I use the XJ3144 (14.4k, cellular capable) and I don't need any special drivers other than the ones already on the LX. I had thought this was the case for all the models (XJ1144 and XJ2144)...tho having never used them I won't swear on it. Mine worked right out of the box.

It just did! I do know that there were at least 2 versions of the XJ2144 modem produced; there was a lot of discussion about this in the apple newton groups because at least one of the versions didn't work in the newt. Something about some having little gold bars on them and some not. Mine has the "gold bars" on the edge, and it did work in my newton (which I traded away for an HP48GX), and does work very nicely in the HP. My memory might be faulty about the exact details, you could use deja news to examine the old newton groups if you liked. -Bryan -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 1 Oct 1997 07:06:28 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Longden C.

I checked out several small C compilers a couple of weeks ago with the help of several people in this group (thanks again). I needed an ANSI C compiler for a class. For a small bare bones and inexpensive C compiler, I would recommend anyone look at Mix Software's Power C. At $20 (+ $5 shipping), it's a good buy and fully (they claim) ANSI compliant. The price includes a book that not only acts as a user guide but as a very good C language reference and tutorial (IMHO the book alone is worth the price). My installation takes up just over 1mb. Check them out at http://www.mixsoftware.com/product/powerc.htm BTW, I ran Dennis' sample program and it worked OK using Power C from within Sys Mgr. Also, PCC is shareware (not freeware) and I believe the cost of Power C is less than the registration for PCC....plus PCC isn't ANSI compliant nor does it come with many of the include libraries. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 1 Oct 1997 10:12:34 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mark Sailer Subject: WTB: Docking Stations Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" This is the one I'm looking for.

I have the Costco Panasonic NiCads (1100mAh, 4 batteries + charger), Does anyone know if the provided charger is "smart"? I.e., if I inadvertently put fully charged NiCads in the charger, will the charger detect this and shut off the juice (or turn it down to trickle) ....or will they fry?

I'll add that when running Interlnk on the LX and Intersvr on the desktop (Win95), the LX has problems accessing the desktop drives from Filer (and from several other apps). It looks like in those cases, SysMgr interferes unless 1) you're running from an icon with the inverted ! in the Comments field, or 2) you're running a MaxDOS application or 3) you're in DOS and out of SysMgr entirely.

You could also wire each of the cell holders to 5 watt resistors, which I've been using for rechargeable batteries used in my torch, HP100LX and digital clock.

However it can work if you have setup the groups correctly but instead of running news directly use reader instead. NEWS is an offline reader and you must first setup the groups of interest to you then tell it which groups you wish to visit and how you wish to receive the msgs (headers only or entire msgs). Filters may also be applied here to permit you to get only those which you wish to read as well as place selected msgs in their appropriate folder. All this is easily done from reader and/or setup. When you are ready to go online (remember to select the group/s to visit by ensuring that a right-arrow appears next to them in reader) reader will launch NEWS, carry out your requests, hangup and return you to reader. If you see 'get grouplist=3Dno' and 'groups=3D0' then the program has = not been instructed to do anything and will not attempt to dial...

This method is outlined in the archives of the list on Mitch's site WWW.PALMTOP.NET. Do a GLIMPSE search for "STACKER v4." and look for a message from Ian Melville. If you have trouble, send me a private EMail & I'll walk you thru it. I would not recommend compression unless you have a 2x machine w/ 2mB or more, as you will want to use some of your C:\ for EMS to load the STACker.com.

The file is under the "utils" subdirectory. I don=B4t know much about the subject but I suppose that the program that made the disk images tansformed the disks in ASCII text. Regarding corrupt files the "Utils1" disk was corrupt with me also. This is the disk that has the setup.exe, so I had to install Word manually just by copying files and losting some features in the procedure. For instance: bold, underline, and so on, don`t show in the palmtop screen but otherwise it is working. I've already put it to use. I'm writing a manual to my students and I begun Chapter 4 in the palmtop. Later I'll transfer the file to the desktop, format it with Word for Windows and embbed the tables and graphics.

I did stack my C: drive for some time ao as to have sufficient space for software Carousel, but have unstacked it because it really slows things down and was therefore not worth it in my opinion. As I remember the instructions that came with the ACE card (containing Stacker) did not work and I wasted a lot of time trying unsuccessfully. I finally got instructions from ACE that did work. The instructions that did work for me were: 1. Backup all your files from the C: drive. Then delete all directories and files on your C: drive, including hidden files. (Dos Command: d:\dos\attrib -S -H -R c:\_dat\*.* to "unhide them" after which you can delete them.) 2. add the following 2 lines to your config.sys on the flash card: device=c:\stacker.com a: /p=0 device=c:\stacvol.ace /p=0 (note that there is a space after stacker.com and stacvol.ace and that p=0 (zero)) 3. From filer, launch INSTALL.COM which comes with ACE's stacker software and run the option to select option to double ram.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="__next_part__997122837__" --__next_part__997122837__ Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I know that the question of batteries seem to be coming up quite often but I guess that's because they are so very important. This discussion involves what seems to be two conflicting schools of thought regarding recharging batteries (in the palmtop using monitoring software) and the manufacturer's recommendation for recharging. On the one hand we have battery charging software that monitors the batteries' recharge curve (voltage against time). Initially the rate of increase is fast, gradually tapering off and eventually levelling off at a 'stall' voltage. A very slow rate of increase or a 'stalled' voltage signals that the batteries have received all the charging they need and further charging could damage or overheat them. This point can be determined by the software and is usually reached in about 8hrs or less using one of the leading battery charging programs for a typical set of 1200mah cells. This sounds reasonable. On the other hand that *same* set of cells may carry on their label: 'standard charge: 14hrs at 120ma' which seems to suggest that 8hrs = is insufficient time to fully recharge them. Taking into consideration that the batteries' voltage no longer increases after about the first 6 hrs. of charging (which the manufacturer must know) a further 8 hrs of fast charging is still recommended! This means that the stall voltage must be maintained for a prolonged period in order to acheive full charge and that the resulting overheating (if any) is acceptable? All this is pretty confusing if you ask me and leaves the user not knowing which recipe to follow. Anyone has any comments or observations to add to this?

I got it from Shier Systems. It works great. It comes with the special driver needed on diskette with a one page "job aid" to help you install the driver and get up and running. The difficult part is connecting it--you have to plug it in to the serial port. (just kidding) The cable is custom made to plug in directly to the HP serial port. When you are done using the Newton keyboard you can just unplug it. When you want it again, just plug it in. However, if you need to use the serial port, you have to deactive the keyboard by pressing a hotkey on the HP200 LX. You can then reactive it by pressing a hotkey. A minor bug seems to be that the DOS prompt may no longer show current subdirectory after you run the Shier install program. You can fix that by adding: prompt $p$g to the AUTOEXEC.BAT as modified by the Shier install program. In the old days, we used to have to add the $p$g ourselves! The keyboard comes with a nice black case with a tiny Newton icon etched into it. I was delighted to find that the regular keyboard also continues to work when you activate the Newton keyboard driver. So you can use the special HP keys to access various programs and then "wail away" with the Newton once you are inside the notepad or whatever. On the reverse side of the keyboard is a nice little job aid that tells you how to emulate the Function Keys, which don't appear on the Newton. The readme file on diskette goes into great deal about the driver and the various ways to emulate the HP 200LX special keys if you want to. The feel of the keyboard is pretty good. You can touch type on it and type pretty fast. I plan to write my next book on my HP 200LX thanks to the Newton and thanks to Shier Systems! The keyboard is quite light and small--but not too small. You can slip it into a inside coat pocket. You can modify the Newton cable yourself if you are into that sort of thing and you can get the driver on the SUPER web site. Directions on how to modify the cable are included in the readme file. Visit http://www.ilovemusic.com to explore music and dance!

I love the built-in notepad myself--It is so easy to create notes about this and that and search from them if you forget the description line. You can save the files to disk when you are ready and still import them into any decent word processor. By the way, if anyone likes to make hypertext jumps from one text file to another, I have shareware editor available called SHE. A nice feature is it keeps track of the cursor location in *all* of the files you have worked on and you can jump to that location in any file quite easily. See a file referenced while reading another file? Want to go to it? Put the cursor on the filename and press a hot key. SHE will jump into it. Want to go back to the first file? Press Esc. Want to jump to some file you edited yesterday? Press a function key to display a list of all files you've edited. Select the file and press enter. You edit two file side-by-side, or press a hot key to zoom one of the files to full screen. Limitation: SHE is limited to text files of about 60 K. If you'd like to try it, drop me a line. Cost is $9.95 if you decide to use it. Nothing if you don't. At 05:02 PM 10/2/97 +0000, you wrote: >> >> I looked and looked for tdisk202.zip but couldn't see it. Nothing >> new.

There was a potential problem is the ground of the wall adapter was not phisically connected to the HPLX ground plane. I checked the later and IT IS connected, so, it's perfectly safe to use a power jack splitter to power devices connected to the HPLX together with the HPLX itself. Regards.

Is it limited to DOS only sessions You can find the software at the SUPER sit (www.palmtop.net) listed= as NEWTON KEYBOARD DRIVER. The keyboard works with sysmgr as well as in DOS sessions. You can load the TSR in autoexec so it is ready for all of your sysmrg applications. As I use MAXDOS for most of my DOS applications I have .bat files that reload the keyboard driver in Maxdos before the application loads. for example i call this file from sysmgr using maxdos to load word5. c:\keyboard\ntkey2LX.com c: cd word5 word c:\keyboard\ntkey2LX.com -r exit this reloads the keyboard driver after maxdos has cleared memory. after word executes, the keyboard driver is unloaded before sysmgr is reloaded. unless you unload the keyboard driver before exiting MAXDOS, it hands up. That appears to be the only kink in the operation of the systm that I have found. just copy the software to your HP and there is little else to do except mmake a patch cable to hook up the keyboard.

I currently use a 200LX and Intellisync to keep apointments at work that are stored in Schedule+ synced with the palmtop. Works wonderfully. Keeps me from having to double enter all the apointments. I'm quite happy with it. That's not the problem. The problem is the office I work at is going to convert all the Office95 installs to Office 97 w/ Outlook. The Intellisync program doesn't handle Outlook. Puma Technologies has no plan on releasing a version that does. I see three options. 1) Do nothing and quit having the HP in sync with the appointment book at the office. 2) Move to a different platform that does support Outlook connectivity. (HP3x0LX, Pilot, etc) 3) Find a software package that does this. The first question becomes, "Does anybody know of software to achieve the task of syncing a 200LX's appointment book with Outlook97's Calendar?" Barring that, can anybody answer the following questions about a 320LX? If I use a 320 to dial in, can I authenticate to a WinNT 4.0 domain controller? If so, can I print to the network printers and pick up mail from my exchange server directly or do I need to hook the palmtop to another computer? To access Word and Excel files, I understand that the explorer program that ships with the WinCE machines handle conversion to and from the Pocket versions of these programs. Does this mean that if I'm RASed in, I can't access the grown-up versions of Excel and Word files on the server? (this assumes of course, that I can access any files on the server in the first place) Which applications actually support printing? I saw in Computability (catalog) that only Word and the Information Manager could print. Can the Inbox handle faxes, as the Win95 Inbox does, or is that handled exclusively by Bfax? Are there any applications that would preform the tasks that the 200lx's Database does? How about Quicken? How about Vertical Reader? (a GREAT program that I dread losing if I have to switch platforms.)

That's the loudest spot on the palmtop (under the pcmcia slot). 3-Go to the LXDIAL setup, and experiment with leghtening the duration of each dial tone. Also, make sure that there is some pause between tones. 4-I find that it helps some to reduce or avoid outside noise. I hope that helps some, but I know that there are differences between phones and systems (for example, my answering machine just looks blankly at my palmtop when I attempt to dial with it, and just keeps on sounding the dial tone.

Personally, I'm all for it, unless the company is still selling or supporting the software. Other than that, I think it should be fair game. But is there anyone on this list who's opposed to it? In any case, all of you who are using Word 5.0, should try Word 5.5 on the palmtop. It's great! It looks much like the Microsoft Works 2.0 word processor, and it's much more menu oriented and user-friendly than 5.0. The only problem, is that it's hard for most of us to type well on the 200LX in 80-column mode.

Hook up a "Private Eye" imaging device to the LX, wear glasses and project your screen in front of your eyes. I used to work in Holography seven years ago. My boss built a color heads up display for TV and computer display. He used to walk around the lab wearing it, watching movies or doing his bills. He had a prototype single hand keyboard on his thigh. It was amazing. He got so used to doing this, and had a heads up display in his truck, projecting the image at vis-inf for watching videos on long drives (he lived in the middle of nowhere).

