Don't ask - make me an offer. For those with more patience than money: I'll repost with prices in a week or two for the remaining parts. And for those with sufficient stamina to read until here: Still available five (5) of the small adapters to convert a 200LX cable to a 95LX cable: These are still priced at 1 picture postcard from your area each ( this includes shipping!)! Conditions: Payment by Paypal or Direct Bank Transfer ( \berweisung, Giro, etc) - cheques are too much of a hassle. Shipping to EU insured is about 30 Euro for a 200LX, USD35 to the rest of the world for a non-mailbox package. If the order fits in an envelope, it is a lot cheaper!!

The voltage regulator needs a minimum voltage to work properly. All above has to be innihilated and makes the circuit hotter.

The user can be sure that the voltage could drop or rise a little and all will work. From the viewpoint of producing heat a voltage near the lower limit of the specifications would be better. cheers, Werner -- Powered by Pegasus Mail - free at Homepage: SMS:<+436646340014@text.mobilkom.at> ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2002 14:40:21 +0200 Reply-To: Thomas Rundel Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Thomas Rundel Subject: Re: Compuserve & ACCIS 4.0c Comments: To: Bob Newins MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Bob, > ACCIS starts, dials, connects.

If you dial into a regular Compuserve node the standard "CompuServe" script which comes with acCIS should work fine. But you should never change the password by editing the acCIS configuration file directly, as the password is stored encrypted. Instead, use the acCIS setup program and enter your new password there.

Either Ctrl-Alt-Del (the standard warm boot), or if it doesn't react on this, try Ctrl-Shift-On (left shift key) and answer "n" when it asks if the C: drive should be initialized. If it doesn't ask, you could not have saved your data anyway. Good luck!

Sometimes I get far behind in reading messages on this list (as I am now). Since I have POST/LX sort messages by subject, messages that have subjects that start later in the alphabet sometimes do not get read right away. I usually don't reply to very old messages, but some do seem to be worth a reply, even after 3 or four months, if I don't see an appropriate response. I am working to catch up and hope to be able stay current in the future.

Last weekend (night from saturday to sunday to be exact) Europe changed to DST. My palmtop changed it's internal clock after having launched Worldtime (I guess the info was taken from my c:\_dat\timezone.dat, which is almost the same as your dst.dat, where you added NZ). Now after the palmtop's internal clock has been changed to DST, clocks displays the time with 1 hour in advance, i.e. if we have 1pm, clocks shows 2pm. This is valid for all timezones, incl. Wellington (at least according to Worldtime). All timezones are shown 1 hour ahead! I don't use the macro with worldtime, I just started the myclocks.bat file of your package and set Zurich to local time (with Shift-c). What am I doing wrong?

I have now found a nominal 12 V supply with the correct plug and polarity already fitted ans can discard the unit that came with the HP from the previous owner. But still, that malfunction isn't the correct way for the unit to react and even if another supply will hopefully not trigger it there is something not quite rigt and might get worse, so I'd prefer knowing what it is. When it happens the internal meter reads far too low a voltage and (I presume as a result) drives the screen completely black.

[...] I'm sorry, but inside HP200Lx IS a switching power supply and also have step-up and step-down functions. Inside HP200LX you can find 3.3; 5; 12; -12 and -5 volts as you can get from an ATX power supply (but not capable to shrink those high currents that desktops needs!). And current load have same switching noise when using batteries as using AC adapter (my oscilloscope says this...). More when using an CF card that draws more current (Sandisk 8Mb have no change on battery life, but memorex 64Mb minus 20% battery life). And this its more visible when charging... Seems to have an switching power supply! P.D.: Sorry, but by an error I sent it also in private.

Well, I am using WWW/LX and POST/LX. And, I think I am using all the information about the message that POST/LX provides. Are you saying that POST/LX is not a "decent" mailer ? If so, I think you should take that up with the author. I believe that POST/LX has always been accepted as a suitable reader and mailer for this group.

I am not familiar with this phone, but you said they had a cable to connect the phone to a standard laptop. You can use that cable with the standard LX-to-PC serial cable and a null modem adapter. That is how I connect my Motorola Startac phone to my LX. You will not find a phone-to-LX cable because the L is an officially an "obsolete" machine.

