Oh, you're absolutely right, and Domingo pointed this out right after
Ken's original post on 11 jan 2001.  I just meant "minority" in the sense
Ken used it -- a 50%+ majority is required for a particular group to be
able to, say, vote itself special privileges and whatnot.  But in fact,
even if a group made up only, say, 40% of the population, they'd still be
the largest single racial category, and therefore a majority.

That is the search results page.  The URL for the actual article you got

Just last week I was also searching for something that did FRACTION math
for adding and particularly dividing measurements -

like 1/2 of 17 13/16

Did not find anything I liked.

Thanks Ken for the comment on the dos emulators.  How would I transfer my
notetaker app to them--use the CPack 200 apps?

I'm tried of not being able to use the system manager on my 200lx. I stopped using it because my c: drive got corrupted and I wanted to attempt a reconstruction.

How do I make an identicle copy of my corrupted c: drive so that I might be able to try and recover the data at a later time?

What application should I use?

I have a 2mb palmtop, with maxed out system ram. So c: is about 1.3 MB. Can I use interlnk or llra and copy to a floppy disk on another computer? Or do I need to get a 2MB PCMCIA card?

Thanks,

Craig

Hi friends,

since I'm asked often about serial port pinout of the 95LX I'm planning
to provide that information on my homepage.

Can anyone please give me reliable advice?
It seems to me that we have 2* ground besides TX and RX, is this
correct? Which pins lead which signals? And how is the "official" pin
numbering?

Thanks

Well, the HP48 manual differentiates between the two grounds. One is
signal ground, the other is shield. According to some documentation on
the HP48 serial port I have, Shield is only connected when you use a DB-25
connector, not a DB-9 (which are more common on PCs these days):

The pin definitions for the HP 82208A (IBM) and 82209A (Macintosh) serial
cables for the HP 48 are shown on the next page, including the 25 pin end
of the 9-25 pin adapter.  All signals are labeled from the HP 48's point
of view.

The document I quote ("HP 48 I/O TECHNICAL INTERFACING GUIDE", copyright
Hewlett Packard Company 1990) should be accurate or official even, but it
covers the HP48, not the 95LX. The cables for the 95LX and HP48 can be
interchanged (I've done this myself), but I don't know if ground/shield is
wired the same way.

Use a Sandisk Flash or compact flash card. I do not believe
you can load the driver for the Smart Media because it would
have to be on the system ROM card in order for the Smart Media
card to be recognized as drive C:

I used a current-limiting power supply, but a car battery with ~1ohm
resistor in series would work just as well.  If you can't find a resistor
that size, you could substitute about 100ft of wire.  Either way, I'd put a
15- or 20- amp slo-blo fuse in series as well to protect yourself, and as
always I will disclaim responsibility for any damage you may cause :-)...
The key is (very) short bursts of relatively high current to melt the
crystalline structures that have formed inside the cells over time due to
non-use.

I have bought my self a Cassiopeia E-115. It was $250 at a auction
site. I was not looking to replace my 200lx. I bought it instead of a
mp3 player. and as a bonus I can view movies on the it. It is very nice
to being able to watch films when ever You like. But for that I need a
CF card as a film is about 150MB. It comes with 32M RAM. Anyhow I have
tried it as a replacement for the 200lx (Thanks to Curtis for his
outlook to hp sync program! ) and I must say that it stays a MP3 player
and my hp200lx stays as my main PC.

The PocketPC Cassiopeia is cool but the hp200lx is functional. The
Cassiopeia has a fast cpu , wich lets me play doom and quake :). There
is also a PalmPilot EMULATOR for it - no kidding :-P .But the PocetPC
OS with its GUI slows it down. I find the PocetPC GUI confusing
sometimes. A plus is that You dont have to learn any Grafitti typing as
the PalmPilot has. The Cassiopeia lets You write as You would with a
ordinary pen.

The Cassiopeias web browser is very good. It lets me view https sites as
well a java and frames.
The email client is ok. But www/lx seams to be faster and more
informative on what is going on. (I have only tried it with my Nokia
8210 and it does not disturb the Cassiopeia)

The hp200 calendar is better and lets You have a months overview. On
the Cassiopeia You only see a cube on the date if it has an
appointment.

The cassiopeia batteries wear out fast. I ran a movieclip for
continous use without a cf card. The fresh batteries ran out in 90min.
They last longer if I use the Cassiopeia as I use the hp200lx.
To be able to watch films I have made a batterypack with 4 NiCd that I
connect externaly.

I think that a PalmPilot is a good choice as it is becoming a "standard"
for handhelds. And it is very small. The Cassiopeia is not as big as
the hp200lx, but almost.

But I am going to keep my hp200lx.

I use handhelds as adjuncts to the big iron, which in my case is Omnibook
subnotebooks. I'm not going to try to keep 10 GB of data on a hand-held, or
do serious work with maps or graphics on one. I use a PDA (starting back
with an HP-41 I wrote my own apps for) to supplement the other computer, and
provide quick access to the critical stuff. I'm not going to try to run a
business from my back pocket.

Like everyone else has said - it depends on what you want it for. Everything
I do on a 200 I can also do on a Pocket PC (contacts, appointemnts, word
processing, spreadsheets, database, e-books, games). The PPC also gives me
MS Money (Quicken for Windows is a loser. The Mac "Gotta use a mouse for
everything" influence shows), mapping programs (Streets & Trips, Street
Atlas, Topo USA, etc.), colour picture viewing, and audio. If I need it I
can get a terminal emulation program, networking support is built in out of
the box - just add NIC, there's a web browser (for frames, you need to move
to the HPC), the stylus entry allows free-form drawing, the SDK (including
VB and VC++) is a free download from Microsoft. It *really* fits in an
ordinary pocket with room for a pen or two or some keys unlike the 200. The
screen's backlit with 4 preset, customizable settings so I can read it in
lighting conditions the 200 doesn't work in. It's also a better shape for
walking around using than a LX. It uses standard CF memory, so data exchange
with the 200 isn't a big deal if you can't or won't go cold turkey.

For widespread availability of a variety of applications, you'd want to look
at the Palm family (Palm, Handspring, TRG, Sony for those who like
proprietary and copy-protection). Their usable screen area is smaller, since
they generally have a dedicated pen-entry area. Agenda has a Linux-based
unit, which can even run X windows sessions. The end-user software's just
coming out for it now, but . . .

 Moving to units with keyboards, there are the HPCs, which have more
typeable keyboards than the 200, although no numeric keypad, and a web
browser that supports frames. Otherwise they have the same capabilities as
the PPCs in a bigger package. There's also the Psion, about which I freely
admit knowing only that there's a bunch of stuff for it, and that one
version or another has been around forever (like the LX family).

If you want to get an idea about the PPCs and HPCs running WinCE, pull down
the WinCE SDK, which includes emulators for your desktop.

There were only problems concerning memory allocation / freeing. Nothing
more. And these errors seemed to have several side effects.

Grzegorz from Poland helped me to solve my problems and thus taught me
a few very important things in C. :-) Thank you!

The program pdb2adr will be finished soon, and I'll announce it here
and publish it on my web site in a few days.