It doesn't exactly give me a warm, fuzzy feeling as we say in the 'States. It's a shame that most software companies won't sell their older wares (with an "s") for more reasonable prices, but in many cases this is part of a business strategy. Shouldn't intellectual property owners have the right to do what they want with their work? Would we apply the same logic to a book whose author was deliberately not publishing it? I would hope one could be more diplomatic, perhaps persuade MS to license Word for DOS only for use on systems that do not meet the minimum requirements for running Win95, say. Arguably it would be a good PR move, like that bogus library advertising¬H¬H¬H¬H¬H¬H¬H¬H¬H¬H¬H donation plan. Or at least talk them into selling ZIP distributions electronically on the Web where overhead is remarkably low, and they could charge more reasonable fees. So, yes, at least one of us is somewhat opposed to the idea of declaring something "abandoned" and "taking" it. It's not like an overgrown lot or a rusted-out car that takes up actual space. But neither is taking abandonware like pirating current software. Question for the abandonware supporters (email me, not the list?): what if major vendors like MS started Web-selling old software *at the same price as the new stuff* ? E.G. You give MS $200 and you get either Word97 or Word for DOS, but not both? That way MS could provide software for older systems without jeopardizing current sales. Nothing would be "abandoned" (but neither would they be obligated to offer support for the older products). This is essentially what MS did in the Office 4.3 (Win3.1) to Office 95 (Win95) transition.

I've just used Garlic for the first time. I have had the occasional database problem before on my un-enhanced basic HP 200LX, but up until now I have been able to recover by making a new file from the file menu and merging the errant database into the empty one. I usually back up my C: directory files to a backup directory on the A: (F: renamed) drive, which is presently on my EXP 8 meg faxmodem card. However, both original and backup are similarly corrupt, so I guess something unnoticed happened shortly before the last backup. So I ran garlic. First in /v mode, then in /d with output redirected to a file. But I still don't have a usable file. Garlic tells me that there are 202 records in the file (and some other data at the start), then says, "Scanning possible record headers...", then it lists about 228 lines of stuff, then says, "@Patching virtual lookup...". Then it says, "ERROR: File is too damaged to patch virtual lookup table." First, does anyone have any idea what might have happened to the file to give an error report like this? Second, does anyone have any suggestions for salvaging the data? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jim Saklad mailto:jimdoc@iname.com -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 5 Oct 1997 17:30:42 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Karl DeLyria Subject: Flashdisk Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I have a SUNDISK 2.5 meg flashdisk.

What I'm doing is, I have a NoteTaker file that I use as a log of what goes on with a network throughout the day. I have a separate record for each day and in each record I just hit the time stamp key (Fn-.), put a colon, and then describe the problem/event/whatever that caused me to make this entry. But, if it's before 10:00 in the morning (I have it set to use 24-hour format) it will paste as: 9:01:22 instead of 09:01:22 as I'd prefer, to keep it left justified. I could just put the 0 in manually... but that kind of lessens the useuflness of having a dedicated "time stamp" key. I couldn't find anything about this in the 200LX manual, but then I didn't do a thorough search either. Anybody know= if it can be done? ----- end of forwarded message ----- -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 6 Oct 1997 16:24:00 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: Writers Toolkit installation problems MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I've got the full version on my flashcard right now.

This message appears not to have been delivered. My apologies if I'm the only one who did not get a copy. BC. Hello to All, While writing some time ago on the possibility of powering the HPLX via solar cells, another lateral thought sprang to mind, but although it was all prepared and ready to e-mail, I decided that maybe nobody would be interested. However, there have been several "wish list" type of comments recently, so here's another possibility, spurred on mainly by Owen Samuelson blowing off a little bit of steam. On Wednesday, 17 September 1997, Owen wrote: < Snip> < I want a newer faster processor, more memory, at least 16 levels of < grey scale display (256 color would be nice but I'll give a little), 2 < type II PCMCIA slots, figure out a way to squeeze in 4 AA batteries at < 3V to give 2x current for longer runtime between charging. < Snip> I was originally thinking of the two ideas (solar power and increased battery capacity) as being linked, but simply doubling the battery capacity as you want, Owen, has merit on its own. I have never taken the end caps off the hinge of my 100 HPLX but I suspect that the mechanical and electrical connections to the lid/screen are confined to each end and that the rest is a hollow pipe. If this is so, or could be redesigned that way, then there would appear to be space available inside the hinge for two AAA-size batteries. In fact, it would not take much of an increase in diameter to accommodate two AA-size cells. Just think of the extra convenience, apart from a little added weight, to be able to double battery life! Of course, I am waiting for someone to tell me that the hinge-pipe on the HPLX is already packed with stuff. Let's hope not, because my pipe dream hinges on it!

Then my SSL looks like: Bday#"10/" This also allows me to sort on month and day only to see all birthdays as they will occur during the year. Granted you lose the built in editing and formatting of the fields, but the selection and sorting were more important for my purpose. ---------- There is a thing calles "SSL Statement" in the database Subset Definition section of the "View Subset" thing. If you open the Subset Deff. tool, and move to the date field in your database, then press "General". In the box, I put the string: Date->{9/01/1997}..{10/1/1997} Then you name the Subset. When selected the database will be "sorted/filtered" to include the range of dates in the SSL statement. When it's time to edit that subset, the SSL "box" will pop up when you go to change the Subset Definition. Good Luck!

Thanks to - Al Kind for the w32filer-manual - Toshiki Sasabe for the info to the website http://www.oohito.com/200lx/200lx_j.htm I am just testing this software now. For instance w32filer I start from windows 95 (sorry Bob Aldrich - I don't know if w32 is working on win3.1 - just try) through a batch (named w32.bat): c:\w32filer\w32filer.exe com1 115200 from com1 with 115200 baud. After launching this batch on my desktop and setting the hp-filer to 115200 baud I contact (F10) the desktop. Now you can split the hp-screen and press 'remote' (F6) and the directory of the desktop appears in the hp-filer. As far I found out 'Copy' or 'Move' is only for (small) text-files available (maybe there is no binary transfer possible ?).

This is what the DOC file says: Version 5.1 -Multi image (animated) GIF support (06-OCT-97) -Space bar acts as 'single step' in animated GIFs -File name toggle key {X} added -Pixel aspect ratio now from 0.5 - 1.4 (useful for converted CAM files) -Zoom factors 16 and 32 added -Compression and Frame entry in file info box -Correct display of SONY JPEG files -F4 (Save as B&W PCX) dither bug fixed Multi image GIFs use a delay time between every frame. In normal display mode, LXPIC is aware of that. But if you press the {V}ideo key, I display the frames at maximal speed, and you may adjust speed with the {<} and {>} keys. This is useful for small videos, saved as multi image GIFs. Use the {Space Bar} to single step through a video frame by frame. Press {CR} or {P} to leave single step mode. Converted CAM files need a pixel aspect ratio of 1.2 on the palmtop, and of 1.4 on the desktop. I don't follow this list regularly, so please address comments and suggestions to my private email or CC: to me at least. The main purpose of LXPIC is - besides providing you with a palmtop picture viewer - to demonstrate another way of programming. Some of my principles are: -be modest with resources -be downwards compatible -avoid configuration files -avoid need of program installation -avoid command line switchs (users always forget them) -give online help -try to put everything in one executable so that the user can get rid of it by simply deleting one file -use single keystroke command input .. Hopefully you take advantage of all that! -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 7 Oct 1997 07:32:00 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mark Jordan Subject: Re: TransWin 200 & Win NT I, too, have gotten Tranfile 200 to work on NT... however, I noticed that when running, it takes up 100% of the system's CPU time.

My dilemna, of course, is that the syncing software runs under Windows 95, but my contact info/calendar/etc. all reside on my trusty HP 200LX. Has anyone played around with syncing the REX card directly with the HP (or with any other plain old DOS software like an old version of Sidekick?)

A while back, everyone was talking about a right hinge crack on the 200lx. I got my 4meg lx in Feburary and I thought the hinge was rather stiff, but I kinda babied it because of the fear of the hinge crack everybody talked about. Guess what, yeah, it cracked yesterday. I'm still under the year warranty, so my question is if they send me another unit (hp express), what's the fastest way to transfer files from one to the other. I use transfile for windows, so I could go that route. Is the infared transfer (machine to machine) faster. Also, I know to get my wk1,doc,gdb,etc, but what about enviroment settings, or what other files do I need to make the replacement unit mirror my unit. I can't see going without a 200lx, so I think the 3 year express warranty (for 85.00 bucks, I think) is the way to go. The hinge crack thing bothers me, looks like hp would take care of this. Thanks in advance for your help.

Also, HP officially does not recognize the fact that there is a serious material/assembly problem on the newer 200LXs... I tried to get them to fix mine... And they wanted me to pay $300 for them to fix it "because it was my fault". Yeah, right, it's my fault... I opened and closed it too much! Rrrriiiggghhhttt. I love HP for their overall product quality... But, IMHO, since Singapore got control of the Handheld division, support and reputation has suffered. For the gentleperson who's LX just developed the crack, my condolences. Your options: call HP and be prepared to part with $$$... or: break out the krazy glue! For what it's worth, my LX developed the crack after the 5th month of usage, but since I fixed it, it's been holding just fine. Not a lick of hinge trouble at all!

My first impresssion was o= ne of sheer astonishment. Imagine having the LX's potential weakest link tak= en out IN SPADES. The machine performs like a desktop with this VERY nice little keyboard (comes with such an attractive case and all that I've actually begun to really appreciate Apple ). I don't know if it was= Avi who said that this was no wimpy little chicklet key apparatus, this device really kicks serious butt. I totally agree.

Note the HTML engine of WWW/LX is basically HV + LXPIC, both of which are available on the SUPER site if you'd like to see how this works. Generally it means you may have to do a bit more "previous page" requests to get to the frame contents, but there's a really good chance it will work fine.

I'm also a bad right hinge cracker. It happened during a meeting where I immediately fell in agony and was not able to comment on any further discussions. Of course I'm guilty, because I opened the palmtop for use it. It would have been better not to do it. As a material scientist I consider this as totally rediculous that there is no way to get a spare one (or a repair) for free. By the way my palmtop is exactly 5 months old. Regards FRAX ---------- Von: HPLX Mailing List An: o=INTERNET;p=SCN;a=DBP;c=DE;dda:RFC-822=HPLX-L(a)UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU; Betreff: hinge crack, it finally got me Datum: Dienstag, 7. Oktober 1997 18:11 Hi everyone, I don't post much as I am a fairly new user, but I follow the list for the info provided by knowledgable (spelling ?) users. A while back, everyone was talking about a right hinge crack on the 200lx. I got my 4meg lx in Feburary and I thought the hinge was rather stiff, but I kinda babied it because of the fear of the hinge crack everybody talked about. Guess what, yeah, it cracked yesterday. I'm still under the year warranty, so my question is if they send me another unit (hp express), what's the fastest way to transfer files from one to the other. I use transfile for windows, so I could go that route. Is the infared transfer (machine to machine) faster. Also, I know to get my wk1,doc,gdb,etc, but what about enviroment settings, or what other files do I need to make the replacement unit mirror my unit. I can't see going without a 200lx, so I think the 3 year express warranty (for 85.00 bucks, I think) is the way to go. The hinge crack thing bothers me, looks like hp would take care of this. Thanks in advance for your help.

BTW, Hp did discontinue the express exchange service, but if you scream loud enough (I did) the will make a one time exception. My replacement unit should arrive today. I went ahead and added the service agreement for the next 2 years. They was wanting 65.00 bucks to do the exchange on every occurence, the warranty extension was 94.00. Seemed like a good deal. I own other hp equip (48,41,etc) and always was impressed with their quality, now I don't know.

I'd like to get some of your opinions on these possibilities: 1. Speed upgrade from Thaddeus/Times2Tech and wait for something better. 2. Go with a high-end Prolinear or Dauphin palmtop PC. I'd be interested in hearing comparisons of these compared to the hp200lx. Keep in mind that I have no problem with loading similar software on these machines.

Yes, it runs quite well on my 100LX. It takes 325K on disk. I usually use it in DOS together with the PE editor. I am not using it together with the application manager for memory reasons. Maybe there are better memory settings, which also allow that. I only have a 512k memory card, which is not very much. Nevertheless I am doing much programming for fun in trains, airplanes and wherever. I can do something useful in all that time and Perl is really cool. However at the moment there is only a Perl4 available for DOS. The Perl runs stable, it is possible to wrap Perl programs in DOS batch files. This works, but gives some funny error messages when the program ends. Maybe this depends on my little knowledge. My wishlist: Perl5, a 200LX for me and a perl adaption for this special library (forgot the name, PAL or whatever).

Moore" Subject: When a 200LX falls... Yesterday I again dropped my 200LX. Each time this happens my heart pounds as I turn the unit on to see if it still works. Yes, I said, "each times this happens". I thought it would be interesting to start a thread to share some horror stories of dropped units. I have several to tell. The purpose for my comment is to share my appreciation for the quality of this Hewlett Packard product. I think we sometimes take it for granted. I had the distinct honor of having dinner with Dr. Deming before he died. I like to say that I caught his intolerance for poor workmanship and design. How I wish all manufacturers were as quality conscious as HP. Instead we have money hungry losers whose only objective is to get the product out the door hoping it will work long enough before it is made obsolete by some new design. (sorry for the sermon) One quick story: Dropped unit on asphalt street at 5 feet. Scars to prove it. The round "tube" hinge pulled away from the bottom half. Still worked. I was afraid to do anything about it for a couple days. Finally squeezed the tube and base together and it surprizingly snapped right back together! I hope I am not the only one interested in hearing your horror stories and outcome. (Might be educational too).