Did you always wait for 2-3 seconds after power on before measuring the voltage? At least the Sundisk cards should power down by themselves after some seconds (my 96 MB CF card does). LXCIC/S can also tell you, if your card powered down. Access the card and call immediately LXCIC/S. It will tell you "Card powered". Then wait for 2 seconds and call LXCIC/S again. My Sundisk CF now reports "Card power down". Indeed you have to run LXCIC from your C: drive and your path should have no A: references, otherwise loading LXCIC from the card or searching the card would always power it on.

What a wonderful idea! Maybe if only 2 200LXs and an Omnibook 800CT are connected, the current needed is so small that the fan of the power supply can be switched off without danger of overheating the thing? 12V @ 3A seems a bit low, since the PC power supplies are rated at 150-200W (newer even 250W). Is the power you can suck from them divided over the different voltage outlets? If not, even almost 20A should be possible at a 12V line... The OB800 power supply is rated at 3.3A, the palmtop power supply 0.75A. So for an OB and a palmtop you would need never more than abt. 4A.

I would open it and look for the failure. The plastic sheets on screen and keyboard can be aattached again after a removal, they are glued with double-adhesive tape, and it is still adhesive after removal, even if not as strong as before. Maybe the motherboard has lost a memory daughterboard entirely or partially, this could cause the board not fo work anymore. Easy to be fixed, if that should be the case. Or a power wire is broken. Did you try with batteries _and_ with AC adapter? Did neither of them work? You can try to find out if the screen is damaged, and the other things are still working: Plug in AC or batteries, (the "welcome to your new 200LX" message would appear after booting) press enter a few times to "enter" your personal data, then answer "y" when the palmtop asks if the data are correct, then you should be in SysMgr, showing the top card.

What are you planning to do? IR.EXE can have some problem,s, because it is, as far as I understand, only an "ultra light OBEX" implementation which is lacking several things. It should work in general, but not in every case. In case you plan to connect to the Internet with the LX and the T39, I would suggest trying WWW/LX. This is what most of us use. You need a special WWW/LX version with a work around for an Ericsson firware bug, if you want to use GPRS. For GSM, you can use the normal version. For testing if it works at all you can even use a non-registered WWW/LX. Try this setup: [IrDA] Port=-1 OmniGo=0 Modem=0 PPP=1 Baud=38400 My_IP=0.0.0.0 DNS_IP=0.0.0.0 DNS2_IP=0.0.0.0 Script=CHAP_Script ModemInit=AT&F Dial=ATDTxxxxxx Login=xxxxx Password=xxxxxx replace the xxxxx strigs by valid ones, the password must be encrypted, see WWW documentation for this. > I know that the LX sees "something", because if I remove the T39 from > the line of sight > it never gets past the "Opening IrDA for OBEX receive..." message. Did you try the opposite way - sending an OBEX object? > Am I missing something obvious here ? What am I supposed to see if this > works. Can the infrared port > be disabled in the LX ? On the other hand as described above the LX > seems to see the T39 alright, so > that's probably not the problem. Is there a handshake problem ? Read anything about the IR port on http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/ir_dev Then you understand, that _actually_ the phone cannot recognize the LX by simly launching the so-called IrDA "discovery" mechanisms (sending a request to identify and the other device identifies by sending a short string, then the used baud rate is negotiated and so on). Unless IR.EXE emulates this IrDA behaviour. I don't know if it does. The port can be disabled, you can explicitly enable it to be sure it is on by using Stefan Peichl's LXPRO or SETCOM1 (peichl.hplx.net). But actualy I don't think this is the problem. Did you try another T39 or another LX to be sure it is not a hardware problem? > Is this setup very sensitive to the relative position of the devices ? > I have tried holding them up almost against each other (obviously with > the IR ports facing each other), > I have tried placing them with a distance of 30 cm, and I have tried > anything in between. Also try 50cm. Maybe you suffer from the EMI problem. http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/emi But _actually_ you should not, because this is only relevant during a voice or data connection between phone and network provider. But under extremely bad circumstandes, even the periodically sent small data packets between phone and network could maybe disturb the IrDA connection, too. You can check that with Stefan Peichl's RING.COM.