Thanks so much

Did you check out fif.zip on simtel.net? It works with fractions but

Hi Bud,

The battery is a special Litium Ion. It is supposed to last 8 hours, but I haven't had it long enough to give it a real 8 hour workout. I got two batteries with my unit(bought it on ebay) and a charger so I'm being real conservative. BTW, the built in modem doesn't seem to drain the battery at all. When I get back home I'll have to experiment with that too.

My quickbasic programs run perfectlly except for the graphics mode on my stock market program.  I have yet to experiment with the different graphics modes, so I don't know if it's me or the machine.

Mike...

My internal modem died due to static discharge (touched the
computer while it was connected only to the modem line, that
was enough to kill the internal modem.) Since then (after
fix under warranty by HP) I'm a bit paranoid and use a
PSION IRDA modem...

While I wish there was more software (in particular I wish
there was a good photo editing program that could handle very
large image files 3-4 mbytes without crashing) it is a handy
machine,

I think you mean (17+(13/16))/2.  As for turning the decimal result into a
fraction, if it's a non-repeating decimal you can just place the decimal
part over 1 followed by as many zeros as there are digits.  For instance,
.2456 is 2456/10000.  .1020=1020/10000, or 102/1000.  However, when it
comes to repeating decimals, it's a little trickier.  You need to subtract
the non-repeating part from the whole thing, where the repeating number is
treated as one number.  For instance, .235666666666666..., you take 2356,
and subtract off 235.  2356-235 = 2121.  Then, you place that number over
as many 9's as there are repeating digits, followed by as many zeros as
there are non-repeating digits.  In this case, there is 1 repeating digit
(6), and 3 non-repeating digits (235), so the fraction would be 2121/9000.

Sounds complicated at first, but it's pretty easy once you get used to it.
As for having a program do this for you, you'd have to somehow have it
recognize when a number is repeating.  If I were going to write a program
to add fractions, I'd just have it find the least common denominator and
add them that way, and then feed that into a fraction simplifying routine,
which searches for common divisors of the numerator and denominator.  For
this routine, you could loop from 2 to the square root of the minimum of
the numerator and denominator, starting the loop over each time you find
a number that divides both of them into whole number parts.

For those of you wanting a program to do any of these things, I could
probably write one for you in QBASIC, if you'd like.  Or a .EXM, if I get
ambitious enough.

That's not correct.

You can sqeeze 14.400 kbps out of one single GSM channel (=time slot).
HSCSD uses more than one time slot at once to transmit data, thus the
bitrate of 14.400 of 9600 for one time slot is multiplied by the number
of time slots you use (up to 4, AFAIK).

I don't know why data communication was set to 9600 first, although
14.400 are possible with plain GSM. Probably because of some protocol
overhead for error protection which can be left away, but I
don't know for sure.

There is a Palm emulator for CE? where is it?

Right now I run J under CE, K under linux , and APL under dos
emulation on my IPAQ, and am trying to get Andreas's'' PIM app to run under
the dos emulator. Vindigo is the one thing that is missing from the CE world
vindigo is palm only.

There are times when i need a numeric keypad, however, and i still like the
200lx form factor. The Jornada's are bigger than a 200lx, and have no
numeric keypad. I could run everything i need on a "morphy one", but that is
looking more and more like a unicorn a nice idea that does not exist

Does anyone have experience using a 1st gen Zip 250 USB with the PCMCIA
adapter connected to a 200LX? I know it would be a battery hog if would
work so I would plan on using supplemental power. Iomega 2nd gen Zip 250
USB drives are USB powered so they eliminated the PCMCIA port on the drive.
If this would work it would be a cheap and fast alternative to the parallel

9V does not work with every palmtop. I accidentally switched a
regulated AC adapter to 9V and connected it to the palmto pand wondered
why the palmtop didn't switch on.

Anyone have any experience using one of these?
I picked one up off eBay and can't get it to work on my 200.  I just get the
"drive not ready" error.  I followed instructions from an old PTP that said
to open filer and press "remote" and then wait for it to time out.  Then I
should be able to go to the drive letter and see files.  But, of course, I
can't.  The drive95.sys does initialize and map a drive letter when the unit
is attached at bootup.  I've tried single & double speed 200's wondering if
that were the problem.
Any Hints?  Or, did I just buy a dead drive?
Thanks to the learned many,

Hi friends,

I'm just updating my home page. The upload will be finished in about 30
minutes (10.15pm MST).

http://www.daniel-hertrich.de

It has been moved to another ISP, so I now have
enough space to put all the pictures directly besides the HTMLs - no
problems anymore with loading the pictures in my HTMLs, as often
occured in the past.

I also modified the structure slightly, so if you have bookmarks,
please make sure they are up-to-date.

But the most important updates are information updates, especially on
the pages about connecting the HPLX to the internet via mobile phone
(Bluetooth, GPRS and UMTS updates, and a few minor changes),
on the EMI page and on the REX-3 synchronization page I've added
current / removed old information.

Other updates:

* The serial port info page is updated (95LX port info added).

I use Lxbackup and zip up the cdrive every day to a flashcard.

When I want to do a full recover I boot with Ctrl+Left shift+On. Then I
reinitialize the disc and boot to the card.

On the card I have what I need. Pkunzip and Volkon commander.

I unzip the latest archive and then use Volkon commander to move the
dirs to the Cdrive. I am up and running again in about 10 minutes.

Well what I do does not work unless you have a memorycard.

THANKS!!!!! larry!!!!!!!!! (g)

Decimals with bad manners, huh! (G)  You've been to parent/teacher week
recently haven't you? (G)

Actually, when I read my message back to John just now, I thought - if I
just used metric rules/tapes, I would not have this problem.  I'd just
find the metric value, find that about 45 centimeters and divide that.

If you have used the HP at all, you still might have altered files or at
least the FAT (file allocation table) on the c: drive.

In any event, I believe version 4.5 of Norton Disk Doctor could copy
from a beginning sector to an ending sector of the user's choice and
save it all to a file and then that file could be used to restore back.

I have not done anything like it in ages.  So you'd need a disk which
was large enough to hold your corrupted c:

Good luck.

Hi friends,

here is the first version of PDB2ADR which lets you export your phone
book data to Post/LX.

Email entries and mobile phone number entries are converted to the
format of the Post/LX address book file "post.adr".

I know this version still has one bug: You cannot let it convert the
content  of the last filed of a data base (more accurate: The last
column in the CDF file you first create with GDBIO).

But this will be changed in the next version. I think this version
should work for most of you.

See
http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/pdb2adr
for more info.

I supposed the difference is being regulated, which really puts out 9V.
Whereas an unregulated 9V puts out nearly 12V.  Even under the
load of charging the batteries, it does not fall much.  At least I have
been using 9V adapter (and sometimes opposite polarity; of course
it does not work (and not destroyed)) for years without any problem.

Alfred

Greetings from sunny South Africa :-)

I use a Drive95 on my 95LX and the only errors encountered would seem to be
related to the power supply  when low voltage condition exists.  Are you
running the drive AND 200LX on an AC adaptor?  What is the status of the
tri-colour (English spelling <grin>) LED? i.e. is there any data exchange?
Another query I would have is the connecting cable / interface as there is a
difference between the 95 and 100/200 serial ports (or so I have been led to
believe...).

Hope the above is of some value.