Because of the special HP 100LX power requirements, you need to use the HP F1011A adapter, or one like it. This is a regulated AC to DC converter with these specifications: Polarity: Negative ( center contact on adapter is ground, outer contact is positive). Minimum voltage: +9.6 V Nominal voltage +12 V Maximum voltage: +14.4 V Maximum current: 750 mA HP F1011A Adapter Continuous Charge Rate as per. page A-4: The first 6 hours: 100 mA After 6 hours: 45 mA Can some check and see it the above spec is the same for the 200LX. :) I've found that the 100LX works just fine with +9.0 V and 500 mA. It killed a +11.0 V with 300 mA in just a little over 3 weeks and a +12 V with 300 mA within a year and a half. I was using a +12 V with 800 mA but after reading the Maximum current of: 750 mA. I've discontinued its use. >HP recommends 12v at at least 750ma. I bought a 12v-1amp ps from Radio Shack for $23, which I thought was a good deal.

For instance, the keyboard expect to see a +5v clock signal on pin 1. I suppose, as someone else indicated, you could create a little box with a 555 timer to simulate it, or have the keyboard driver software constantly enable/disable the MR flag, but that would take an awful lot of CPU cycles. ------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer dskramer@concentric.net DK KD http://www.concentric.net/~dskramer DKK D DK KD Today I will gladly share my experience and advice, DDDD for there are no sweeter words than "I told you so." -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 8 Oct 1997 16:22:31 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Kiyoshi Akima Subject: Re: Possibilities for a new palmtop Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit We have a Toshiba Libretto that we picked up in Japan about six months ago. It's the 50CTA model, Pentium 75, 800M disk, Japanese Windows95 and Japanese applications. Battery life stinks. And you have to turn if off (yes, off) to recharge. If you leave it plugged in and on (a not-too-unusual configuration when using it as a non-mobile computer) the battery will discharge in about six to eight hours. I believe Toshiba has remedied this situation in the new models. Screen is 640x480. I find myself scrolling too much. Keyboard. What can I say? It's larger than the 200LX, but still too small for me to comfortably touch-type. My wife has smaller hands so it doesn't bother her as much. Booting. The biggest difference, IMHO. When I want to look up a phone number, for instance, with my LX, I turn it on, hit the Phone key, enter the first few letters, and there I am. With the Libretto, I have to turn it on, wait for it to boot Win95, start the phone book app, and then look up the entry. And when I'm done, I have to close the app, and then shut down Win95. You can NOT turn the Libretto off by hitting the power switch. The power switch serves only to turn the power ON. Pressing it while on does nothing. You have to shut down Win95, telling it to shut down the computer. For me, this alone keeps me from using the Libretto as my primary mobile machine (it usually just sits on a desk at home). When I need the computer, the LX is always just a "ON" button away.

Why?? The 800 mA rating is the MAXIMUM LOAD for the adapter. You can safely use an adapter with a higher max load capacity, but those with lower ratings won't cut it. AC adapters don't try to cram the rated load current into the palmtop (or whatever else). The only possible problem with unregulated adapters is that the no-load voltage is often substantially higher than the rated voltage. If you have a voltmeter available, check and see if the no-load output is above the 14.4 max allowed by the palmtop. An adapter used with the palmtop should have: 1 AT LEAST 750 mA max load capacity (although 500 mA types seem to be OK) 2 Voltage (under load) above 9.6V 3 No-load voltage less than 14.4V 4 A connector with 5.5 mm OD 2.1 mm ID NEGATIVE center. Anything that fits these qualifications should work fine.

I have been reading the CE mail list for a while after looking at the HP320 and decided that I wasn't interested in the CE machines with their current limitations. So I chose Mack's upgrades at Times 2 Tech. I had the speed and the 6 MB memory upgrades performed on my 1 MB model 200LX and have been very pleased with the resuts. I now no longer have to store all of the files I access constantly on the flash card and the impact of the extra speed has been amazing. As a note, I get about 9 to 9.5 hours of battery time (As shown on the copy of Buddy I started evaluating after the upgrade) from each pair of RayoVac alkalines before the low battery alarm goes off. As for the future, when I have to leave the 200 LX behind I'll be looking at the new generation of subnotebooks such as the Amity vice a CE variant. The need to have to process my files through a configuration program to go from my desktop to palmtop doesn't appeal to me nor does the loss of the ability to use my DOS files. Kind of rambling I know but though this might help you decide what to do.

If HP doesn't show me the upgrade in 1998, my plan is to get the 8 meg and speed upgrade for my 200LX sometime in that year. Also want to get an EXP 14.4Kbs fax/modem with 8 meg flash on board. > 2.

My wife drove off and while moving down a local highway at 45 mph, she noticed it fly off the car.(thank goodness!) By the time she could stop and pick it up, it had been run over by a car. As far as I could tell, it wasn't a direct hit but the tire grazed the right side of the unit. The screen was cracked but all data on my c: drive and a: flashcard was intact! I transfered all data on c: to my PC and removed the undamaged flashcard. Sent the unit to HP and it cost $175.00 US to replace the LCD screen. Now, if HP will just design an upgrade to the 200lx with this same quality, I will lay my money down in a heartbeat! Have a good one!

It was fairly easy; took about 3 hours including figuring out the pinout of the 200LX's connector. But then, I'm pretty skilled at soldering. You can find out about it by checking out the web page I wrote: http://www.upl.cs.wisc.edu/~orn/200lx.html Rudy This sounds pretty interesting. A couple of questions: Did your machine have a memory daughtercard in it already? If so, when you were done, how many MBs did you get? 3? I was under the impression that the older 200LX machines had 1MB on the daughtercard. Was the memory chip on the daughtercard an SOJ (it appears to be from your pinouts)? If so, maybe one could remove that one, and add a 1Mx16 part instead. Most of the pins seem to map, until you get to the bottom 7 or so...then they are off by one.. Did you consider this? Also, I think you have a typo in your table. I think connector pin 27 should go to pin 15 on the 256kX16 part. I would like to upgrade my machine, but would want to go to at least 5MB (I have an older 200LX). Even better would be 8MB, but I think that requires a motherboard hack. Any clues?

I've noticed some stores are again offering the 200LX's. I was just thinking that HP has waited over 3 years since the 200LX came out without offering an upgrade. This was not the case from the 95LX to the 100LX to the 200LX. There is still a decent market for a DOS machine but if they wait much longer the windows CE(or something else) units might develop into something useful to me.

Also in reply to when a 200LX falls, my 100LX kissed the pavement many times and it keeps going strong. 2 months ago I bought a Pilot, which after 2 weeks in my shirt pocket, it decided also to kiss the pavement. It was a kiss of death. Kaput. The display cracked. The replacement charge was almost as much as my purchase price, so I decided to hunt for another 000LX. I found a 2 meg 200LX in mint condition. And to protect it from my rough use (climbing ladders, etc.), I bought a heavy duty leather belt pouch. Hoping for another 4 years of service (or more). Saludos... Jeffcom.

The last version that I have was released in 1988. It is very easy to use for can ordinary user, but it is very functional, and even it can be used to generate macros, and an application using "Autopilot". With "Autopilot" you can generate a database system with windowing capability, much more like a professional DOS application. However, this version can only handle one data file at a time. It does not support any field relationship like dbase III. However, it has a capability of looking up another data file, and changing a datafile on the fly using a macro or "autopilot". We can perform field calculations and control them via a "goto" statement, searching capability at each field using a wild card character, etc. Thus, if your data file is only one at a time, I would recommend to use this software. Does anyone know if there is a newer version of the Professional File, which has a capability of handling multiple files and perform field relationship?.

With this software, you can search FTP to download any program and Go!Zilla will optimize to find the fastest site for you. The most interesting thing is that the download process can be resumed next time if the connection is lost. You do not have to restart from the beginning!.You only need to resume the download process for the rest of bytes that have not been transfered yet !.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" About 3 weeks ago, I was walking in to work, and pulled the 200 out of the outside pocket of my laptop case(where it usually lives if I have the case with me, otherwise, it's in my pocket.) Fumbled, attempted to catch the HP, ended up only making things worse. It hit the ground incredibly hard. The flash card flew out and landed a good 4 feet away. The palmtop bounced, spun around, crashed again. Result: I now have to gouges on the front right and back left corners(which I smoothed with the fine file on my Leatherman. (The other really important tool.)) Other than that, no visible damage, all the data is happy. I'm happy too. On another note, my ex-boss did something much worse. He was apparently bending over to flush the toilet, and the HP fell out of his shirt pocket. Needless to say, he snatched it out of the water, pulled the batteries, washed it off, and being an engineer, put it in the environmental chamber to dry. His 200 didn't come back on. So he calls HP Tech support and tells them he dropped it in the water, and now it doesn't work. Tech support says "We've heard of HPs falling into water before. At least you didn't drop it in the toilet." Anyway, it is fixed, last I heard, and he's once again happy. Although I understand he keeps it away from toilets now. cjh -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 9 Oct 1997 07:11:19 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Hart Subject: Libretto MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I heard that the newest Libretto has both suspend to disk and will keep on while recharging. Unfortunately this Libretto is available only in Japan currently (it is not the one being sold in the US). === Dave Hart (hartd@poboxes.com) Beavercreek (Dayton), OH USA "Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read." - G. Marx Previous message: We have a Toshiba Libretto that we picked up in Japan about six months ago. It's the 50CTA model, Pentium 75, 800M disk, Japanese Windows95 and Japanese applications. Battery life stinks. And you have to turn if off (yes, off) to recharge. If you leave it plugged in and on (a not-too-unusual configuration when using it as a non-mobile computer) the battery will discharge in about six to eight hours. I believe Toshiba has remedied this situation in the new models. Screen is 640x480. I find myself scrolling too much. Keyboard. What can I say? It's larger than the 200LX, but still too small for me to comfortably touch-type. My wife has smaller hands so it doesn't bother her as much. Booting. The biggest difference, IMHO. When I want to look up a phone number, for instance, with my LX, I turn it on, hit the Phone key, enter the first few letters, and there I am. With the Libretto, I have to turn it on, wait for it to boot Win95, start the phone book app, and then look up the entry. And when I'm done, I have to close the app, and then shut down Win95. You can NOT turn the Libretto off by hitting the power switch. The power switch serves only to turn the power ON. Pressing it while on does nothing. You have to shut down Win95, telling it to shut down the computer. For me, this alone keeps me from using the Libretto as my primary mobile machine (it usually just sits on a desk at home). When I need the computer, the LX is always just a "ON" button away. _____________________________________________________________________ Sent by RocketMail.

NO. Here is why. The output of your 95's power supply is AC, the output of the other one is DC. Even if the palmtop has a diode or bridge in it to protect it from the AC supply, you still won't get sufficient voltage through the diode (or whatever). Usually when you pass an AC signal through a rectifier of some sort, you pay a "toll" to the semiconductor god in the form of having to overcome the device's barrier voltage. You also lose some to conversion efficiency in the filtering and protection circuits. (yes, even a fuse _must_ drop a tiny amount of voltage to protect a circuit) Don't do it!

The part on the motherboard was a TSOP II - great form factor if you're a pick and place machine, not so good if you're doing hand soldering. The part that I added was an SOJ package - which just barely fits within the space in the case. > Also, I think you have a typo in your table.

Do you have a book that indicates 15 is used for A9 in other parts?

And I understand they are working on an 8MB upgrade (which suggests that they're hacking the motherboard. Alternately, if you like to roll your own and are pretty skilled, it looks like it will take 4 1Mx16 chips to do this, or perhaps 2 4Mx16 plus a bit of logic.

Sorry I believe there are 2 kind of people :-) 1) those for whom fashion is most important and need to have the latest Windows product 2) those who need a machine to work with For 1), I would guess the WinCE machines are the *optimal* solution. They even have a promise that they can upgrade to 2.0 soon. And if = they have a 300LX, they can even upgrade to a different machine because = 2.0 needs too much memory.

Let's take me as an example: On the 200LX, I can develop software, create a multi column document with formulae that I can directly give to the publisher (using LaTeX, for example). On a WinCE machine, I cannot even use a simple macro, enter any umlauts or send a file to any non-Windows95 (or NT) machine. Why would I want to "upgrade"? I'd better stick with an "obsolete" platform that works for me.

I have a book called "Byte Me", a parody of "... for Dummies" books, and it has this to say about viruses: (funny) "If you suspect you might have a computer virus, watch for the following symptoms: 1. At least one program fails to perform as expected. 2. Your computer displays messages you can't under- stand. 3. You can't find many of your files. 4. Games run too slowly. 5. Your friends' machines seem to run much better than yours. One or more of the above symptoms means that a) you have a computer virus, or b) you have a computer. . . .

Prior to using HP Windows version of the Phone book I was syncing my palmtop with MS Schedule using Intellisync. I had modified the phone database and mapped the fields to my PC Schedule. I tried to used the modified phone database with the Win version of HP Phone and as you stated, it crashed. I remapped my PC schedule to the standard Phone database and moved the extra fields to the note field in the standard database. I no longer have the extra fields, but I didn't lose any data and more importantly I didn't have to re-enter any data.