And, you have to choose the network interface card with care, since most will require more power than the 200LX can provide. Go to www.hplx.net/faq.networking.html for a discussion of hardware and software that works on the 200LX. Note that since this FAQ was written, at least one new low power NIC has been developed.

(I salvaged two free that way....). Also _especially_ look into old external CD, tape drive and disk cases. The older, the more 12V vs 5V they supply, in a beautiful small power supply package. They are usually even better (and smaller) than old PC supplies. Usually the max 12V power is indicated. If you exceed that, they usually switch off without burning a fuse. The max load depends on the Stabilizer (7812 / 7912 type) used, plus it's cooling . Just overload and see what happens. If it burns out, test further with the next free power supply.

For what it's worth: Today I had the chance to try a Nokia 6310 of a friend with the HPLX and found that it also seems to require the modified version of WWW.EXE, which has the work-around for the Ericsson firmware bug. I tried with that version with the same setup as I use for my T39, and GPRS worked. Then I tried with the "normal" www.exe and it didn't. Same symptom as you describe. Hangs on Negotiating LCP. So maybe Nokia firmware has the same bug? Ir - maybe it isn't a real bug, but only a different way of implementation of the PPP protocol? Another way of interpreting the PPP specification?..... If Ericsson AND Nokia show the same problem, it may not be a real bug. It would be interesting to know how that workaround works, so we could investigate a little further where the problem in the firmware is.

It was the ISA bus, which made the IBM PC eat all the other microcomputer platforms; breadbox machines with no standard universal expansion plug just disappeared.

I got my 200LX back in 1997 and have been using it more or less continuously ever since, save for some attempts with a Toshiba Libretto and a Powerbook. I used to be active on this list before ... remember being on the beta list for some of Rod Whitby's stuff. Anyway, enough of that. I've become interested in building a generic IrDA serial stack and API for connecting to mobile phones, that can then be used to link to terminal emulators and PPP stacks etc. Right now the only stuff is ir.exe and WWW/LX, which although good stuff, is rather limiting in that it's fixed to OBEX and PPP use. So, I have started messing around with IrLAP to see if I can get a connection. According to IrLAP 1.1, p89, contention traffic is at 9600 baud. Setting up the port and pointing it at a Win95 laptop with IrDA extensions, I can see XID negotiation frames coming up. But with a Nokia 6210, I get nothing . Yes, the phone is in IrDA mode(!), and works with WWW/LX. Does anyone know why this might be, or can you try it with your own phone/palmtops and let me know if you see frames being transmitted? I'm not going to get too far with this if I can't get any data out of the phone!

You need to ask Verizon if they provide dial-up service and if it will cost extra. I have Time Warner cable modem service, not DSL. The original ISP on the service was Road Runner, and they did not provide any dial-up service. I had to therefore pay another ISP, Compuserve in my case, so I had Internet access when I was traveling. When Time Warner bought AOL, the government forced Time Warner AOL to open their cable lines to other ISPs. This was done to prevent the new company from forcing every Time Warner cable customer to become an AOL customer. One of those "new" ISPs is Earthlink. Earthlink has a large number of dial-up access points since they started as a dial-up provider. My deal Earthlink is that for the same cost as the old Time Warner Road Runner service I now have high speed, always on Earthlink at home over my Time Warner cable modem and unlimited use of the Earthlink dial-up network in the US. If you want to keep your AT&T service for dial-up, you can do that also (at extra cost, of course). You will be able to download your AT&T e-mail using the Verizon DSL service. To send e-mail, you will have to use the Verizon SMTP server when you are connected via your DSL system, but you can specify your Reply To address as your AT&T address in your e-mail program, and people receiving your e-mail will think it is coming from your AT&T account.