All the best

After Palm emulators for CE seem to appear, let me point you
to a DOS emulator for the Palm. It is written by famous
Harry Konstas, the author of PALRUN and coauthor of PAL.
It looks like he switched to the TRGpro and continues his
outstanding work there:

http://www.total.net/~hkonstas/trgdos.html

TRGdos 1.3
----------
-DOS environment for TRGpro handhelds.
-Limited DOS operations on other Palm handhelds.
-Freeware

Introduction:
-------------
TRGdos is the first and only, true DOS environment for TRGPro
handheld computers. TRGdos is very similar to the good old
COMMAND.COM. It's not only used for CF file operations, it's
a DOS environment were TRGdos applications and batch files can
be launched.

Before you get people's hopes up, it might be worth mentioning that this
is better described as a _simulator_ (I don't believe that Konstas calls
it an emulator either). It gives the user a DOS-like environment on the
Palm and provides a (growing, I assume) standard library for C programmers
that wish to make console-based applications for the Palm. It does not run
MS-DOS applications, nor does it even emulate an Intel CPU.

Daniel, I really want to thank you for the support you give to
the HP users. I still remember your first steps on the Palmtop
some years ago and now you are one the few specialists.

Your homepage should be bookmarked by every Palmtop user.
Too many valuable information there. And indeed your
palmtop-mobile page is getting more important every day.

If your professional career has the same quality and speed,
you will doubtlessly reach a very high level, which I wish you
indeed.

You'd have better luck getting a SCSI-based drive running. Iomega only
offers drivers for the USB/PCMCIA adapter for Win9x/2000. and NT4. The
adapter's really an ATAPI adapter (ports specified for the drive are USB and
ATAPI), so you'd need to find DOS drivers for that. Other companies *do*
claim their PCMCIA-ATAPI adapters are DOS compatible, but who knows whether
they need '386 support as well, or if they'd work on Iomega's adapter.

I have been using "Mortice Kern Systems" tools which includes

the k-shell is actually just a glorified command.com and is
a 16-bit "dos box" environment... Perhaps it would work in a
DOS environment or they have version for same. www.mks.com I believe.

As already mentioned, there is the MKS toolkit, older versions of which
work great on the LX. However, I doubt the current Windows version will
work on the LX. Alternatively, there is a freeware implementation of the
Korn Shell available. It takes a while to setup, but it works very well
(if perhaps a bit on the slow side, due to swapping if you don't have EMS)
on the LX and is highly configurable:

ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/unix/ms_sh23b.zip (800kb)

The large file size is due to the fact that the ZIP file includes binaries
for several platforms, including 16 and 32 bit DOS and OS/2.

Keep in mind that you will also need external utilities (eg ls, cp, mv,
etc.) for it to be really useful. For that I suggest you either check out
the unix directory on "Garbo" (referenced above) or the Gnuish section of
Simtel:

ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/gnuish/

Fascinating - absolutely fascinating.  I did not learn anything like

I agree with your comment, but found it funny that you included in your
quote the part of his instructions that were the plainly obvious ones.
Writing .145 as 145/1000 is the very definition of decimal notation,

And you didn't quote the section that described the fascination
technique, the one that explains repeating fractions.  I am going to
sit down tonight and analyze what's going on.  Pretty neat!

Reminds me of the techniques I dug up in the manual for my pocket
"mechanical" computer (a Curta Type II) on extracting square roots.

I have a clever little (3k) 123 spreadsheet someone in this group gave me
once.

You enter a decimal number and it computes 5 different fractions, each with
increasing accuracy.  So for example, entering "3.14" shows (for the first
two fractions): 22/7 (accuracy 0.002847..) and 157/50 (balls on).

Making it more challenging, entering "3.1415926536" gets the fraction 22/7
again (for the low end accuracy), and 104348/33215 for an accuracy of
0.0000000003).

Let me know if anyone wants a copy.  I think it was never posted to SUPER
because there's not a specific place for spreadsheets and it was so small
(but oooooh so useful on the LX).  But if there's a place for it now in
SUPER, I'll post it there.  I'd give credit to the author, but I can't
recall his name (sorry, if you're still on the list).

I certainly seems to be more of a 'simulator' than Stefan's palm 'simulator'
running on the 200lx ;> . I've often wondered if it were possible to write
a Dos or intel emulator on the palm platform. That's one positive thing you
can say about the WinCE devices. They have enough horsepower to emulate an
80186 and run any OS you want that will run on that chip. (XT-CE). I thought
that palms really lacked the horsepower to make it happen but it looks like
Harry achieved the next best thing in creating an environment and an API.

Before you get people's hopes up, it might be worth mentioning that this
is better described as a _simulator_ (I don't believe that Konstas calls
it an emulator either). It gives the user a DOS-like environment on the
Palm and provides a (growing, I assume) standard library for C programmers
that wish to make console-based applications for the Palm. It does not run
MS-DOS applications, nor does it even emulate an Intel CPU.

Yes, I also remember my first steps. I exactly remember how I drove
home from the store where I bought the 200LX in 1997, put the package
onto the table in front of me and opened it...... 8-)

Since then it is the most important machine which I use - besides my
insuline pump, of course ;-)

And I strongly hope that my efforts will keep the 200LX and its
community a little bit longer alive...

..and I remember your nephew visiting me about 1.5 years ago with his
100LX to buy my used flash card. How is he doing now? Is he also such
an enthusiastic user of the LX as we are?

Thanks for the nice words and thanks of course for your cooperation
regarding PDU and all your other tools. Without them, the palmtop would
have only half the value it has now.

Regarding my career, yes, I try hard to be as good as possible. And I
have to decide every minute if I program something for the palmtop or
if I rather have to learn something for my job or studies. I try to
combine that in a way that every side profits by the other. And since
my studies go directly in the direction mobile internet and
communications in general, I will be able to care about that topic
also for the palmtop community a lot.

Thanks
daniel

Hi friends,

on my home oage I report about PaCi (Palmtop Circuit), which is a
software to fraw and analyze electronic circuits on the palmtop.

On the page and in answers to questions I got in the past years, I
referred all of you to www.designsoft.com as the web age of the company
DesignSoft who made PaCi.

THIS WAS WRONG!!!

I finally found the correct page and now I want to let you all know the
correct URL to DesignSoft. It's

http://www.designsoftware.com

They still mention PaCi on their web site, but there is no option to
order it anymore (at least I couldn't find one).
If you are interested, please ask the responsible persons Mihaly Koltai
or Tibor Horvath.

Maybe Tamas Feher (member of this list) is also able to give advice
here. He managed the contact between some of us who were interested and
DesignSoft some years ago.

I also apdated the links on my home page.

Hi friends,

I just added a whole bunch of new contact data to my phone book and then
tried to use my PDB2ADR to create a post.adr from it.
But it failed. :-(((

It seems that still something with memory allocation / freeing is still
wrong in the source code. On the palmtop PDB2ADR simply stops before it
has converted the whole file (but doesn't freeze the system anymore,
like it did before), and on my linux machine I get a segmentation
fault ("Speicherzugriffsfehler" - is this a segmentation fault?).

I would greatly appreciate if someone could have a look into the source
again (Grzegorz - do you volunteer once more? ;-) ). I looked and
looked and didn't find anything which could cause that error.