Load the memo file to notepad, turn on word wrap, exit notepad, then it will ask you if you want to save the file (because you have in fact modified it with word wrap).

I recently wrote a C program to convert a file WITH hard returns to a file WITHOUT. That was hard. The reverse should be easy. Just get word processor that allows you to save as a DOS text file *or* a DOS Generic Word Processor file, such as WordPerfect (for Windows). The Generic Word Processor format is the one with no hard returns except at the end of paragraphs. DOS text file will insert a hard return at the end of each line, even if the file originally had none. Microsoft Word probably has something similar to this... -- Visit the HP200LX site at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 10 Oct 1997 09:33:13 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Dirk Lipper Organization: Philips Semiconductors Nijmegen Subject: speed upgrade fails - new motherboard?

I just moved the .PDB file over from my LX to my desk/laptop and opened it up. The program does appear to crash if you try to MERGE the PHONE.PDB. All the fields are there, as previously mentioned, all you need do is SUBSET/ARRANGE/SHOW to view the fileds on the startup screen.

You might call software labs and ask them to send a catalog. 206-869-6729. However, I think their programs require VGA. I have written a program for training your musical ear, but it doesn't use musical notation. It plays various musical intervals for you at random and you have to name the interval. It keeps track of your responses and drills you on the intervals that you have the most difficulty identifying. It's a good learn tool for music students. Cakewalk for DOS would enable you to edit MIDI scores. It uses a piano roll view rather than a graphical notation view. You *might* even be able to drive a MIDI instrument with a 200 LX using a special serial interface from Keytronics.

Sorry =================================================== I frequently use several DOS programs that I have written on Windows NT 4.0 and they work great. They save me time since I don't have to deal with the slow, fancy, mousy Windows Interface. For example: ZIPMOVE.EXE -- a program that automatically zips all programs in the current directory and moves the zipped file to another directory specified on the command line. A unique zip file based on today's date is created. For example: 971011.001 971011.002 etc. That way I can backup a subdirectory as many times as I like with very little effort . ÝZipmove works with PKZIP.¨ Zipmove can be called from a batch file. The user doesn't have to stop and think about the name to use for the zip file since its created automatically. REPLY.COM is a 7 byte DOS program that I created using debug. It let's me create interactive DOS Batch files that automate tasks that would be a chore to do in that fancy Windows Interface. MASTERY.EXE is a dos program that helps me study and master various subjects. It's like an automated flashcard system. Questions are systematically chosen and displayed until I indicate that I have mastered them. All run fine under Windows NT 4.0 and on my palmtop. Let's face it, DOS is superior to Windows for many kinds of computer applications. It's leaner and faster and easier to use. Windows has been pushed on business people because it helps sell more machines. You've got to have a hefty machine to run Windows. Think of all the hardware sales made possible by Windows. I know, for some types of applications Windows is superior. But not for everything. Visit http://www.ilovemusic.com to explore music and dance!

(1) Yes, cakewalk can do it. You can download a crippleware demo of their old DOS version from their site. You can edit .MID, display music notation, but can't save in this crippled version. But cakewalk is hideously slow on the hplx (like, 2-3 minutes just to get started), and is very awkard to use, IMHO. On the hplx, it really *is* crippleware . However, it's pretty much the standard, AFIAK. (2) The old sound-blaster cards came with a little midi editor, that is also very awkard to use. Called SPPRO, 260K. But it doesn't display music notation. (3) I've written a little routine that creates midi files for the simple tunes I work with: you pass in an array of pitches and an array of durations. This is even harder to use than the above two programs, because you've got to write another program yourself just to use it! Let me know if you are interested in this approach. In a similar vein, I think SimTel has a collection of C library routines to handle midi. (4) Another avenue was an add-on for LaTeX (the unix typesetting program). But I didn't even *think* about a DOS version of this that would fit on the palmtop. :) (5) I looked around quite a bit for a music notation program, but no luck. so, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU FIND ANYTHING! :) bren@cs.monash.edu.au -- Brendan Macmillan -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 10 Oct 1997 18:32:49 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Ken A.

Hmmmm, yes, we can't deduct causation through a temporal relationship ... and yet, we can't deduct *anything* about the real world, only about our abstract models of it. Mathematics for example. However, as I understand it, a repeated temporal relationship is the *only* basis upon which we can induct anything about the real world. Of course, generalising from a sample of one - as dr deming seems to have done - is certainly fallacious.

Then we came out with this idea. If HP didn't change the 200LX, our dream palmtop is this. Same size as 200LX, DOUBLE the duability and add WATER PROTECTION. (my palmtop died 2 weeks back from being soaked in soya bean drink....) Have a 286/386 class processor with on board 8Megs expandable as according to current DRAM sizes (Samsung has a 1chip 1gig DRAM in production) running 4k data transfer (said to halve battery usage). Have a VGA/EGA class video chip. No accelaration needed. Have it run the same software, with option to dump in OS/2 Lite / Linux Lite with JAVA? Have it to have touchscreen facilities and handwriting features, thus effectively having an in-built PS/2 mouse system (like most laptops) Have it run latest PCMCIA 2.1 standard drivers, with option to flash in new drivers as an when nessesary. Have a parallel port connector the size of the Toshiba floppy drive connector for the subnote series (it's about 1/4 the thickness of the serial port hole, and twice as long). Have a backlight system, modular, so as to be an addon, with different backlight colours like basic green or red for night vision. The BIOS should run a thing like OpenDOS, with ability to boot from PCMCIA, MOST of these can be done by addons, but I figure that the software is constricting, along with the design. If there is a design company doing this kind of work, I wonder if they would take this kind of scheme in plan. Have a HP sent back to them, and they offer their special design for a discount, something like the old 100LX -> 200LX trade in packages. I wouldn't mind such an offer. It would really mean a lot to not only me, but many others. Maybe the venture capitalist who posted to the list about 2 weeks ago might be interested. I could find people who can develop the entire system within 1/2 a year or so......

It has a rubber ring that uses friction against a metal rod to hold the screen up. Pop off the right hinge cap (with your fingernail... just get it in there and wiggle it off) and you can see the central metal piece and the black rubber ring around it that supports the screen. Put a few drops of isopropyl alcohol on it and move the display back and forth. That will stiffen it up again, at least for a little while. Alternatively, you can just try and jam something in between one of the endcaps and the hinge, thus adding friction manually. But be careful if you try it on the left side of the hinge; there's a gap in it through which runs the ribbon cable that carries the screen signal. -- Visit the HP200LX site at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 11 Oct 1997 18:40:05 +1000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Brendan Macmillan Subject: Re: MUSIC IN HP200LX In-Reply-To: <3.0.1.32.19971010220001.00ec7c58@fpage2.ba.best.com> from "Philip Seyer" at Oct 10, 97 10:00:01 pm MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > Which MIDI instruments include a serial interface?

Can any experienced user tell me how to use infrared transfer under the current conditions.

The confusing thing is that it was using extended memory just fine until about a month ago when I had low battery condition causing corruption of my files on the PCMCIA card (where I kept the SC files). I= re-formatted the flash card, copied all the files back to the card, including the SC program directly from the program disk floppies. I set u= p Mack's EMM program (TREMM) as before and it tests OK. However, SC just hangs on ititialization when I answer yes to "use extend= ed memory". Then, when I execute optimize I have only the option to optimize= the flash card drive, not the C: drive. I have tried everything I can thi= nk of to get SC to use extended memory again, including erasing all c: drive= files except the bare minimum, and using as little as 25 pages of EMS memory, and nothing is working. So I'm still using SC, but it's much slow= er at switching between sessions now (maybe 15 seconds as compared to 2 seconds before). Any help would be appreciated.

DRAM refresh is a fairly power hungry process not what you would expect in the Palmtop. Also memory is retained if the main batteries are out and only the 3v backup battery is fitted.

A lot of knowledgable people on this list. I wondered about your flash card since I'm thinking of purchasing one. I was leaning toward Magic Ram's cards but what about your setup.

Well, I guess it depends on what you mean by "spring loaded." There is a spring in there, it's true, in the 200LX. But that's not what keeps the screen up. The spring is there to supply tension to the inner rubber ring against the plastic of the case. The spring wearing out is not what causes the screen to go floppy. When I took my assembly apart I couldn't get it back together again, so I just left the spring out and substituted some a piece of IDE ribbon cable for the rubber ring. In any case, it works fine. Feels different, but works. All this is just what I remember from taking the assembly apart. I don't recommend it; it's very difficult to get back together. > This right hand tension is also what I believe is the reason that the > 100/200LX develops the well known crack in that area. I'm not for sure, > but willing to bet that your pin has fell out or the spring is just worn out. The pin doesn't fall out. The screen goes floppy because of a lack of friction between the rubber ring and the metal pin in the middle. Anything that increases the friction between the rubber and the metal (like cleaning it) will increase the stiffness of the screen. -- Visit the HP200LX site at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 11 Oct 1997 15:48:16 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Quinton Jones JR Subject: Palmtop Paper???

The screen goes floppy because of a lack of friction True David - I couldn't pull the pin out of the rod with pliers - there's no way it will "fall out" MORE STUFF: I have just "merged" a 200lx (SG430..) with an 100LX (SG410..) to make a 200lx motherboard (had broken screen) in an 100lx case (nice in black) and screen ! Works fine except Green-200 keys are not the same as blue-100 keys so I kept the greenish key surround overlay from the 200. The keys are all molded on one sheet of plastic where the key movement is just the flexing of the two plastic strips (part of the mold) that hold each key into the frame. If anyone has a loose key then it will be because the plastic has snapped (like my 200lx spacebar) You can repair it with some thin high quality adhesive tape across the break but the key will loose some of its "feel" (after lifting the key surround overlay that is glued down) While lifting the screen surround (gently from the screen side out with a thin but broad bladed knife) on both the 100lx and 200lx I found all 4 of the torx6 fixing screws loose. The screws on the left side hold the screen to the connector cable and if you have an intermittent screen problem try simply tightening these screws (buy the torx #6 screwdriver at your local hardware or electronic component reseller) I have bought a COVERTEC case (was for Psion) that clips to a belt loop or a shoulder strap and looks smart and holds the HP100/200lx firmly. The case has a thin carrier that holds 2 proprietry Psion SSB cards but can be modified for a PC2 card (my LXM modem & very short cable) If you have considered this case I recommend it for convenience, protection and style. The quick release clip is a nice feature too.

Put the card in the adapter and popped it in the 200LX, it looks just like a full size card with the adapter and fits flush. Powered on the machine and went to filer. There it showed an extra drive E: with 14.9 megs. Changed the autoexec.bat settings with Memo (assign E:=A:), rebooted and ran a chkdsk on A: and confirmed the drive was up and working. Headed for the cash register to pay for it. I haven't used a stop watch or timed any other software functions, but in the store I noticed that this card allows chkdsk to run faster than on the on-board memory. Using the counting method and with the card 70% filled, chkdsk runs faster by over a full second. I notice no slowdown of apps. I also haven't noticed any excessive battery consumption. Although I've only had this card about a week the battery bar has hardly dropped and I'm using the machine more now due to the extra programs and data I can now use.

Fortunately, the fix is quite simple, once you know the problem. The hinge is held on both the right and left sides. The left side hinge is only a pivot point. The right side hinge contains a "friction clutch" which is what keeps the display in the position you set. The trouble is caused when the clutch gets dirty. Cleaning the clutch will stiffen the movement. To clean the clutch, gently remove the dust cover from the RIGHT SIDE hinge. This is done, by pulling it straight off with your fingers. (You may have to push your fingernail into the grove at the end of the cap to get it started. Place a drop of isopropyl alcohol (NOT rubbing alcohol, because it contains oil) in the center of the hinge (shown with the arrow.) Work the hinge back and forth, then replace the end cap. The hinge should once again be stiff. NOTE: Never put anything in the left hinge. The left hinge has the cable for the display passing through it, which might be damaged by foreign objects. Hope this will help you.

It's in there pretty securely. The only thing that could possibly happen is for the pin to fall out of the hole in the case.

IS THERE ANY PROGRAM TO EDIT MUSIC FOR .WAV, .MID, >ETC? THANKS A LOT I think there are programs for working with .wav and .mid files on Simtel, for DOS, but I never tried them. Try shareware.com. As far as DOS music scoring, there are a couple of single voice programs on Simtel that work on the palmtop. One of them is Melody Master (if I got the name right). But those programs are much too wimpy for my needs. I currently use Music Printer Plus, a programs which I purchased from USENET. It prints profesional quality scores, input is via on-screen sheet music, MIDI files, or a MIDI instrument (such as a Roland keyboard). It outputs to printer, midi file, score file, or directly to a midi output device (I'm still holding on to Brendan posts from the old list in which he describes how to connect the palmtop to a portable midi output device he has seen). For my part, I often save my work to midi files, then play them on my palmtop's pc speaker with a program from SUPER called LXMIDI (after having converted the files to a format LXMIDI can understand, with another SUPER program called MIDI1TO0). The following are the settings I use with LXMIDI. They allow me to play midi files with a minimal amount of speaker noise, a moderate tempo, and the pitches played correspond to the actual pitches I write with Music Printer Plus: LXMIDI -N1 -D0 -E6 -O4 -R0 -T70 -V100 -X %1.MID Music Printer Plus, like other excellent DOS music programs, is apparently no longer available, but there are several ways to obtain it used (like I did. I had to haggle a bit to get the $75 price I paid, because the original retail price is $500). Sorry for the ranting style of this post.