Now I am just waiting impatiently for my 200LX to arrive. Once you start using the LX and see what potential it has you may wish for 'more' than what you've got. Some common upgrades are: 1. 32Meg (or 64Meg) addition. Instead of a 1.3Meg C: drive, you get that small space moved to F: and the additional 32Meg shows up as C:. 2. The LX builtin apps are very good but you can do so much more by using DOS programs. However the Appmgr DOS box is small and shutting it down to get back to pure DOS is a pain. Software Carousel gives you task switching so you can have multiple DOS sessions open and switch between them. You'll wish you had the 32Meg upgrade for swap space but it can still be useful even on a small LX. 3. Want to email and usenet newsgroups on your LX? Get WWW/LX.

As I remember it the Omnigo isn't a dos computer. It's OS is Geos. Geos does sit on top of dos so there is a dos underneath but I doubt that it's easy to get to and even if you do I doubt that it's very useful. I've never used an Omnigo but I do have some experience with a Tandy Zoomer which uses a similar configuration. Dos was there and with some trickery you could get to it but it was just play. You couldn't really use it. Also I remember the Omnigo getting a lot of criticism for having a very low contrast screen. A lot of people said they weren't able to use it. Also there were a lot of complaints about the Grafitti imlementation being unreliable. Unless you specifically want an Omnigo, or you're just curious and $45 is ok for curiosity, I'd do a little research. There are a lot of sites for it. Do a Google search.

No, it won't run DOS programs at all, generally speaking. The screen is totally non-standard and, while that doesn't matter on a Windows machine, it's death to DOS programs. Basically the machine is good for playing touch-screen solitaire, and that's about it. > 5) can it run win3.0? No. > BTW, the April fool about SUPER did give me a scare.

I do all my networking on a command line based unix host, and use a program called screen which allows me to pick up my session from wherever i connect. so no matter where I am, i can ssh home, attach my screen, and checkup mail, do text based web browsing, irc, and work on projects. I prefer this method to doing everything (anything) on the lx as it allows me to always have the same tools available from anywhere, and I don't have to worry about syncing important email. it also reduces the space needed on the hplx and moves all the complex stuff to a machine with better resources. Unfortunately, a single speed hplx is not a heavy computation beast, and ssh runs a bit on the slow side. Still, it's fast enough to get me connected, and over slower links it's not even an issue. I also keep a copy of ftp and a small telnet client for emergencies. 4. games. I keep one game on the c: drive until i tire of it, and keep the rest on a: 5. the flash card. couldn't live without it. all my ebooks and documentation is kept on a 10mb jam drive which i maximize every few months. bin -I also keep a bin directory with all my standard dos utils and my lesser used hplx utils. ~3.5mb net -all my working dos net programs go in here. ~2.5mb jam -i load the jam drivers of the flash card, since if i boot without the flash card the drivers aren't very useful. ~175k tc -turbo c 2.0 with some extras. ~1mb vr -i use vr a LOT. on the flash card i keep all the extra fonts not normally used. ~160k Living with a 20mb card for a long time, I haven't expanded this too much. I also backup the c: drive to the flash card before moving the flash card to the pcmcia reader at home for quick backups. As you can see, I don't regularly make use of many programs these days. for a long time i was trying to make my hplx replace my desktop. over time, my desktop went from where i did everything to a client to a unix machine where i do everything. So they're now replacable, except i need a desktop for multimedia and i need my hplx for reading. --francois On Wed, Apr 03, 2002 at 02:40:48AM +0000, Russel Brooks wrote: > Stephanie Maks wrote: > > Thank you to everyone who has answered my questions and directed me to some > > great web sites.