The program with source can be downloaded at

Thanks a lot

Thanks,  Jon, I see your point on the Win-based drivers and ATAPI interface
issue. I have an Adaptec 1460 SCSI card and a SCSI Zip drive. I'll pursue
that approach and let you know how it turns out.

I have couple of backup LXs; they have batteries in them but
I've also kept them on the AC supply.  To do my part during
California's power crisis I'm trying to shut down everything
that doesn't need to be on; example is the AC supply for those
backup LXs.

With only alkaline batteries in them, but remaining Off, how
long will the batteries last?  I guess I could also stop SysMgr
to keep it from looking for appointments.  Also, there won't be
any pcmcia cards in them.

Any estimates on battery life?

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Greetings to all from sunny South Africa :-)

My question has been asked before but circumstances are now very different
(as so far unable to find a replacement 95) so before making a move or
extending my search for a 95 thought the views of fellow enthusiast could be
of value...

I have been using my HP95LX for more than 6 years and regard it as a
mainstay of my computing needs (I am a self employed). Sure I use a desk
machine but my 95 is a much used tool that I would seriously miss. My
current concern relates to upgrading as last time I made inquires (and posed
a similar question) there seemed to be a number of 95 available but alas I
have not located any and I am sure that one day my 95 will be beyond repair
and a replacement will in all probability be a 100/200.  I have resisted
changing to the 100/200 so far as with my eyesight (I'm in the THAT age
group!) the higher resolution and graphics display of the 100/200 is of no
real benefit i.e. 40 column text mode is just fine. The applications I run
are
all registered / paid for and would require further expense if I move to
100/200 i.e. Buddy. My data exchange program (ZIP NOT PKZIP) works 100%
with my desk PC as does Cheque-In (v1.5), ACT! and NOTEPAD (frequently used
add on applications). I have a Drive95 and a 2400 Palm Modem although both
are seldom used but I suspect that neither would be compatible (did Bob
Penick problems get resolved I wonder?) with the 100/200.  I use a couple of
128K (F1002A) ram cards for additional storage (main unit is 1 Mb) and have
no real need for a large portable database. So, what arguments can be
offered for moving to the 100/200 OR for staying with the 95?

Looking forward to some informative answers!

All the best and thanks in advance.

Bob,

Long ago I had a Drive 95 that I used on a 5 meg 100LX DS.
There were some tricks in getting it to work.  This is a
little foggy but it might help.

If you can get it to map a drive letter on boot up then go
to Filer and ESC to the drive letters.  Look for drive F or
G (the last drive shown).  With floppy in drive try to read
that drive (F or G).  Hopefully this will cause the drive to
start and read the floppy.  Then do a split screen and you
should be able to transfer files to C: or A:    =Bob=

PS  Have both connected to AC while trying this.

Hello!

I'll be shopping at a computer flea market tomorrow (in St. Paul,
MN, USA) in hopes of finding a good deal on an older win ce device.
I want to experiment with xt-ce and pocket dos. I haven't done my
homework yet so any suggestions and warnings for an older but not
too old device would be appreciated, especially a suggested price
range. This list has always amazed me with it's depth of knowledge
and diverse computing platforms supported, all with the common
thread of the mighty 200lx. Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Tom Salwasser

Have you looked on eBay for a used 95LX? You could get 4 or 5 of them at
current prices for the cost of one 200LX. This cost factor, as well as your
current familiarity with the 95LX and your software, seem to me to be the
biggest reasons to stay with the 95LX.

I have a 95LX, but it seems to me that the 200LX has three main advantages:
(1) full CGA compatability; (2) newer PCMCIA slot, allowing use of PC card
modems and Network cards, as well as flash and CF cards without the driver;
and (3) the ability to get email and web browse, using software such as
WWW/LX or Going Postal. I do not think I would go to the 100LX. If you are
going to change, might as well go all the way. The 200LX can also hot sync
PC cards, while the 100LX can't.

As to the issue of screen character size, my personal feeling is that having
more than 80 columns would be a definite advantage (I use WordPerfect and do
some C programming). I am 50 and use bifocals, so I like the look of the
95's characters. I prefer them to the characters on the wider 80 column
screen of a Poqet PQ181 that I also have. I understand, however, that the
200LX allows you to "zoom" up to 40x16, so character size might not be a big
issue.

Another issue might be battery life. Perhaps other people can comment on
this.

Regards,
Bob Feldman

Greetings to all from sunny South Africa :-)

<snip>
there seemed to be a number of 95 available but alas I
have not located any and I am sure that one day my 95 will be beyond repair
and a replacement will in all probability be a 100/200.  I have resisted
changing to the 100/200 so far as with my eyesight (I'm in the THAT age
group!)
<snip>

So, what arguments can be
offered for moving to the 100/200 OR for staying with the 95?

Looking forward to some informative answers!

All the best and thanks in advance.

I have never found one for any platform.   My wife is diabetic

If you receive this message, it will proove that you can make cellular
phone calls _between_ the "Gare de Lyon" and "Chatelet" stations of the=

ultra-modern (all automatic) number 14 subway line. The tunnel is
something like 30ft deep under the surface, but it seems that they
managed phone relays all the way...

Don't even thought it was possible two hours ago... :-)

The MBTA in Massachussetts is doing the same thing to provide
cell phone accesss.   Maybe the theory is that if people are talking on
their phone they won't be screeming about train delays.

Thanks Colin,
I've loaded DRIVE95.SYS that came with the drive.  It recognizes that there
is a drive on the cable and reserves a drive letter but I just get the"drive
not ready" error when I try to read from a diskette.  If there is a
different driver needed for the 200 to read the drive, does anyone out there
have a copy?  I've tried going to the old Sparcom website but it's gone now
and the phone has been disconnected.
Thanks,

Thanks Nigel,
I was running both devices on their respective AC adaptors.  I'm using a
standard HP100/200 cable like I would use to connect to a PC.  (Do I need to
null modem in line with that cable maybe?)  As for color of the light, I'm
colorblind and will have to ask someone to watch and tell me which color is
displaying and when.

And that reminds me of a time back in Jr. High when a friend's dad, who
was a former math teacher, taught us how to figure out square roots by
hand.  It was a method I would never have thought of, that doesn't use
guess-and-check, but rather will find the exact square root if you
continue doing it ad infinitum.  If I can remember how to do it, that
might be a fun program to write, though kinda useless since even the HP
Calc can do square roots by taking a number to the power of 1/2.  But I do
wonder if it was the method used to originally make out square root
tables.

Try to save the sheet in Excel but tell it to SAVE AS WK1.
Then bring it over to the Palmtop and try it.

Does anyone know a simple circuit that can be used to change 9 Volt DC to
12 volts? I know I have seen schematics for DC/DC converter circuits but
can't seem to find one now. Thanks for any help!

I actually remember when you got it and raved about it.  When some of
the rest of us decided to jump, HP had put some lame limit on which
dealers could sell to which areas of the country and wound up cancelling
a bunch of our orders!!!!!!!!  Then there was the serial cable problem -
none were available for a while so no one could do backups!!!!!!

Just a thought - what size disk does it use?  If 3.5 might it still be
limited to the older smaller non-double (high??) density???

Nice seeing a MUP again.  They don't come very often anymore.  I found
mine the other day written on my first flight on a small private plane.
It was fun re-reading it.