Another program (can't remember which one) allows the palmtop's drives to be mapped onto a PC as network drives and vice versa (I think!). I'm sure there are other ways to accomplish this but I am not familiar with any other programs for that purpose. -Jeremy http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Park/9861/ Updated Saturday, October 11th, 1997 -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 12 Oct 1997 17:53:56 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Domingo Diaz-Vazquez Subject: Re: hinge crack, it finally got me Comments: cc: davidsa@ACCESSNV.COM On 1997-10-07 HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU said to ddv*teach*@digita l.net >Terry Livingston wrote: >> Guess what, yeah, it cracked yesterday.

I did this by following the solutions published on the HP palmtop paper, Volume 5 Number 4 1996 an article by Pete Jordan. You did say your error was "insufficient resources". There are 4 solutions to this problem, and since it is a bit wordy I will choose the one which I tested and have worked with since. The following is on the desktop: You load LLRA.BAT directly from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Open AUTOEXEC.BAT and add the following lines to the beginning of the file(but after the command line reffering to MSCDEX.EXE): cd\cpack200 call llra.bat cd\ After saving one should reboot. On the Palmtop: There should be a physical link between the palmtop and the PC when the PC reboots. You must also be running Laplink remote up and running on the palmtop. Once you have heard the "beeps"of connection you will have no problem. You can connect and disconnect at will. Note: If windows 95 starts up before the connection is made it will probably not connect. If this is the case reboot the pc and press F8( you have 2 seconds only). Amenu will appear from which you must choose "Command Prompt Only". Dos will appear on your screen, execute autoexec.bat, wait for the connection beeps, then type Win to start windows 95.

In fact, DOS 6 added a lot more to DOS 5 than Works 3 added to 2. The wizards do not add much (unless you are a newbie), and the program is substantially slower than version 2. I own both versions, and I recomend Works 2 over Works 3 on the palmtop any day.

Those would be excellent for a 3x flash card. (I have a 40MB Microtech card, from when they had them on sale for much less than they are now.) In any case, the docs indicate that it draws 150/160 milliamps max during read/write operations. Much greater than the specs you got. And it certainly seems to suck up the battery juice faster than a regular flash card. So somebody at Microtech gave you those values?

The differences are that the RS232 port are 38kbps while MIDI are 31.5 kbps, and that RS232 is +/- 10 V logic while MIDI is 5/0 V. I use a KORG 05R/W with the serial interface, and it works perfectly. It translates the RS232 communication with my notebook to standard MIDI on the MIDI ports automatically, so other MIDI equipment (my keyboard) works together with the PC/module combination. I have not tried to connect my HP100LX yet, mostly due to a lack of competent MIDI-sequencers, that will fit the few kb free disk-space. Wish I had a many-meg 200.

That being the hardware integrity of the older vs. newer HP200LX's. I now have to decide whether to exchange my older unit (mfgd. Singapore 10th week of 95) for a newer unit (mfgd. Singapore 10th week of 96). Your experience and comments could help guide me and those like me to the right decision. I purchased an HP200LX 2mb in 5/95 and signed up for the HP Express Exchange when I knew my relationship with my HPLX would be a long one. And over the years I've exchanged my HPLX 3 times and I'd like to share my experience and ask for your help: 1. After several months my 1st unit began losing columns of pixels and started getting a loose hinge. (And to confirm reports I've read here, I believe I did carry it the back pocket of my jeans a lot in those days and it probably got bent a little.) 2. After several months, my second unit developed a loose hinge. 3. For the last 1 1/2 years I've been very happy with my 3rd unit (but the screen didn't have as good contrast as the previous one). I haven't babied it, its been dropped a couple of times, but I usually carried it in a leather "palm" case while at work or the very tough and padded "Ripoff" case (both from EduCalc). A few weeks ago, I noticed the rubber foot near the PCMCIA ejector was gone and the screw had fallen out, exactly the same scenario as other reports I've read in the digests. I called HP and told them of the problem and that I'd had the system lockup about twice a week (which I previously had figured wasn't all that unusual since I am a heavy user and use Carousel, Lotus Agenda, and Managing Your Money, all of which use EMS memory). Anyway, HP was *very* good about it and agreed to send me a new unit. 4. I told HP that I was thinking about upgrading the unit after my warranty ran out and requested a unit with 2mb on the system board as well as a better screen. Well, I got the 2mb on the system board, but the screen is slightly less readable. Anyway, I have both machines now and need to send one back to HP right away, but I'm worried. The new machine seems to lock up more than the old one. I upgraded to the latest version of Software Carousel and have used EMM200 (with the patch for units w/ 2mb on the system board) as well as Mack Bagette's TREMM, but using the same configuration on both machines, my old one seems more stable. (I'd say that on both machines, the lock up usually occurs Software Carousel switches to Work area 1 when an alarm goes off and when exiting Lotus Agenda in Work Area 2). Maybe I should keep the old one? I have no cracks in either and the cases seem to be identical in strength. However, over the weekend, the foot and screw of the *new* unit fell out of the same place as the old! I want to upgrade to 8MB and 2x and I understand Times2tech can do that even with my old unit. BTW, I installed Buddy 3.0b, does anybody know if it treats 200LX's with 2mb on the system board differently? I would appreciate any help. Sorry for the length of this message, but I hope this info is useful to someone else too.

Just to clarify Nettamer is shareware - not free - and if you try it & like it you should register it. The registration fee is very reasonable & covers all future upgrades.

Epic MegaGames has released the full versions of ZZT and Super ZZT to the public domain. You can get them from Epic at http://www.epicgames.com. ZZT, for those of you who were living under rocks in 1991, was a beautiful Kroz-style game which centered around object oriented programming and user- made levels. Anyway, they released Town, Caves, Dungeon, and City of ZZT, along with the companion Super ZZT levels Monster Zoo, Forest of ZZT, and Proving Grounds. In addition, they have additional third-party worlds available on their server, such as the Smiley Guy adventures. The screen can be hard to read on the 200, but if you ON+/ and ON+* right you can get a pretty good picture. Ian Butler Advanced Software Systems, Inc.

Infinitely worse. We dared to open and then close the lid. If you don't have a problem, count yourself lucky. Maybe they made yours AFTER their morning coffee (or whatever it is they drink there).

HP leads the palmtop PC market by concentrating on key customer needs, such as screen size, quality and total cost of ownership. The HP 360LX offers such breakthrough features as a full-width, 16-greyscale, high-contrast screen with natural-white backlight and enterprise management capabilities. In late 1997, HP expects to further enhance its palmtop PC line with the HP 620LX, a color-display model. "HP is a recognized leader in the palmtop PC category, having engineered the HP 320LX, the first Windows CE handheld device with a full-width, 640- x 240-pixel screen," said Dennis Hamann, worldwide marketing manager of HP's Asia Pacific PC Division. "By advancing the role of the palmtop PC in the enterprise and offering a new color model, HP substantially advances its leadership position in the handheld industry." THE HP 360LX PALMTOP PC BREAKS GROUND IN THE ENTERPRISE Based on the Windows CE 2.0 operating system, the HP 360LX offers corporate customers significant advantages in mobile computing, including easy PC synchronization and compatibility with familiar business applications, such as Microsoft PowerPoint. In early 1998, HP expects to deliver software to manage the HP 360LX palmtop PC as a component on the network using HP TopTools and other DMI-compliant management applications. The HP TopTools initiative will lower a corporation's total cost of ownership of enterprise computing products while giving network administrators a simple, standardized means of managing the computing assets of the enterprise. Other advantages of the HP 360LX palmtop PC include the high-contrast display with 16 grey shades, increasing visibility and clarity; a month-view PIM that makes time management and organization even more convenient for mobile professionals; and a dedicated storage slot for CompactFlash cards, leaving the PC card slot free for a modem connection. The HP 360LX palmtop PC also comes with 8MB of RAM; 10MB of ROM; and an improved Hitachi microprocessor, which significantly enhances performance and speed. HP'S GROWING PALMTOP PC FAMILY: VALUE, PERFORMANCE AND COLOR HP secured and solidified its industry leadership with products such as its scientific calculator, circa 1972, and its DOS-based palmtop PCs. HP continued to revolutionize the handheld category with the introduction of its Microsoft Windows CE-based palmtop PCs -- including the HP 320LX, the first wide-screen, Windows CE palmtop PC, and now its HP 360LX. And coming in late 1997, HP's palmtop PC family will further advance the industry with the addition of a color-display model, the HP 620LX palmtop PC. AVAILABILITY, PRICING AND SUPPORT The HP 360LX palmtop PC is expected to ship in late 1997 and will be available through corporate resellers, including Ingram Micro and Merisel, as well as retail locations such as CompUSA, Computer City and Office Depot. The HP 360LX has an estimated street price of $699 (U.S.). It is backed by a one-year limited warranty that offers next-day, express-pickup-and-delivery service. HP's color-display palmtop PC, the HP 620LX palmtop PC, is expected to be available in early 1998. For owners of the popular, award-winning HP 320LX palmtop PC, who purchased their units after Sept. 2, 1997, HP offers a coupon for a free Windows CE 2.0 ROM upgrade. Information on HP's ROM upgrade program and additional information on HP palmtop PCs can be found on the World Wide Web at http://www.hp.com/handheld or by calling 800/443-1254.

You would still sell a lot of HP 200 LX computers if people knew they existed. I still can not find them in local computer stores. In many ways the 200 LX is still superior to the new models. Why not give consumers a choice? I can: learn Japanese, translate languages, connect a Newton keyboard, control MIDI instruments, turn my palmtop sideways and read it like a paperback book, improve my mood with GOODMood.exe written by a UCLA Professor, make a plan for owing zilch on my credit cards using ZILCH.exe do project planning brainstorm problems using a special brainstomring program etc., etc. with my HP200LX. I can't do that with the Windows CE machines! Yes, sometimes Windows is appropriate and better than DOS, but often it isn't. I think you could sell more palmtops if you at lease let the average person know that the 200 LX exists. I had to find out the benefits myself through my own research on the Interenet.

The other day I ran a typing test. I was able to type 73 words per minute on the 200LX's keyboard. Total 281 characters (excluding spaces) and average word length was 4 characters. On a desktop, I can type about 90 wpm. So you see, the keyboard can be used effectively.

I don't think so; I've typed pages of text a time before. However, I rarely have any time to type continuously; interruptions usually come up. However, it is harder to hit the backspace key on the 200LX when you make a mistake. Shifting is harder too.

I don't really tire sooner on a 200 - the motions to get your fingers from key to key are greatly reduced on a 6 in x 3 in keyboard. You can drill the sharp ends of those keys right into your fingertips, though. ;) Shifting is kind of a pain but with sticky keys it's a lot easier. Anyone for a shift footswitch? All in all, I think with a bit of practice, a good typing tutor program, and an AC adapter, anyone who can handle the key- board for short periods of time could type quickly on a 200. My recommendation: use 3 fingers on each hand, and your right thumb for the spacebar. And disable the &... key, just try missing that backspace and not noticing it until you've launched four or five other programs. ;) Ian Butler Advanced Software Systems, Inc.

Specifically, is the BIOS in the : chip? I wouldn't think so. Oh well; time to consult the developer docs... I think that the Hornet contains the CGA controller, what passes for a keyboard controller, the UART, the PCMCIA controller, probably some sort of ISA bus, a speaker driver, the 186, and a standard motherboard chipset. If there is a separate ROM chip on the motherboard, that would contain the BIOS and all the builtin programs. I don't have developer docs or anything, but as an avid mess-around-inside-big-computers guy, I'm betting that's what it contains. See, if we could drop in an AMD 486, make the internal bus VESA LB or -- heaven help us -- Micro Channel -- and add _real_ keyboard controllers and a 16550 UART (or a IEEE P1394 controller, the new 100mbit serial protocol) for _both_ IR and serial, integrate an 8-bit Covox-style DAC, and add true PCMCIA socket compatability, we'd be set. The above paragraph could be put on _one chip_, mind you. Pretty impressive, if you ask me. Oh yeah -- also a nice VGA video card like a Cirrus Logic 5428 would work wonders on graphics speed, as would anything that ran off VESA local bus.

Let me correct basic things. LXBAR is not a barcode reader. It is a barcode "viewer", which displays the barcode of the string you enter. > How do I find out what standards a barcode conforms to.

LXBAR supports following barcodes: * USS-39(CODE-39) * USS-CODABAR(NW-7) * USS-I 2/5 * JIS X 0501(JAN) * JAN-SMALL The author apparently implemented the barcodes poplular in Japan and U.S. Probably you can check what is popular in Australia. > I look forward to info from someone who has used this useful tool.