This is basically true and okay, we are of course open for corrections and criticism. And I can understand that people don't want their personal data to be distributed via such a database. But Bob and I agreed that it would be for all people the easiest way if we do it the way we did: First ask on the list, if anyone DOESN'T want to be included with the "Around the world" info he has posted. No one mailed us. Then we put together the database, put it on my homepage, without any link or description, asked all of you to download it, gave the password ONLY HERE in the list, and asked all of you to see if your entries are ok. Bob received some - but not many - emails and corrected everything. Actually it is only feasible to include personal data in such a database with permission of every single person, that's true. But Bob and I thought it is something different here in this list, because we all know each other fairly well already, respect each other, and so we thought it would be enough to ask if anyone included in the datbase does NOT agree with his inclusion. It may not be enough, it seems. So, the database is removed from its original place. I have modified it a bit and offer it for download again _unofficially_ on http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/hplxudb.zip The password is changed to "unofficial". So, we ask you again to download it, review your entry and send correction requests back to Bob. And in addition, we will wait how this discussion evolves, and what your opinions are about that problem. I don't think it is feasible to ask every single person for permission (almost 300 entries), so I think if the discussion shows that we cannot post the database without every person's permission, we will drop the project. This is all said without Bob's permission, ;-) because people asked me to act quickly modifying their database entries. So Bob, what's your opinion? And BTW: The subscribers list, which can be requested from the list server, shows that about 570 people are currently subscribed to the list. So we have about 50% of all HPLX-L subscribers in the HPLX users database. If we decide the project to continue, I would like to encourage the other 50% to let themselves be added to the database.

The LX takes a negative tip 12V, e.g. you make _ground_ the main, and the +12V becomes ground for the LX. The modem is most probably a positive tip 5V. Ground is then 0V. So you might shortcircuit the 12V supply OVER YOUR PRECIOUS PORTABLE MODEM OR CABLE if signal ground and power ground are joined.

Some things are outdated and it would be good to add some new information (networking FAQ: net LP-E card. And similar things).

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi friends, playing around with my new 700LX, I found two very(!) interesting pieces of software in ROM (D:\BIN) lamptsr.com and comtsr.com. Both are (c) 1994-95 by HP, and are called by default from autoexec.bat. lamptsr identifies itself as IrDA IrLAP and IrLMP Protocol Stack Version 3.10 and can be called in infrared mode, wired mode and adapter mode. (lamptsr /?) comtsr says it is a COM API TSR Version 3.10. The 700LX's autoexec.bat calls the two TSR that way (the comment says "loading IrDA driver:"): d:\bin\lamptsr.com /l /i d:\bin\comtsr.com /L So, could this already be an IrDA stack with API? However, I tried around with the two, also on the 200LX, where they _can_ be loaded, but I was never really able to talk to a phone. LXPRO was on the 700LX not even able to enable the COM port and switch it to IR mode, everytime I switched to IR, the COM port has been disabled..? Everyone interested in trying arond with that TSRs, download them from http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/irda700.zip I cannot guarantee that it won't damage a 100LX or 200LX, but mine is okay. ;-) I would be very interested to know what exactly they are for and if they could be useful on the 200LX as well. Anyone with a 700LX manual? Are these TSRs mentioned in the manual?

Beg to differ. It has a very nice and convenient SMS and an integrated fax program, both very nicely bound to the address book. Datacomm and Going postal can also use the phone without having to bother about cables or just-so IR positioning. Incidently, I was never very interested in the LX, being a Portfolio (128 kB, DOS 2.0) user, but just when I had my first Nokia I saw an article about the 700 and was instantly hooked - though it is only recently that used ones came into my price range. It uses the Nokia's power supply and can charge both simultaneously overnight. And since I found ABC-LX I no longer fry my batteries through overcharging. I do have to admit though, the case is really bulky when seen next to a 200.