As Larry said, the improved PIMS are a big plus.  Buddy would need to be
upgraded - but maybe Jeff would offer a special deal these days - he
probably is not selling many new licenses.  Zip works on the 100/200 and
the others program will also, although probably in what some of us
recognize as this reduced image on the 100/200.  95 programs kind of run
in a 1/4 of the screen but many can be zoomed back up.  The 100/200 fully
support 95 graphics and most programs.

i am dividing 2 into 1 before using that to divide into the answer from the

are correct about the typo) the 17 than divide 2 into 1 than divide that in

Found this looking for something else.
Is this worth getting? The price seems good.
I'm in the habit of transferring all my data to the desktop and
running the CPACK PIM applications there. Backing up instead of
synching.
Does this program work reliably?
Is it simple to set up?

Thanks.

Greetings,

I have just purchased mine from www.egghead.com.
I ordered Sunday night and received Tuesday morning (Southern
California, USA).  I paid $71.99 for 64 MBytes Sandisk CF, $8.19
for the adapter, $6.95 for shipping (for any number of items), and
6.41 for tax:(  I thought these are good prices.

Best Regards,
Alfred

I do know what a MUP _is_, so I can say this is no MUP, since I write
it at home sitting at my desk.
But what does the abbreviation MUP exactly mean?

Airport monorails are, I think, driverless - at least at the Newark Airport
in New Jersey, IIRC.

At least once, in NYC, there was an accident on the subway because the
driver had "altered their reality" with booze/drugs...

Glad it pleased to you :-)

As my HP200+GSM setup is now fully focntionnal, I think I can promise
you some _very weird_ places or very hot situations to post messages...=

(hint for French reading people : search form my name on the
france.indymedia.org site. You should find messages or references

I received this note from an HP 200LX user.  Martin, I am posting your
question on the HP 200LX mail list (you can sign up at ** HPLX-L LIST Info

I'll see if anyone has tested the card.

Hi Hal;

   Say, I was wandering around your site and palmtop.net reminiscing over
how my handspring just ain't the same as my 200 and how I'm going to
resurrect it here coming up pretty quick, and I came across some info on
your site about ethernet cards available for the 200.  Then I went searching

for low power ethernet cards and found this one:

3com's 3CCE589EC

http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.asp?EDC=139933

   I put the CDW link in because, on that page, they claim a skimpy 26 ma
draw from the card.  So I was wondering if you know anyone who's made this
card work in their 200.

   Anyway, good to be back with my 200.

   Kind regards,

   Martin Crundall

Would they have forgotten whether they had a palm or not?  Were they
deliberately trying to forget?  Maybe a better question would have
been to ask about the date of the next playoff game.

3Com also makes a Type II CF+ network card, the 3C1, that uses only 13mA.
It's made for WinCE systems. Does anyone know if it would work in the HP, or
does it require Windows CPU support, like a Winmodem? I found reference to
it and specs at
http://www.3com.es/products/datasheets/tarjetas_megahertz.pdf.

A few months back, there was a message about a place to buy refurbished
Accton ethernet cards.  At that time, I purchase two of them as spares.
Recently, a co-worker was interested in getting some of these, un-related
to palmtopping.  I looked, and cannot figure out where this place was.
I remember it was an online purchase, but that's about all.

Can anyone remember the place which had these for sale, or recommend
another place?

I don't know about that train but certainly there are many airports in the
usa that use automated trams, I recall being in atlanta airport and watching
the tram stop the doors didn't open (people on the tram of course) and it
left again, ten seconds later the repair guys came running down the hall
after it. I was rolling on the ground laughing

I moved from the 95 to the 100.  I still have both of my 95's
and I still use them, although it's more for playing now, since
I'm retired.

There is a Buddy for the 100 but the 100 already has quite a few
of the improvements that you get from Buddy95.  Not nearly all
and maybe not the ones you like.  But I'm sure that HP got a lot
of their ideas from Buddy.

You can still use the 100lx in 40 column mode.  It's not quite
as readible as the 95lx but almost.  There isn't a lot of
difference and you can change fonts to improve it and possibly
make it better than the 95lx.  It still has the 95lx graphics
mode for compatibily reasons, although that doesn't use the
whole screen.  Still, most of the 95lx programs were text mode
so that's not much problem.

I don't remember anything I used in the 95lx that I couldn't
move to the 100lx.  But it's been a long time and I might have
forgotten something.  I wasn't a Buddy user on either computers.
I tried it out but I found it too confusing.

The 95 does have a more sensible keyboard arrangement.  I don't
really know why they made some of the changes they did in the
100.  After all these years I'm still griping about the 100/200
keyboard.  Maybe because I still use the 95.

The built-in apps on the 100 are a lot more powerful.  They're
disk based so you don't lose everything if you forget to save.
The 100 is quite a lot more stable than the 95.  It doesn't
crash as much and you don't lose much when it does crash.

I no longer need either machine.  I keep them and use them as
toys.  And as toys, the 95lx is the better machine.  If I could
only keep one I'm not sure what I'd do but the 95lx would get
serious consideration.

One "problem" you'll run into is that you can run so many more
things on the 100 that you might find  yourself needing a larger
card.  I went from a 2 meg sram to a 10 meg flash.  On the 95 2
meg was more than enough.  I got by happily for a long time with
a 512k card.  On the 100 10 meg wasn't enough.

Zip works fine on the 100/200lx.  I don't use it much since I
got a card reader on my PC but I did use it for a long time with
no problems.  I've never used ACT! so I can't comment on that.
If Notepad is the replacement for the internal notepad that I
remember, it should run on the 100lx, although I'm not really
sure.  The 100lx notepad is a significant improvement over the
95lx so you might find that adequate now.

What arguments are there for moving?  The 100lx is more powerful
and easier to use and more compatible so there's a world of
software you can use with it.  But if you don't care about any
of that I think the 95lx is the more elegant design.

I guess the biggest argument for the 100lx is that the batteries
last about twice as long.  Or maybe more.

Like many HPHAND participants, she has cut back dramatically.  Only an
occasional word.

I "spoke" with her just a few weeks ago about web page publishing.

As Ted said a message written (and sometimes sent) from a M-ost U-nusual
P-lace.

It originated on HPHAND on CIS.  We had all kinds of I believe Linda
Worthington published a poem-compilation of a number of them in the
Palmtop Paper.  They were written from an airforce jet, eifel tower,
africa, Ireland, submarine, ferry boats, and I wrote one from Boot Hill
Cemetery in Tombstone Arizona just a year or two ago.

At one time, small portable computers were rarer than they are now and
so that using these things and writing messages in all kinds of unusual
places was MOST UNusual.

I still have one data cable for sale which connects the palmtop with a

For detailled specifications of that cable see

Larry,

You are still not out of the wood :)) If you divide two into one you get 0.5,
and if you divide the left-hand side by 0.5 you get 35.625, not 8.9063 which is
correct.

It was http://www.gocomputershop.com

I bought two Accton from him and paid with Paypal in advance. No
problem. Cards worked out of the box in my Hplx. I have not checked the
versionnumber on the cards. One listmember asked me this in private
mail, but I have not gotten around to check it yet sorry..