CE, on all these stuffs and many others, stands for "European Community" and this marking is used to prove the device has been checked compliant with European standards, particularly considerring the EMI (electro-magnetic interference) rules. So nothing to do with any M$ product, whatever we could think about them. I think that you, US guys should thank god that M£ never had the idea of giving a name like WIN UL or anything looking like any other US requirements conformity acronym... More of this, I'm a bit surprise seeing the time spent in this group to write (and obviously read) critical reviews of WIN CE. The pro and cons are what they are and well known today... So if you're of the ones who don't like it, why not just ignoring it... and save energy to valuate DOS LX's ?

After looking at the photo, it is very clear where to potential crack is located. The upper case casting is obviously poorly designed in this location, resulting in very high stresses when the case is opened. This is because this is where the thicker hinge material mates with the much thinner outer shell material. Even though my unit does not show any signs of cracking at this time, it is evident that there is a very high potential for a crack to develop. You can even see the location of the potential crack in the outer texture of the case. This is probably because turbulent flow of the plastic during casting. I think that the only reasons that my unit has not developed a crack are: - I am ambidextrous, so I am not always opening the case from one side. - I tend to open the case from the center latch, there-by minimizing torque and distributing the load evenly over both sides of the hinge. It might be interesting to see if any left handed owners have developed case cracking. QUESTION: Does anyone know of an easy way to open the upper case, so that reinforcing material can be added in this location? I was thinking about adding an epoxy paste and spreading the stress over a larger area. --- On Mon, 13 Oct 1997 20:04:35 -0700 David Sargeant wrote: >Okay, I put up a page with a picture and information about the infamous >hinge crack.

The problem is internal HP politics. I am sure that HP was sold a "bill of goods" by MS. Based on that, a decision was made by a HP executive to produce 3x0LX's. Now, regardless of which is better (CE vs 200LX) or of which system is preferred by consumers, HP has made both a political and monetary commitment to the 3x0LX. Therefore, HP is not promoting the 200LX and is hoping that it will GO AWAY! I believe that the magazines are not responsible for the lack of 200LX coverage. I am sure that they are being told by HP that the 200LX is being phased out, that the 3x0LX is better and that they should review the 3x0LX in their articles. --- On Tue, 14 Oct 1997 10:21:45 -0400 Peniel Romanelli wrote: >David Sargeant wrote: > >> I suppose I should be glad HP is improving on the 300 and 320LX, but I >> just can't shake the feeling that they're going full steam ahead on the >> WinCE units and that this spells doom for further production of the >> 200LX... > >That's sure what it looks like.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Since HP has abandoned all marketing efforts, I was wondering if owners on this list would think it worth while to make an effort to promote the 200LX ourselves? For starters, maybe a campaign to write to the editors of various magazines by representatives of the list would be appropriate. Not mass writings. But, a few good quality letters submitted in the name of the list. Another suggestion might be to write articles and submit them to various publications and post them on the Internet. I encourage any comments on this from the list. ______________________________________________ "Michael Stocker" 10/14/97 11:08:46 AM EDT ______________________________________________ -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 14 Oct 1997 10:57:28 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Phil Drummond Subject: Is there any such thing as...

Not exactly. make is a utility used to call other programs that creates executable UNIX code from a source file. What happens is that the programmer creates a "makefile" that lists the depedencies (what source files are needed to make what executables), and only calls the compiler to comile those programs whose source code has changed. > Could something like "make" be created to "port" (another mystical > programming term) MS DOS applications to Weirdness CE? No. This has been covered before. The root of the problem is that the WinCE machines use a different processor that accepts different instructions. There is something called a cross-compiler that will compile executables for a different platform than they were developed on, and in fact that's the way all WinCE apps are written, since no compilers run on them (AFAIK). But to use them, you would need to buy the cross-compuler for a few hundred dollars, and have the source code of the programs to convert. And when you're done, you'll have a lame text-only version of the program, but running on a WinCE machine. You would have to do a fair amount of recoding to turn it into a real windows application. Some work may be needed just to compile it at all. > It seams to me, not being a programmer, or having clue-1 about > programming, that the parameters of DOS and CE must be definable and > some sort of "cross link" table could exist, allowing software intended > for DOS to be changed to work under CE. > No, because different processors "think differently" and have different resoruces at their disposal. ------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer dskramer@concentric.net DK KD http://www.concentric.net/~dskramer DKK D DK KD Today I will gladly share my experience and advice, DDDD for there are no sweeter words than "I told you so." -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 14 Oct 1997 13:07:43 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Quinton Jones Jr Subject: FS: HP100LX 1MB $135 ----- forwarded message ----- From: mikemary@cyberramp.net (Mike Kilpatrick) Newsgroups: comp.sys.palmtops Subject: FS: HP100LX 1MB $135 Date: Tue, 07 Oct 1997 14:22:05 GMT I am selling my backup. 100LX 1MB in excellent shape, with both manuals. $135 plus shipping ($8 for 2-day FedEx).

GDBDUMP writes the database as a comma-separated-variable text file and normally includes the Note field.

Almost all of the control signals are shared between multiple memories. With the HP's DRAM, the only signal that isn't shared is the RAS_, of which the processor has four (that I've identified). This would make soldering a lot easier - bend the leads of the part you're adding and run a jumper to the new RAS_ line. There are two problems, though. The first is that you're limited to the package/pinout that's already on the board. My 200LX contains two 256Kx16 components - so adding 1M isn't all that impressive. The 2M+ machines probably have a lot better memory configuration for doing this sort of thing. The other problem exists on my machine - I don't know about the others. HP did something interesting to make the routing of the memory lines simpler - somehow they contracted Samsung to produce a "mirror image" DRAM package. Basically, all the lines are reversed on one of the two packages so that it's VERY easy to route signals between them. Great from their point of view - but it makes it pretty difficult for us - those mirror image chips wouldn't be available to the public at large. If they're doing something similar with the 2M machine (namely, breaking it into two 1Mx16, one normal, one mirrored chips), then your piggy back idea would very a pretty simple and very cheap way to add 1M to your 2M machine. Or if you're lucky and HP decided they didn't want to pay the NRE money for a mirrored chip, you might be able to add 2M.

Stefan Peichl He needs only to copy one of his similar TSR as template, and then copy some of his interrupt service handlers, modify these handlers according to these facts: 1. Calvin stays in command-mode on start. 2. Calvin calls int 10h, ah=1, ch=3, cl=7 on entering insert mode. 3. Calvin calls int 10h, ah=1, ch=6, cl=7 on returning to command mode. And there it is!

The reports seemed to indicate the units that get the hinge crack the quickest were made after the 12th week of 1996 due to a weaker or thinner plastic. Some reported one could *feel* the difference when pressing on the cases from different units. I propose a survey of those that do/do not have the crack: 1. Model (HP95LX, HP100LX, HP200LX 1mb, 2mb, 4 mb) 2. Unit Manufacture Date (as indicated by first three numbers in serial no.) 3. How many months have you owned the unit? 4. Purchased new, used or HP Exchange? 5. How many months after manufacture date was crack first apparent? - - - - - - - - - - - - I'll start with my experience: 1. Model (HP95LX, HP100LX, HP200LX 1mb, 2mb, 4 mb) - HP200LX 2mb 2. Unit Manufacture Date (as indicated by first three numbers in serial no.) - 510 (10th week of 95) 3. How many months have you owned the unit? - 18 mos. 4. Purchased new, used or HP Exchange? - HP Exchange 5.

My new (although cracked) HP200LX not double speed will run circles around the 320LX and I proved it. There are a lot of others. I use my Palmtop at work. All the replacement parts I use are there, where, how many. How do to calibration on Wedge and Ball bonders both manual and automatic. Plus my check book home inventory Etc. Etc. I could not do this things with the 320LX.

When a macro in invoked in an application, Buddy will run the System Macros application and open the application specific macro file.

In-Reply-To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hey Helmut! Thanks for your input. May I quote you? Perhaps in an article or web page commentary on the HP200LX verus HP320LX debate? What helped me decide to buy 200LX was some comparison one of you guys probably posted on your web site. When I saw that the HP200LX could run DOS and the newer version could not , I stopped and reconsidered. The sales people all said, "You don't want an HP200LX -- that's the older model. " But after some thought it became clear to me that the HP200LX was what I wanted. Still it was a tough decision. These postings about the HP200LX versus the WINCE machiine are valuablet because they may help others decide to get a HP200LX. This will help to keep the HP200LX alive and we will all benefit When I called HP they said that they would continue to support the HP200LX because of the active community of users who really like it. We need to keep them informed and to inform the rest of the world as well. ==> The trick is make some of these postings available to the Internet community -- One way is to summarize them and send articles and summarizes of posting to to print magazines; another way we can enlighten others is to publish comments, editorials, etc on our own web pages and register these pages so that when people search for information about palmtops they will find out about the HP200 LX. My web page is about dance and music, but I am serious considering adding another page about the 200LX. What do you think? Does it make sense to have some pages in a web be off-the main theme of the web? (web=website) I searched the Internet for info before I bought my palmtop. That's why I eventually bought a 200 LX. Whoever it was that posted the detailed comparison of the 200 LX with the 320LX ---- thanks! I owe you!

I saw a magazine devoted to DOS about a year or so ago in a book store in San Mateo. Some people were smirking at it. I marveled that such a mag still existed.

"Cracked" right down inside the cap enclosure - well, broken clean through. Crack not visible with cap on. Still used a lot - have folded Paris buscard in between screen and barrel for friction. Automatic clutch. Also broken screen latch - still works, supported by folded cardboard insert. 200LX 2MB 549 Apr96 Second Hand No crack, despite close study having gone to the web page. 200LX 6MB 627 Apr97 Second Hand No crack. Was a bit stiff when I got it. But one squirt of "CRC" in the right hinge did the trick. Been fine ever since. CRC is probably oil based so not recommended! It's used for loosening rusty bolts and starting cars with damp carburettors.

They also state that they will publish some of the better responses. THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERY ONE ON THE LIST TO JUMP IN AND PROMOTE THE 200LX!!! Just think if everyone on the list replied and stated how there is a great palmtop available today, the 200LX, and why!!! In order to help make sure that your responses are published, my I suggest that we be positive, not focus on the faults of WinCE (the article has already taken care of that), and promote the 200LX in a positive way. Let's everyone jump in a take advantage of this opportunity while it's available. ______________________________________________ "Michael Stocker" 10/15/97 7:35:25 AM EDT ______________________________________________ -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 15 Oct 1997 20:08:15 +0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Raymond Li Subject: Six-Month Calendar Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Is it possible to show appointments in six-month calendar?

What you get are palmtops that exasperate the biggest single problem with palmtops: screen glare. I think the WinCE makers who are starting to make color screens try a non-touchscreen but some sort of touchpad under the keyboard. 2) Why would HP whose palmtops are mainly used by people in scientific and financial fields make a palmtop with without a numeric keypad? Sure I know if you survey ALL users you will find that most people don't need the numeric keypad but HP users are a special breed. The fact is that my HP200 LX if the one of the best financial calculators that I can buy which leads to question 3... 3) Why doesn't HP port over its wonderful calculator to the 300 series? Instead we get a mediocre calculator. I don't want to give up my wonderful calculator. I know someday somebody will make a better calculator for the CE so I know this problem is just temporary. 4) I'm sorry but until some good flat-file database is available, I won't even consider moving to Win CE. If InfoSelect was available for the WinCE, I'd seriously think about going CE. BTW, I'd like to thank all the people (and especially Tom Hoover) who helped me find my database solution, InfoSelect. I'm now a proud user. The only thing I don't like about it is its memory constraints but I can live with that. Hopefully someday either a good Windows Palmtop will be made or Micro Logic will port this puppy to CE land. === Dave Hart (hartd@poboxes.com) Beavercreek (Dayton), OH USA "Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend.

Both held up fine afterwards (knock on wood). I haven't seen any postings of people who repaired cracks only to see it happen again. I wonder if the initial crack relieved the stress sufficient to prevent its recurrence (any experiences otherwise?) For what it's worth to the newly aggrieved (just found your crack). I'm all thumbs with repairs, but a careful drop of superglue with a pin to manipulate the glue and some tissue to blot the excess was all I needed to make a decent fix. "Careful" is the operative word. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 15 Oct 1997 10:15:39 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Glen Bergs Subject: My New HPC MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="---- =_NextPart_000_01BCD953.63189680" ------ =_NextPart_000_01BCD953.63189680 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I have a HP LX200, 320 and sharp wizards before that.