In-Reply-To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Daniel, hi world;-) in my archives i found a Softwarepack IRDA200.ZIP I send the ZIP directly to you. I decided to include the readme here in the list, because I am shure it will be in interest of all 200LXers. Happy LXing Juergen. ------------------------- this ist the readme.txt (shortened because of the 140-lines Listmail-Limit) HP 200LX IrDA Printer Drivers While HP pioneered infrared communication with its calculator and Palmtop computer line, it joined with the IrDA (Infrared Data Association) to extend that technology into a high speed protocol standard that is beginning to be put into printers and accessory devices that work with the printers. The devices are commonly called IrDA compliant devices. The HP Palmtop built-in IR interface is HP proprietary SIR (serial infrared interface). IrDA evolved several years after HP developed SIR, and IrDA is not backward compatible to the HP proprietary SIR in these machines. However, now that IrDA is available in some printers and accessories that work with printers, the need for IrDA drivers for the Palmtop has come about. This set of files are IrDA printer drivers for the HP 200LX. The drivers are not written for, and will not work on, the HP 95LX or the HP 100LX. Once installed on the HP 200LX, they replace SIR printing capabilities of the HP 200LX. They do not affect the SIR file transfer capabilities in FILER. These driver files are put into the public domain and are unsupported. Do not call Hewlett-Packard support lines, as no support organization is trained or authorized to support these drivers. Known limitations: The drivers are for printing only, not for file transfer. The drivers do not work on the HP 100LX or the HP 95LX. The drivers are written exclusively for the HP 200LX. The drivers do not work with IR printing accessories that are specifically designed to work with the built-in SIR of the Palmtop, such as, the Extended Systems JetEye ESI-9510A, ESI-9802A devices. Minimal testing has taken place, successfully printing to the HP LaserJet 5P printer and to the Extended Systems JetEye ESI-9580 device, both of which are IrDA compliant. Minimal testing has taken place, successfully from Memo, Filer, Appt, Phone, and Print Screen within System Manager. The drivers do not work in Lotus 1-2-3 or cc:Mail. The drivers do not work in DOS. On occasion, the printing connection may not be made, causing printing to fail. The printing appears to resume with a retries. No testing has taken place with other external drivers or TSR's loaded onto the HP 200LX. Setting up your System Manager Applications to perform IRDA Printing ============================================================== ====== - Go into the Setup Application and choose MENU-Options-Printer - You may choose the fastest baud rate of 115200 and select Infrared in the Interface section. Make sure that you have selected the "HP LaserJet" in your Printer section if you wish to print to the HP LaserJet or the HP DeskJet range of printers. - Press F10 to save your Settings. Testing your installation ========================= - Next, launch the MEMO application and use it to open the file, D:\AUTOEXEC.BAT - Press MENU-F-P to open the MEMO Print dialog box. - Point your HP 200LX IR port directly towards the IR receiver of your IrDA printer. - Make sure that your HP 200LX is less than six inches from the IR receiver of your IrDA printer. - Press the ENTER key to start printing. - IrDA printing will now commence. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2002 07:05:03 -0500 Reply-To: Bob Newins Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bob Newins Subject: Re: AW: Compuserve & ACCIS 4.0c MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Steve, I tried it both ways.

Well actually overall the 700LX is much more robust than the 200LX. The screen hinge of the 700LX is much more durable than the 200LX. It's made up of some plastic material that is less brittle than the 200LX. I understand that there's 2 versions. Mine's the one with the world map on it (when I first got it I thought that some thinner was spilt on it). I now use the 700LX when I go for my army reservist training once a year and I don't have to be too careful about it. I can throw it into the metal box with my other my other equipment, maps, rulers, forms etc. The 200LX in an Otterbox is even bulkier but even then I dare not risk damaging my 200LX. But because the 700LX is too bulky, I don't use it on a daily basis and use the 200LX instead.

If the power supply has a -12V output then you can power the LX from that output and power your modem from the +5V output and they will share a common ground line. However, I repeat the cautions others have stated. Check the voltages before you connect your expensive 200LX. See if the +5V output needs a load. If so, you modem will probably not be enough. And, considering the high cost of a replacement 200LX and the low cost of small power supplies, I think the idea of using a large computer power supply in this manner is risky unless you are sure you know what you are doing. Most electronic systems will burn out instantly if you apply too much voltage or voltage of the wrong polarity. You will have no time to react if you make a mistake.