Yes. At this time the fun was to _write_ messages on MUPs. Even if you

Yes. All is automatic. But it seems that it is well conceived as I never
heard about any accident during the two years the line is open.
And even if they have removed the driver, this line is the one which
have the greatest numbers of agents on quays and trains. And there is
of course a great numbers of video cameras. Even inside the trains !

Yes. But a driver costs money, asks always for more money, and sometimes,
can strikes (as the next few days, BTW). And guess which line is never
closed when there is a strike ? <g>=20

And in France, there are several cities which have automatic subways :
Lyon, Lille if I remember... And that several years before Paris...

For this kind of circuits (axpensive and hard to find in stores), you
can allways go on the integrated circuits makers sites
(http://www.maxim-ic.com, for example), select your component and ask
for a free sample for evaluation.=20
I can confirm you that Maxim send free samples. Even to France ! :-)

Maybe it has something to do with the Palm.  I believe, among my
family and friends, I'm known as someone that remembers
everyone's birthday (mainly because my LX reminds me in time to
send a greeting or call).

I also don't have a wife to forget about.

My favorite feature on the 200lx is the ability to do a text search, such as a
hidden phone number or password, from the filer screen. Then hit Enter and see
the file!   Also, my 95 locked up a whole lot more than my 200lx

Well, the instruction booklet mentions being able to use 1.44 and 720
formats (but will not use 360 on a 3.5 diskette).  Thanks for trying but I
don't think we've hit on the problem yet.  I may have just picked up a
loser.  It looks brand new in the box with all the bits so I was hoping.
I can look into the case through an access hole and the internal drive looks
like a standard 3.5 floppy drive.  If I could only figure out how to open
the case I'd try and replace the drive unit with a known good one.
Thanks again,
bob

Here is part 1 (or 2) the Ode from 1995 written by Linda
Worthington - published in Palmtop Paper: (The names
mentionedn not mentioned, are part of the history of the
200LX)

Ode to the Palmtoppers

Give me a moment, I'll tell you a tale
Of  the Palmtoppers' travels, relayed by E-mail;
By plane, train and subway, by balloon and by cars
They sink to the depths and they shoot for the stars,

While some, more conservative, write from a chair,
But being Palmtoppers, you never know where!
Since they all were so willing to be in my file
Of Unusual Places, let's read for a while:

Avi goes walking in sunshine and rain
To exercise legs and both sides of his brain;
He reads and he writes as he walks through the night;
He never has fallen, but I think he might!

One morning he wrote me from his Barber's chair,
A note to say someone was cutting his hair;
He also informed me, by postscript, quite soon,
That he once sent a note from a hot-air balloon;

I did not see that with my very own eyes,
But if it were Fred, it would be no surprise,
For he often has written from Mountains, and I
Do believe that he was on both Granite and Si.

I also suspect, since he says he was there,
That he really did breath in Mt. Dickerson's air;
From a park on the waterfront came a nice note,
And from Tom Robbins country, and one Ferry Boat!

One day, from above, in the far Friendly Skies
Came a message from Gary, who after some tries,
Had connected to CompuServe on an Airfone
And so far that honor is his, all alone.

Speaking of honors, we have to count Gilles
As a winner for numbers of Palmtopping miles:
He has traveled both coasts in our country you see,
And his messages come both by land and by sea:

From a Whale watching Boat near Vancouver, West Coast
And from Prince Edward's Light, on the "other", Best Coast!
He travels so fast and he travels so far
That I think he has seats on his own shooting star!

Now Gilles is back home, and I'm sure he'll stay busy;
But Andreas must be Clark Kent; why else is he
Out there in a phone booth? And what's this we see?...
The booth's on a mountaintop, in  Italy!

But if he's Clark Kent, he is Superman, too;
Just look at this message! He swears it is true
That he practiced telepathy, for, as he said,
It came straight to us from the "top of my head"!

From Italy, also, Jeff sent us a word
From a Ferry Boat, (possibly carried by bird);
I hear that another boat held Tony, too,
I heard it from Daniel; I'm sure it is true.

To my horror I see that while Dara is driving
He reads and he writes, and though he's still surviving,
I think that he'd better beware of such mail,
Lest we next get a note from a Florida jail!

Now we look to the distance, where Daniel resides:
In France, in a fine ancient cottage he hides,
But he writes to his friends, the whole bunch of us,
From there, and from Paris, one time, on a Bus!

Now away to New Jersey, lets visit with Stan
If you want true variety, he is your man!
I heard from the deck of a New York bound Ferry,
On the way to a Roundtable; nervous? Yes, very!

Part 2 of 2


Ode to the Palmtoppers


Now away to New Jersey, lets visit with Stan
If you want true variety, he is your man!
I heard from the deck of a New York bound Ferry,
On the way to a Roundtable; nervous? Yes, very!

The next little bon mot was sent from the table
At Expo; I do not know how he was able
To write while he answered those questions, and told
All the folks how LX's are better than gold!

If you thought that was clever, just wait, there is more:
He writes from the beach on the New Jersey shore,
And to prove my main point, that this fellow's a wag,
He is writing, he says, through a small plastic bag!

He claims that his kids like to bury him deep
In the sand, where he peacefully falls off to sleep,
But my favorite of all  is way that he tries,
With the kids, to catch bottles of bright fireflies!

He also has mailed us a message from Trevose,
Which he says is in Penna, but who knows if he knows?
To tell you the truth, if he wrote us from Boise,
It'd be less exotic than notes from New Joise!

Now here is the Palmtoppers' own Underground,
Where two of our friends, Steve and Tim, can be found;
Steve is in Manhattan, commuting, says he;
And Tim is in Hong Kong, and writing to me!

"From the air over Russia": this must be a fad,
For two different notes from a plane I have had:
One written by Karim, the other from Drew,
Both mailed from the ground, but I think they will do!

And here is a wonderful bit of good news:
The new little daughter at Susan and Drew's;
From China, she flew to her new Denver home
No doubt she'll send E-mail when she starts to roam!

In case you have wondered who's writing this poem,
I'm Linda; I'm sending  this from our log home
In the mountains of Maryland. This has been fun!
I want to say thanks now to you, every one.

If you find any errors, just blame them on my sense
Of  freedom, expressed with a Poetic License;
If this does not please you, that's fine and O.K.,
Just write your own poem and send it our way!

And if  you need proof  that these notes do exist,
Just drop me a line and I'll mail you my list;
If you send me some more, I will add them next time:
Just be sure that you want to appear in a rhyme!


Linda Worthington
10/11/95

        Hi All,

                I think this problem has come up before on the list, but I
can't seem to find reference to it in the archives.  I've just installed
Stacker on my Flash card in a 200LX.  The line added to config.sys reads
"device=c:\stacker\stacker.sys a:\stacvol.dsk".  I reboot, and all works
well.  Stacker mounts the compressed volume as drive a: and I can access
it's contents.  But power off and then on again, and drive a: is now
unstacked!  I have to ctrl-alt-del reboot to remount it again.  I can take
out the device driver, reboot, go to DOS and type "stacker a:", and that
also mounts the compressed volume.  Plus it *stays* compressed if I power
off/on again.  Problem is, this can't be done in autoexec since it spawns a
new command shell, so it must be typed manually every time the 'LX is
rebooted.  Is there a way to get the device driver to work correctly?  I
have tried this with Stacker 3.0, 3.1, and 4.0 with similar results...