Maybe I missed something (the manual is too > big anyway. (=8 ) My apologies, the information was in the 200LX FAQ (at least in the old one I had dated 12/20/95). I know it's normally in bad taste to quote the FAQ, but this seems to be information that many don't know about and there may be some confusion as to the location of the current FAQ. Keep in mind these instructions pre-dated Win-95: 200LX users may take advantage of the built-in LapLink Remote software in the HP's ROM. A brief sketch of how to do this is: 1. Add the following line to your Palmtop's AUTOEXEC.BAT before sysmgr is started. CALL D:\BIN\LLRAS.BAT Then reboot your palmtop. 2. Copy the following files from D:\BIN on the 200LX to a directory on the PC (use the built-in datacomm application and a terminal emulator, or any other method you choose). LLRA.BAT LLRA1.EXE LLRA2.EXE LLRA3.EXE LLRA4.EXE TSI.INI 3. Edit the TSI.INI file on your PC as follows: In Ýgeneral¨, change ComputerName= to something else (eg desktop) In ÝRedirector¨, change Enabled= to Yes. 4. Edit the LLRA.BAT file on your PC, changing all file paths from D:\BIN to the PC directory you copied them to in step 2. 5. With the PC and palmtop connected via serial cable, enter the AppMgr on the palmtop and start the LapLink Remote Access program. 6. On the PC, change to the directory where you copied the LapLink files, and type "LLRA". In a few seconds you should hear beeps from both the PC and palmtop indicating that a connection has been made. 7. On the PC, type "LLRA /M" to display the drive mapping. 8. To Unload LapLink from the PC, type "LLRA /U". -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 15 Oct 1997 11:40:06 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Peniel Romanelli Subject: Magnify - Info & correction MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi folks- A few weeks ago there was some discussion about ACE products (including Magnify) here on the list.

"My Official HPLX-L Owner's Opinion" I would certianly encourage all members to continue to support the HP DOS/LX series machines in any venue they can. This could include convincing your companys management to use LXs in the field, writing letters, editorials, etc... to periodicals & "Web Magazines", and I suppose contacting HP itself.

Try http://www.palmtop.net/super.html and look for LX TOOLS and LX Fileman. You can also use any datacomm program with zmodem.

Also, based on the replies, I'd like to add a couple items. Revised survey: 1. Model (HP95LX, HP100LX, HP200LX 1mb, 2mb, 4 mb) 2. Unit Manufacture Date (as indicated by first three *numbers* in serial no.) 3. How many months have you owned the unit? 4. Purchased new, used or HP Exchange? 5. How many months after manufacture date was crack first apparent (or NO CRACK)? 6. How often do you estimate the screen is opened per day? 7. Any comments about accidents or how the palmtop was stored. Any compression of the plastic case? Where do you keep it when not in use? A custom soft case? Briefcase? Pocket? After about a week I'll tally the responses and report back the results to the LIST. Perhaps the results could be posted to a web page as well. Maybe David Sargeant will do so at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp/crack.htm?? David's page has a photo and description of the location of the crack. Please take a good look before replying as some people find that the crack is difficult to see.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To All LXers I may be missing something here, but judging by the large number of laptops/notebooks/palmtops out there, how hard can it be for some pipsqueak, upstart company to simply develop an upgraded version of the 200LX? Except for the patents, how hard would it be? The technology is years old already, so any improvement at all would be easy enough to make. It seems to me that the hardest part of it all would be to design and have made (in Japan or Singapore or Malaysia) an esthetic, durable, bulletproof case. Except for IBMs, I haven't seen many American companies do well with this kind of thing. With the miniaturization available today, it could even have a larger battery, internal 56K modem, lots and lots of (cheap) memory, unpluggable parts of everything that might be improved or changed later, lots of ports to communicate with the outside world, etc. The thing to do would be to find out who develops things like this, put it to them properly, and start an alternative movement to Bill Gate's monopoly. The base is already there, but is fading. (Those who know, love, and are comfortable with dos) Even if it never came off as a popular machine, it could come off as the "Cult Alternative" for those who refuse to be put to sleep by crass commercialism for the sleeping masses. And with a little market surveying done properly it might even start a resurgence of the smart man's computer instead of the appliance operators we are getting now.

Model (HP95LX, HP100LX, HP200LX 1mb, 2mb, 4 mb) 2. Unit Manufacture Date (as indicated by first 3 *numbers* in serial no.) 3. How many months have you owned the unit? 4. Purchased new, used or HP Exchange? 5. How many mos. after manufacture date was crack first apparent (or NO CRACK)? 6. How often do you estimate the screen is opened per day? 7. Any comments about accidents or how the palmtop was stored. Any compression of the plastic case? Where do you keep it when not in use? A custom soft case? Briefcase? Pocket? 8. On a scale of 1 to 5, how stiff is the hinge? 1 - The hinge so loose the screen easily falls. 2 - With unit on table, screen at 135 degree angle, finger pressure to top edge of screen opens shell without base moving. 3 - Shell open at 90 degrees, pick up unit by screen top, with a moderate shake downward, shell opens further. 4 - Same as 3, but shell barely moves even with a very sharp downward shake. 5 - Same as 3, but shell doesn't move even with a very sharp downward shake. (So stiff you are afraid the plastic will break even without the crack.) Again, send replies directly to me off the LIST. Thanks, David Runge David.Runge@zool.AirTouch.COM P.S. I'd say my 96 10th week HP200LX is a 4 in stiffness. And my 95 10th week is a 4 too but slightly siffer. Both are HP Express units with no crack - yet. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 15 Oct 1997 14:15:27 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jaime Viehweg Subject: Re: Hinge Crack Survey In-Reply-To: <88256530.0075B8C9.00@notes.airtouch.com>; from David.Runge@ZOOL.AIRTOUCH.COM on Tue, Oct 14, 1997 at 02:54:37PM -0700 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii On Tue, Oct 14, 1997 at 02:54:37PM -0700, David.Runge@ZOOL.AIRTOUCH.COM wrote: 1.

Both held up fine afterwards (knock on wood). I haven't seen any postings of people who repaired cracks only to see it happen again. I wonder if the initial crack relieved the stress sufficient to prevent its recurrence (any experiences otherwise?) For what it's worth to the newly aggrieved (just found your crack). I'm all thumbs with repairs, but a careful drop of superglue with a pin to manipulate the glue and some tissue to blot the excess was all I needed to make a decent fix. "Careful" is the operative word. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 15 Oct 1997 18:50:25 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Helmut Grossinger Subject: Re: Windows CE Comments: To: hartd@ROCKETMAIL.COM In-Reply-To: <19971015134803.7781.rocketmail@web2.rocketmail.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; name="Windows" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi!

Helmut in Colorado ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Windows CE Author: Non-HP-hartd (hartd@ROCKETMAIL.COM) at HP-ColSprings,mimegw1 Date: 10/15/97 7:48 AM I know everyone's gripe on the list about Windows CE is either directed at Microsoft dominance but my gripe with Windows CE (and HP in particular) has four parts: 1) Why does everyone use the touchscreen? What you get are palmtops that exasperate the biggest single problem with palmtops: screen glare. I think the WinCE makers who are starting to make color screens try a non-touchscreen but some sort of touchpad under the keyboard. 2) Why would HP whose palmtops are mainly used by people in scientific and financial fields make a palmtop with without a numeric keypad? Sure I know if you survey ALL users you will find that most people don't need the numeric keypad but HP users are a special breed. The fact is that my HP200 LX if the one of the best financial calculators that I can buy which leads to question 3... 3) Why doesn't HP port over its wonderful calculator to the 300 series? Instead we get a mediocre calculator. I don't want to give up my wonderful calculator. I know someday somebody will make a better calculator for the CE so I know this problem is just temporary. 4) I'm sorry but until some good flat-file database is available, I won't even consider moving to Win CE. If InfoSelect was available for the WinCE, I'd seriously think about going CE. BTW, I'd like to thank all the people (and especially Tom Hoover) who helped me find my database solution, InfoSelect. I'm now a proud user. The only thing I don't like about it is its memory constraints but I can live with that. Hopefully someday either a good Windows Palmtop will be made or Micro Logic will port this puppy to CE land. === Dave Hart (hartd@poboxes.com) Beavercreek (Dayton), OH USA "Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend.

Perl compiles source in memory each time it's run, so it's slow to start then once it's running it's much faster. So the larger the input file the better you are off with perl. I just like being able to substitute 50K programs with one-line batch files. I've found that I no longer want a C compiler on my palmtop now that I have perl, too. ------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer dskramer@concentric.net DK KD http://www.concentric.net/~dskramer DKK D DK KD Today I will gladly share my experience and advice, DDDD for there are no sweeter words than "I told you so." -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 15 Oct 1997 22:35:43 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Ken A.

On the other hand, those who have enjoyed the versitility of the HP200LX PIM with Month-at-a-glance, etc, etc. will (like myself) easily return to the DOS platform. What amazes me is that it took the latest version to include the month-at-a-glance.

Yes, it makes most of us WinCE. It seems to be the most important issue of the day, being seen to be tied up inexorably with the future of the 95/100/200LX series of palmtops. I had hoped to gather more definite thoughts and suggestions together, but the recent announcement on the 13th of October of the new 360LX and proposed 620LX, together with several messages in the Mailing List, particularly those from Ian Butler and Michael Stocker, makes me feel that it's time to help generate action - even if only to give an outline of ideas at this stage - to see what can be done about the future of the X00LX series. There is no doubt that people are passionately fond of their traditional DOS-based palmtops. This is epitomised in a contribution from Danny Gaudenti on Wednesday, 16 July 1997. He quoted a previous source who had just glued the crack in his beloved palmtop and added another line: << ...and it seems to be holding. I did have a nightmare last night that the crack had opened again but I awoke in a cold sweat only to find that it was fine. < And that's how you know your palmtop has become the most important thing in your life, when you have dreams/nightmares about it? The recent messages from Ian Butler and Michael Stocker have begun to suggest action, rather than words, which is what is needed. The results of action relating to that other problem can already be seen in the beginnings of a survey list of crack sufferers. However, as well as a writing campaign aimed at magazines etc., surely it's Hewlett Packard that we should be aiming directly at if we want the 400LX to be a reality? It seems probable that a certain party has Gates-crashed on HP's plans for the future and now all we are likely to get is Windows-dressing. After all, business is business. It's all about money. Therefore it has got to be demonstrated to Hewlett Packard that there is money (and future customers in the long term) in continuing the current line after the 200LX. Hewlett Packard must know how many units they've sold of the relatively unique style of X00LX palmtops. Now they are in competition with other producers using a compatible platform and will presumably soon be able to judge their share of this new market, which might not be in volume terms as much as before. What they can't tell is the volume of support that they might get by sticking to production of the X00LX palmtops, or even producing them simultaneously with the CE line. This is what we have to give them some idea of. In other words, we have to do their market research for them. I suspect that Hewlett Packard would need to know not just how many potential customers there are, but their level of commitment - that's the big word. So we need to provide them with tangible evidence of sufficient numbers and sufficient commitment, to have any hope of preserving the future of the X00LX. In a nutshell, we need to produce a world list of current users (real names) who are prepared to give an indication of intent to buy an upgrade. This may sound almost preposterous as no-one could be held to that intention, but if you put yourself in Hewlett Packard's position, would you settle for anything less? And we still don't know what the minimum number for viability might be, either. If we can get a list of users with crack problems, as seems to be gathering momentum, could we also manage to get a register of "committed" future customers? We do indeed need volunteers to write to all possible magazines etc and to approach all the users' groups and mailing lists, but first of all I respectfully suggest that we need a plan of action. Several aspects spring to mind. Perhaps we need to have a survey on a "wish list" of items for an upgraded X00LX by sending out a questionnaire to all these magazines. This could include the oppotunity to register an expression of interest in such an upgrade. Although I would be prepared to commit myself to actually buying an upgrade (my 100LX won't last forever), it's not likely that many others would; but there appears to have been sufficient expression of interest in the backlighting project to keep it alive. I therefore think that ultimately we have to be able to produce a list of interested customers to have any hope of influencing Hewlett Packard; and that is a big undertaking. Anyway, I think I've said enough for one day.

I have a HP200LX with 1mg RAM, and have a double flash 5mg PCMICIA card. Does the PCMICIA card increase the 1mg RAM to 5 (or 10 when doubled), or would getting the 8mg upgrade increase performance while using the card?

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=us-ascii In your case, I recommend sticking with using a RAM card. My experience has been that information stored on a RAM card is more secure than on system RAM. If the 200LX crashes, the files on the RAM card are typically not affected while all system RAM data can be lost. Some people on the list have reported files becoming corrupted while writing to a RAM card. However, this has never been my experience in over 4 years of use. Also, I am using a 4MB 200LX and daily save zipped copies of all my data files to both my system RAM and RAM card, and back the complete system up weekly. --- On Thu, 16 Oct 1997 06:09:58 -0400 "S.

I've seen this happen before. Any of you remember the Commodore Amiga? An interesting machine, superior to its contemporaries in many ways. A very loyal following. And getting left behind by the juggernaut led by the IBM PC and Microsoft DOS. The Amiga fans continued in their little world, writing letters to magazines, sneering at the PCs and Macs, etc. Even the PC compatibles made by Commodore were scorned by the Amiga faithful. Then Commodore pulled the plug on the Amiga. Sorry, for you non-native English speakers out there, Commodore killed the Amiga. Discontinued it. Quit making, marketing, and selling them. Concentrated on the PC compatibles instead. Why did Commodore discontinue the Amiga? One BIG reason was the loyal, faithful fans. One Commodore big-wig, explaining the decision, said something like, and I paraphrase, "Those d**n people never did a d**n thing for us!" Seem familiar? Put HP for Commodore, 200LX for Amiga, and WinCE for PC/DOS and I start to get a bad feeling of deja vu. (For you French readers out there, I apologize for not accenting that properly.) Now, I never owned a Commodore machine, I don't know exactly what the big-wig was referring to, and I don't know exactly where I first encountered the story. But If find the web site or the history book again, I'll let you know. I want the 200LX to continue and evolve. I have a bet with an IBM'er that says DOS will outlast OS/2.