The 200LX external power adaptor is rated, from what I have read, at 12VDC with the centre negative and the sleeve positive. So you wire the centre to ground and the sleeve to +12 volts. Your modem could be hooked to ground and +5 volts. If you hook the 200LX's centre pin to -12 volts and the sleeve to Ground, and hook the modem from ground to +5 volts, you create a maximum difference of 17 volts DC between the LX and the modem. My apologies if I'm making a big newbie mistake in this, but I do know know electronics quite well, and using the -12v to power one thing and the +5 to power another thing and hooking the two things together at ground makes a 17 volt difference. Also, the '-' feeds on computers tend to be rated for very low amperage, because the computer only uses them for digital signalling, not to actually power any mechanisms. -Stephanie ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2002 09:56:20 -0600 Reply-To: Barry Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Barry Subject: Re: HPLX users database offline! :-( Comments: To: Daniel Hertrich MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Hertrich" To: Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2002 12:11 AM Subject: HPLX users database offline! :-( > Although we have asked on the list several times to review the (then > unofficially online) database and see if entries are wrong or unwanted, > we have got an email from a few list members saying they don't want to be > mentioned with this email address in the HPLXUDB and that it was not > right to make the database available that way with data included > without permission. I guess I have mixed feelings about this. I think that in a group like this there's nothing wrong with putting together a list to give to all of us. I'm not sure what use it is but obviously others do see a use for it. If the public has access, which means spammers have access, I'd rather not be included but if I am I'm not going to cry about it. It's not like the spammers aren't already finding me. But the precautions you've taken sound pretty reasonable to me and I don't object to being included.

Yes it did. As soon as I saw Super was gone I took my 6 now useless LXs to a pawn shop and sold the lot for $2. I thought they had just become useless. I went to the pawn shop to try to get them back but they already knew Super was back up and they wanted $200 each for them. Of course I had no choice so I bought them. Anyway, it was a funny joke.

Also, the '-' feeds on computers tend to be rated for very low amperage, because the computer only uses them for digital signalling, not to actually power any mechanisms. -Stephanie"" ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2002 08:44:55 -0800 Reply-To: Victor Roberts Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Victor Roberts Subject: Re: HPLX users database offline! :-( MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Daniel and Bob, I have checked my entry in the database and it is correct.

And thank you and Bob for putting the database together to begin with. I was at least one person asking to remove my name and email address (which happened to be wrong) from the database. At 4/3/02 +0200, you wrote: >Although we have asked on the list several times to review the (then >unofficially online) database and see if entries are wrong or unwanted, >we have got an email from a few list members saying they don't want to be >mentioned with this email address in the HPLXUDB and that it was not >right to make the database available that way with data included >without permission. That is not a good strategy to deal with a database like this. I feel it is proper to ask and receive permission. The method you used forces me to opt out. Well, I never followed the discussion on the database, because I was busy with other things in my life. When I realized you are collecting a database I could not imagine that you are not getting permissions, and I believe they were a few posts here from people posting what amounts to permission (something like - yes, put me in!) S I assumed you dealt with it in a fair way - get permissions and include the person. >This is basically true and okay, we are of course open for corrections >and criticism.

Besides, part of the time I was not reading the list being busy with other things. >Bob received some - but not many - emails and corrected everything. > >Actually it is only feasible to include personal data in such a >database with permission of every single person, that's true. That is the way it should be. This is public database, available to EVERYONE, even spammers (regardless if they want to go through the hassle of unzipping it with the password - that is still a public database.) >But Bob >and I thought it is something different here in this list, because we >all know each other fairly well already, respect each other, and so we >thought it would be enough to ask if anyone included in the datbase >does NOT agree with his inclusion. Correct. Still, if you take this responsibility to make the database, for which I am thankful to you and to Bob (and I am thankful to you also for the other wonderful work you do for the community), you have to consider the implications. Hey, you even wrote about it in your own page, and I think the comments entry in the database discusses not to give this list to anyone who is not safe.

Since the +12 volt and +5 volt outputs of the computer power supply share a common ground, this would create a short circuit across the +12 volt supply when the modem was connected to the 200LX. The computer power supply ground (from the +5 volt supply connected to the modem) would then be connected to the +12 volt output of the computer power supply (connected to the sleeve of the 200LX power input.) The HP Omnibooks 300 to 800 are also designed to use a -12V supply. If you use a non-isolated cable to connect them to your automobile power supply, you will get a short circuit if any grounded part of the Omnibook touches a metal part of the car.

Where 17 volt difference is only on the "hot" lines. That is OK.

If each device is receiving the correct voltage at the correct polarity AND the voltage between the two ground leads of the devices is ZERO when powered up but before you connect them together, then you should be OK.