        Thanks,

        Jim Lee

One of the best things that I found when changing to the 100lx from a 95lx
is that it does not produce "ram disk corrupt" after restarting using ctrl +
shift + on.  I believe that this reason alone (greater reliability of data
storage) makes the 100/200lx preferable, and I also think the battery life
of the x00lx is better, in spite of its faster processor.

Hi friends,

I know that this question actually doesn't belong here, but since here
on this list are probably more Accton Ethernet card users than
elsewhere, I think I should ask here first:

I have an Accton 2216-1 and a 2212. And I have an HP Omnibook 800CT.
I run the OB with Linux and with Windows 98 (also tried 95 first).
Under Linux it is no problem getting the accton card to work: Just load
the PCMCIa driver and the network card is recognized when inserted.
But everytime I insert the card running Windows 95 or 98, it asks me
for drivers. On the Windows CD there don't seem to be drivers for the
card, and on the accton web sites I couldn't find drivers, too.

Could anyone pleae give me advice here?

TNX

Ken, I like Postal money orders because I can cash them at my
local Post Office. Also, there are a many bogus money orders out
there but I know a Postal money order is good. I cash your money
order and mail your goods all at once and save a trip. It's
worth it for me to give the discount. I haven't entered the

For my calendar (synchronized with Lotus Notes), ToDo list, address book,
most databases, currency converter, shopping list, and some other stuff
I'm now using a Palm Pilot Vx. Great if you're using it the way it is
designed:
as a PC companion. It's no good as a stand-alone machine.

Some large text files (the Palm's notebook only allows 4 KB in one notebook
entry) and my spreadsheets are still on the LX. I bought a spreadsheet for
the Palm but it is too slow for the kink of spreadsheets I'm using.

Want something like AvantGo on the HP 200 LX? Forget it.

Daniel,

I use one of these cables with great pleasure. The weight of the cable
is only 14 gr and fits in any pocket.

I get all my emails on the road while driving to the customer.

Very helpful.

Kind regards

I can not remember if I got a disc with drivers when I bought the -2
card. I know I did not get any when I bought the two -1 cards.

I just inserted them in my laptop (Dell Latitude xpi with W98SE) and
it just worked.

I can have a look around here and see if I can find any discs with
Accton on them, but I do not think that I will find anything.

Sorry to no be of any more help, but it seems strange to me that you
can not get W98 to reconise your card.

Regards

And there are more bogus money orders from the post office then
elesewhere.  There is more chance of getting a bogus post office
money order than if you got a treasurers check from the bank.
The bank can trace the treasurers check, the post office has had
a terrible record in tracing their money orders.

When it comes to money oders, i would trust the post office last.
There have been many news reports of money orders being stolen
from the post office.

Yes, but postal MOs he cashes right at the same post office
where he is sending the stuff to you.

And if it is bogus, he does not get the MO cashed, and does
not send the goods! Makes _his_ life easier.

But he only makes one trip to find out it is good, and send
the goods, or find out it is bad and NOT send the goods.

Besides, why are you arguing with him? he was clearly stated
_his_ choice, explained his conditions of sale. Why do you
attack him like this? You seem to have a knack for attacking
people here. I wish you just stopped doing this.

If you do not like to buy his Jaz drive, please don't, but why
do you have to bite into him? You chased at least one person
away from here with this tactics. Enough, please.

After messing around with this for awhile longer, I answered my own
question.  At least with Stacker 4.0, adding the option /AUTO to STACKER.INI
solved the problem.  Apparently, since drive A: is a removable drive,
Stacker unmounts it when the LX suspends (powers down) in anticipation of
the user swapping in another disk (or Flash card).  The /AUTO option causes
Stacker to automatically scan for and (re)mount stacked volumes when the LX
powers up again, but it's not the default setting.  Anyway, problem solved -
now I'm a happy camper again...

        Hi All,

                I think this problem has come up before on the list, but I
can't seem to find reference to it in the archives.  I've just installed
Stacker on my Flash card in a 200LX.  The line added to config.sys reads
"device=c:\stacker\stacker.sys a:\stacvol.dsk".  I reboot, and all works
well.  Stacker mounts the compressed volume as drive a: and I can access
it's contents.  But power off and then on again, and drive a: is now
unstacked!  I have to ctrl-alt-del reboot to remount it again.  I can take
out the device driver, reboot, go to DOS and type "stacker a:", and that
also mounts the compressed volume.  Plus it *stays* compressed if I power
off/on again.  Problem is, this can't be done in autoexec since it spawns a
new command shell, so it must be typed manually every time the 'LX is
rebooted.  Is there a way to get the device driver to work correctly?  I
have tried this with Stacker 3.0, 3.1, and 4.0 with similar results...

        Thanks,

        Jim Lee

My understanding is that this type of

is illegal in some states.  I've heard of
instances where businesses have been
nailed for this type of practice, especially
some local stores.

I was merely pointing out that dozens of stores have been

that this guy on E-bay is doing.

Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

OK, so I just inherited a copy of Quicken 8 for DOS.

I've got about three years of data saved in my 200LX's PocketQuicken.

I want to do a one-time conversion from the PocketQuicken to the desktop
Quicken.

By "one-time" I mean that I don't expect to use the PocketQuicken once I've
moved everything to the desktop, so I don't need to convert back or to
synchronize the two.

Desktop Quicken does not read PocketQuicken data files, nor can I find a
way to get it to import a QIF file.

Anyone have any suggestions?  (And yes, I know the Connectivity Pack has a
tool to do this, but no, I don't have the CP.)

        C.

Hi guys,

I'm back from vacation. Frustrated though. I didn't take the right
computer equipment and software with me on this trip.

A couple questions came up on this list, that I've since gotten
the answers to. First, there are three video zoom modes on the
720. So when I run my stock market program, (which is in quickbasic)
as long as I am in the right zoom mode, the graphics appear perfect,
same as on the 200LX.

When I run Norton SI on the DS 200LX I get a Computing Index of 6.7
Running it on the 720 I get a computing index of 14.6
So Norton says it's more than twice as fast, but it doesn't always
feel that way to me. I wonder if it's because I run my program from
the flash disk instead of RAM?

If anyone is interested in pictures, I could take some and put them
up on a web site. Let me know what you are interested in.

BTW, I'm thinking that NS Basic might be the replacement for quickbasic,
especially if I stick with the 720. At least porting to VB6 shouldn't
be that difficult.

I copied the Connectivity pack to a flash card and tried
to run it. :-(  It tried to load a TSR and locked up.

Is there any way to run the CP without loading any TSR's?

I'm not sure who originally asked about this, but DOS 5.0 may not
support a drive bigger than 520 meg, unless you run special partitioning
software that loads a device driver.  Even then, some software doesn't
recognize the extended partitions.

Howdy Steven,

How many accounts do you have in your LX?

The "hard way" .... Um... the only way I can think of right now, would be to
export each account to a .QIF file and then import them into your desktop's
Quicken.

I haven't heard of any other technique, but there are 3rd party synch.
solutions available. See if Quicken/Intuit can help.

Good luck.