Cavendish" Subject: ANNOUNCING HP 260LX PALIO ALTERNATE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 1st, 1997-- Hewlett-Packard Company today introduced the HP 260LX Palmtop PC with Micro$oft(r) DOS 6.2, expanding to its award-winning family of DOS Palmtop PCs. HP leads the palmtop PC market by concentrating on key customer needs, such as screen size, quality, total cost of ownership, and a variaty of operating systems. The HP 260LX offers such breakthrough features as a full-width, 16-greyscale, high-contrast screen with natural-white backlight. In late 1997, HP expects to further enhance its palmtop PC line with the HP 260LXC, a color-display model. "HP is a recognized leader in the palmtop PC category, having now turned from Windozs CE to deliver a full-width, 640- x 240-pixel screen to the DOS market," said Dennis Hamann, worldwide marketing manager of HP's Asia Pacific PC Division. "By advancing the role of the DOS palmtop and offering a new color model, HP substantially advances its leadership position in the handheld industry." THE HP 260LX PALMTOP PC BREAKS GROUND Based on the DOS 6.2 operating system, the HP 260LX offers corporate customers significant advantages in mobile computing, including easy PC synchronization and compatibility with familiar 3rd party business applications. HP will not need to to deliver new software to manage the HP 260LX palmtop PC as a component on the business, scientific or educational environment. The ability to support fully mature software will lower a corporation's total cost of ownership of computing products, while giving network administrators a simple, standardized means of managing the computing assets. Other advantages of the HP 260LX palmtop PC include the high-contrast display with 16 grey shades, increasing visibility and clarity. A month-view PIM has been standard for years. A dedicated storage slot for CompactFlash cards will leave the PC card slot free for a modem connection. The HP260LX palmtop PC also comes with 16MB of RAM; 10MB of ROM; and an improved Hornet chip with an integrated 80486 class processor, which significantly enhances performance and speed. HP'S GROWING PALMTOP PC FAMILY: VALUE, PERFORMANCE AND COLOR HP secured and solidified its industry leadership with products such as its scientific calculator, circa 1972, and its DOS-based palmtop PCs. HP took the handheld category down a blind alley with the introduction of its Micro$oft Windows CE-based palmtop PCs -- including the HP 320LX, the first wide-screen, Windows CE palmtop PC. HP is no correcting its admitted error by bringing the useful features of its HP 300LX series to the DOS environment. Coming in late 1997, HP's palmtop PC family will further advance the industry with the addition of a color-display model, the HP 260LXC palmtop PC. AVAILABILITY, PRICING AND SUPPORT The HP 260LX palmtop PC is expected to ship in late 1997 and will be available through corporate resellers, as well as retail locations. The HP 260LX has an estimated street price of $499 (U.S.). The low initial price is intended to appologize to the 200lx's loyal customer base for the foolish foray into the WinCE OS. It is backed by a ten-year unlimited warranty that offers same-day, express-pickup-and-delivery service. HP's color-display palmtop PC, the HP 260LXC palmtop PC, is expected to be available in early 1998. For owners of the popular, award-winning HP 200LX palmtop PC, who purchased their units at any time, HP offers a free 260LX upgrade. Information on HP's upgrade program and additional information on HP palmtop PCs can be found on the World Wide Web at http://www.hp.com/back_on_track, or by calling 800/im-sorry. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 16 Oct 1997 15:09:13 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Dan Ridenhour Subject: Re: ANNOUNCING HP 260LX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit This was cruel! ---------- > From: Lynn M.

People's eye's do gloss over as the= y discount overzealous pushers of any technology. The HP200LX did so well, and did so without marketing because of the benefits it provides and its features. HP doesn't have the time or inclination to put a lot of effort into continued development on what is essentially a discontinued platform. But they have to their great credit said they will continue to make the 200LX as long as people continue to b= uy them. Results gets more attention than noise. To get results, find narrow marke= ts that can benefit from palmtops, then hook up with a vendor to pitch to th= at market. There are still plenty of smaller vendors who will support and se= ll the existing platform as well as the newer platforms.

Sorry but you have your facts a little mixed up. Commodore never discontinued the Amiga, they went out of business. Another company bought just the Amiga part and started to do some development but they over extended themselves so they sold the Amiga part to Gateway, yes the cow people that make the line of PC compatible computers. I hardly think if the Amiga was a dead end Gateway would purchase it and commit money to new models and production. The main problem Commodore had with the Amiga was an age old one, lack of proper marketing. The IBM PC didn't become the hugh success it is because of technical merit or cost effectiveness, it became big because it was from IBM. The same goes for all Microsoft products, they are seldom the best at what they do and quite often are very buggy but they are marketed VERY well and so people buy them in droves. WinCE will probably be the same way. Pete Peter W.

As space was getting scarce I bought a IBM SSF 40 MB card from Pretec. I have several questions for those who are already using this card: 1. When I used the card in my notebook it was recognized not as a flash card but as a IDE device and it installed a driver I suppose was in= the card itself in a hidden directory. Question: can I format this card= on the palmtop if the need arises? And can I compress it with stacker when I need to? 2. Has anyone experienced a shorter battery life with this Pretec card? I have not used a set of batteries yet but I noticed that the drop in voltage after the first use of the serial port was bigger than that with the previous card. Does this Pretec card draws more power from= the 200LX? Any information and comments would be appreciated. Antonio ________________________________________________ Antonio Queiroz Menezes M.Sc.

As to the voltage drop, a genuine Pretec card doesn't use that much.

Well I was not going to tell, but here it is. Yesterday morning I went shopping at our local Home Base Hardware store. Came out with some bulky stuff and my Palmtop nice and need in a leather case was in the way. So I put it on the top of the car and yes I drove away without first latching on to my 200LX. Got home and now I was looking for the Palmtop no where to be found. Back to Home Base I went no one had seen my trusty machine. Now in that leather case are my drivers license, Military ID card, two credit cards, my second Flash card ETC. I was down in the dumps like never before. Went to work late 6:00PM. at 6:30 PM I got a phone call. Answered it and a male voice says did you loose something this morning? Yes, Yes do have a black leather case one side billfold the other a computer. The voice tells me his address and I can pick it up this morning because he is also going to work. Sure enough this morning went to the address and he gave me my Palmtop. All the money credit cards everything there. Now this Palmtop owner is back in heaven.

Borders" Organization: Business Division - TCC VB Subject: New Palmtop? E.Com Discovery I was just looking through my backlog of weekly pc mags and I came across an article that was very interesting. In the August 11, 1997 (Volume 14, Number 34) issue of PCWeek on page 8 there is an article about a new palmtop computer from an Oregon based startup, E.Com International, called Discovery. The specs look rather interesting but the price is a little steep. It is described as a 28oz palmtop with both keyboard and touch screen input. It has an AMD386 running at 33MHz, a backlit LCD 480x320, runs DOS6.22 and Windows3.1 and has a build in Motorola DataTAC wireless modem for access to Email and the WEB via the ARDIS radio network. It also has a NiMH battery with advanced power management to allow it to run for 30 hours while sending and receiving data via the radio modem. It states that it can run up to 100 hours in standby mode. The major drawbacks as I see them are the weight, 28 ounces, and the price which is projected to be $1200. The company also says they will run the 32 bit version of Windows CE when it is available early next year. This might be something to look into, of course the company may have already disappeared as startups often do. Pete Peter W.

Also, as I said before, flash sucks power when you write because it has to "fry" the old data before it can "burn-in" new stuff. Most flash cards will tell you how many writes they get in a lifetime, and all that I know about have unlimited reads. : 3. What is a good source of flash RAM cards? I wish I knew.

A: 1 - Flash RAM is (quite a bit) cheaper & available in larger sizes, But SRAM does have it's own battery. Notebook owners may consider this to be a disadvantage, but I have ordered a 1meg SRAM for $30 used for this very reason. They do not kill the precious batteries on your palmtop. I intend on using my modem and an SRAM card in my doubleslot on the 200LX. The modem draws enough power as it is, and it will be nice to know the sram card isn't adding to that draw. I think that Flash RAM is fine, but that one should also have an SRAM card on hand for low power use.

Probably a year ago no one would even be enticed by the thing sitting there, or even know what it was or what it's value was to think to steal it. Really, we have the proliferation of winCE devices to thank for that. Yeah -- lets blame Microsoft. That is sort of sarcasm but not entirely.

I can't believe this. The time I know the feeling. I bought mine in Sept. 1996 (actually, I had one before, but had to sell it in summer 1995, after running out of money. :) Anyway, I put all of my notes in it for my first semester of college. Two weeks after I bought it, on a Saturday, I went to review for a big test on Monday. Unit wouldn't turn on. CTRL-SHIFT-ON didn't work. Took out the batteries... didn't work. Left them out for hours... didn't work. In desperation, I went to Office Depot and bought a 1MB model on my credit card to tide me over until I could exchange the 2MB version. When I got home, I opened up my old unit, popped in the batteries, and it came up fine. Didn't even lose the data! Needless to say, the 1MB model found its way back to Office Depot the same day. Okay, now here's an idea. What if we started up a little palmtop insurance group? The 200LX's are durable enough that it could actually work. We could set up a dedicated savings account and have each person put in a small amount, such as $50. Then, if your palmtop ever fails and isn't under warranty, you could draw the repair fee out of the account. Of course, I'm not an expert in finance or insurance or anything... maybe I'm way off base here. Anybody got any ideas? -- Visit the HP200LX site at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 16 Oct 1997 22:43:42 -0300 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Martin Sebastian Subject: nostalgy.......old games for palmtop..... hi dear palmtoppers ! looking for old games, in "abandonware" sites, i've downloaded tons of old games since 1987 and older they run fine on the palmtop, and they are small-size too. i have : prince on persia 1 motocross rally tons of cars "racing" games and all kind of adventure, action, and "thinking" games, etc. if anyone is interested, drop me a line here, or in my private email remember that i'll make a zip file with all the games, you have to choose what you need, from there, sorry for this, but is the only way to make it faster, for you, and for me. and please wait a couple of days for delivery.... :) martin marseb@giga.com.ar -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 16 Oct 1997 22:10:44 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Darren Frick Subject: GEOS MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I remember GEOS for the C-64 and thought it was cool.

I have loaded New Deal Office 97 on an ATA card and it will work on the palmtop but it is pretty slow. You need to get the program from the SUPER site that allows you to turn off the palmtop. I can't remember the name at the moment...SLEEP maybe? A problem I had when using the SLEEP program is the internal clock goes to sleep also and I had to reset the date/time whenever I shut the palmtop off while NDO was loaded. If you have a large enough card (10MB or better) you can try out their free version (New Deal Publisher) to get a feel for the performance.

I had a look at the article referred to in "Goldern Opportunity" post, requesting alternatives to WinCE. It talked about the chicken-and-egg problem of new OS's - but then claimed that the real problem was "neither fish-nor-fowl": palmtops were too large to be truly convenient (unlike the hugely successful pilot); and too small to type on easily! Well, obviously the hp200lx et al. solves the chicken-and-problem (there is probably much more DOSware around than Win95 & Win3.1 combined); but that's not the real problem in that writer's opinion. On the 'real problem' of size, the hp200lx is the best of the bunch in weight etc; BUT the keyboard is much smaller than it need be: all those function keys and the numeric pad. I know it's useful at times, but so is a larger keyboard - and it gets used a lot more often. A Newton keyboard does solve this half of the problem - but at the cost of a cable and almost doubling the weight and size. Not a mainstream solution. The hp200lx family is cool. There is no doubt about it. But it is more like something imagined from the last century than the next... I too would like the 200LX evolve. But I don't think it will. HP might make the most minor improvements (eg more memory); but they won't undertake a bigger project like redesigning the keyboard. Nor make another edition of the whole thing, integrating software, hardware IO, etc, etc. Most people found DOS hard to use; it's not coming back. But it will remain a backwater for enthusiasts; just like the Amiga. Only much, much bigger. A unix or NT palmtop will be the next big thing. 5 years. Til then, nothing will touch the hp200lx. Just my HO. -- Brendan Macmillan bren@cs.monash.edu.au -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 16 Oct 1997 19:52:39 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: TekLab Account Subject: Re: GEOS In-Reply-To: <3446C937.1C89D3F7@accessnv.com> from "David Sargeant" at Oct 16, 97 07:11:03 pm Content-Type: text > I remember a thread about this a while back.

Anyone know where we could get Geoworks Ensemble for the HP?

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Well, the HP 200LX comes with a global password, and "manual" and "automatic" settings, in addition to the passwords that one may set on one's Quicken files. Before leaving the house I always - when I remember at least - activate the global password, and the flash card (with recent backups) remains at home, so exposure is somewhat reduced over what would have been possible otherwise.