It's been many years since I ran Norton SI, so I cannot remember precisely
how it measures the computer's speed, but in general an emulator can act
very differently from a real computer and speed-measurement tests can give
inaccurate results (I remember seeing this on a Mac emulator once). Also,
ISTR that screen output is a lot slower under emulation than on the LX
(but this might not apply to the more recent WinCE devices), so in average
use the 720 will probably feel slower than measured (especially in
applications that write a lot to the screen)

Which version of Norton SI did you use? tried any other speed measurement
utilities? It would be interesting to see if they gave results comparable
to Norton SI.

You will certainly get a lot more speed out of your applications when
running them natively on the 720 rather than in QuickBasic under
emulation. The 720's 200MHz StrongARM processor is a lot faster than the
processor in the LX. Of course, the Windows CE Operating System drags it
down a bit ;-)

Laust

That wouldn't be too bad, given that there are only four accounts.  The
problem is that, as I said in the original email, there doesn't seem to be
a way to import the QIF files into the desktop Quicken.

If anybody who's more familiar with Quicken 8 for DOS knows how to do the
import, please don't hesitate to let me know how I'm missing the
obvious.  <grin>

Couldn't find anything on their website.  The only reference to
PocketQuicken they have is to the Palm version, and the only converters are
from earlier versions of desktop Quicken.  *sigh*

Thanks!  I think I'm going to need it!

Comments: cc: sponsor@ftel.net
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Hi friends,

(this long email is only of interest to people who use the built-in phone
book and Post/LX).

I just released a new version (1.2) of PDB2ADR.
Two important changes to version 1.0 (1.1 is overridden):

1. A bug fix: Lines of the input file containing more than 256
characters laeded to a null pointer assignment and thus to a program
crash. Thanks to Grzegorz Wroblewski, this is now fixed.

2. I added a feature called "category check" which enables you to
create Post/LX distribution lists automatically:

You can use PDB2ADR in the common way to create the post.adr compatible
file.

In addition you can give one more column number (this one which holds
the category/categories in the input CDF file) and a category name and
then PDB2ADR will create a file compatible to the distribution list
file format of Post/LX, i.e. only plain email addresses, one per line.
And only phone book entries matching the given category will be
processed.

Example:
If you want to make your post.adr file AND a distribution list
containing the email addresses of your family members to invite them to
the yearly family meeting:

1. make the CDF file as usual with
GDBIO c:\_dat\phone.pdb > phone.cdf

2. Optional: Sort the CDF file alphabetically with a sorting program

3. make the post.adr file with (for exampple)
PDB2ADR phone.cdf 1 8 6 0 0 > post.adr

4. make your new distribution list containing only family members:
PDB2ADR phone.cdf 1 8 6 3 family > family.adr

And send you invitation email with Post/LX:

=========================
To: file:family.adr
Subject: Invitation

Next Saturday, we'd love to see you all at 6pm........

=========================


In order to make the category check feature work, you have to make use
of the category feature of the built-in phone book of course.

Either use the existing categories, if they are already given suitable
for your needs, or simply add one category per distribution file you
need. For example, add to every entry you want to export into
family.adr the category name "family". PDB2ADR checks only if the
category field of the phone book entry CONTAINS the string given as
category name, not if it matches it exactly. So in our example every
entry would be processd which contains the word "family" in the
category field. Even if you have two different categories "my family"
and "my wife's family". PDB2ADR would treat them as one in the given
example.

I hope this is of any use for some of you - I mainly created the
category check for my own needs.

Download the new version as usual from
http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/pdb2adr/pdb2adr.zip

and have fun!

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT

Hello all,

I am investigating the possibility of an extra-cheap external MP3
player possibility for the 200LX, which attaches to the serial port
and requires no HW modification to the palmtop. It would be based
on VSS soundmodule, which was developed by a local guy for use
on Amiga computers.

Of course if you want to play the quasi-standard 128k MP3 files,
there is a need to push data faster through the serial port, which is
officially max. 115,2kbit/sec.

The guy suggested the following method: The 16450 has no FIFO,
so you need to service an interrupt after every 8bit. It gives the
opportunity to write 2 bits into the handshakes (he meant
DTR and RTS?), effectively achiving 10bits/cycle. It would mean
144000bits/sec, which is enough. The DSP used in the external
module is able to read such irregular, unsynchronized data.

But the guy can only write MC680x0 (Amiga/Mac) assembler, not
PC (x86). Assembly is needed 'cause LX processor is weak.

************************
Could someone write program, that simply outputs a file (an MP3)
to the serial port using this 10bit mode of operation? Later the bells
and whistles could be added in C, but this core functionality needs
to be in ASM.
*************************

If you would do it and the details are not enough, please tell me
and I give you the email of the guy to discuss directly what he
meant.

Then, we would test the operation with laplink between HPLX <-->
Amiga (guy writes same functionality program for Amiga) and if
OK, make a prototype VSS board.

Thank you in advance, Sincerely Yours: Tamas Feher.

I'm not sure I ever knew precisely how SI measured speed but I'm
pretty sure it ran some of the usual benchmarks and compared the
results with the system timer to get the number.

It's possible that the emulator lets the system timer seem to
run at whatever speed it can run.  I've seen emulators that do
that and some that don't.  A lot of emulators offer that option.
Looking at the specs on the emulator to see if it's not
emulating the pc timer speed correctly that can be taken into
account if necessary.  If it's very well documented that
information is likely to be there.

Also IIRC, SI takes the drive into consideration if you give it
a drive name, and doesn't if you don't.  Since you don't have
physical drives it would throw the numbers off quite a bit if
you're giving it a drive as a parameter.

I agree that screen emulation is likely to have a negative
effect.  I doubt if there is a hardware text mode and that makes
a big difference in how fast writing to the screen is.  Throw in
the 200mhz cpu to do that and that might make up for it.  There
are just too many variables for any test to be meaningful.

I'd probably run SI on it if it was mine, anyway.  Making sense
is one thing.  A gadget lover just gotta have a number to
compare gadgets.  :)

The only program I know of is the Daily Diabetes Log, which another
list member laready mentioned.

Or your patients simply buy a license of Camit for Windows (by Roche
Diagnostics) and use my DMSIM program to collect the data with the
HPLX. Before they come to you, they only have to transfer the data
collected by DMSIM to their Windows machine, import the data into Camit
and are then able to print wonderful statistics and graphics with
Camit.

Yes. There are three that I have used on the LX.

FTPS from DASoft works with WWW/LX.

LXTELNET, a wattcp telnet application, also works as an ftp
server. This is the one I've used the most.

NOS-BOX, a version of the JNOS operating system, includes an ftp
server component.

Tks Mike.  Found LXTELNET.  Seems like the TCP stack has been pretty much
sorted out since I last used my 200 (which I'm migrating back to from my
woefully inadequate Handspring).  I'm surprized there aren't some decent
pdb, ndb, etc. synch packages out there that take advantage of this.
There's gotta be a demand for this ...  as a programmer, I'm tempted ...

Hi friends,

thanks a lot for all your comments regarding the Simple Technologies CF
card issue.
I've now purchased that 96MB card made by SimpleTech and I use it now
for 4 days in my LX.
I have the impression that it is slightly faster than the old card (a
Sandisk 64 MB CF) and I didn't see any battery drain issues (light
sleep mode works as usual, I think).
So there are no problems at all with this card, even in my Omnibook
800CT it is recognized without problems under Linux and under Windows
98.

It was really worth the money.

GTX
daniel