This is great! And, by the way, I thought it was a good joke. When I signed on to eBay on April 1, the menu items at the top of the page were backwards. I thought their site had been hacked, and then I remembered it was April 1. In these very troubling times, I think it is good (perhaps necessary) to have a sense of humor about something!

Thanks for your ideas. For the search and replace process, you can use the standard tool sed (stream editor), which I'm not familiar with, or you use GSAR, which is available on my homepage somewhere. For the rest, you can use a batch script, using GSAR, it could look like this: for %%f in (*.*) do gsar -o -sSEARCHSTRING -rREPLACESTRING %f But to be sure it works correctly please re-check the GSAR help and the DOS batch "for" syntax...

In a real pinch EDLIN should work as well. If you have a favorite editor that uses only text commands (does not use function keys), it should work. I believe vi and its clones would work. Make a script that does your edit, saves the edited file, then exits the editor, and use I/O redirection to feed it to the editor in a BATch file to do all the files. Else you could write a macro for an editor like the WordPerfect editor that would do the specific edit and file save with one keystroke. Depending on what your favorite editor is, and how many files need updating, this could be the easiest thing to do.

How can you be sure this will not happen? I am not trying to make troubles for Daniel and Bob with tis, because I appreciate their excellent work for this community A LOT - but I am concerned about such a permission. Maybe you want to remove your email address to minimize the likelihood that your entry will be useful for a commercial email? I think the permission as you gave places an onus on daniel and Bob that they cannot possibly comply with. > I think that is the concern that >most people have - otherwise, I'm glad to be available to help >out those who need assistance.

I would like to throw in another idea here, which can be discussed: I agreed with Bob that we definitely won't collect permissions from everyone (although thanks to Avi for the volunteering, but we think it is too much work and not really necessary). But we could do the following: The GDB is zipped and the zip is password protected. So it will not be possible to any person or robot to get to the info in the database without knowing the password. So we can post the password here in the HPLX list, this would assure that list members have easily access to the data, but in addition, for non-list-members, which might have an interest in the data, we can put an email link on the web page for a password request. So we can everytime decide on our own, if we give the password to the interested person or not. This would increase data protection, but still you had to trust us a little. ;-) What about that idea? Again: I would like to encourage _everyone_ who has concerns about his data beeing mentioned in the database, to download the database and check if there is no info which shouldn't be there! http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/hplxudb.zip password: "unofficial" (without quotes).

As I reported here, I set up the account I am using for this list and then did not use it for ANYTHING for about 3 months. When I went to set up the list to use this account I had about 50 SPAM messages sitting on the server. This is for an address I NEVER used. My ISP says that commercial mailers use computer programs that just try out all possible letter combinations and note those that are rejected and those that are not. They then sell these lists to other people. So, even if you keep your e-mail address out of this database, you are still going to get SPAM. BTW - I have become very aggressive about forwarding SPAM to the abuse mailbox at the senders address. I have had at least three SPAM accounts closed in the last month. In spite of the general dislike for Microsoft around here, I found it interesting that abuse@msn.com was very responsive. The least responsive ISP is AOL. I have yet to get a reply from abuse@aol.com.

That's not too bad. When I used alkaline I got about those same results. The LX doesn't turn off, it' just goes to sleep. That way it can still beep for appointments, etc. I use 1600 mah nimh batteries now.

I don't like to use the LX as a battery charger. I use an external charger and swap batteries. There are people here that know much more about electronics than I do that tell me there's no harm done by charging in the LX but I don't trust it.

I eventually want to be able to go on the net, download a few web pages (using get) and perhaps retrieving emails (using Post/LX). I used to do this occasionally with my old Sagem GSM, but that was through a cable not IR. I have a registered version of WWW/LX (version 2.1) and I have also tried with an unregistered version 3.1a. I don't plan to use GPRS, so I guess it should work even with version 2.1 ? I have firmware version R2M on the T39. By the way I have finally managed to get IR.EXE to send Vcards from the LX to the T39, but I can't make it work the other way. It is not a big issue because I don't really intend to be using IR.EXE anyway. It was just an attempt to get something simpler than WWW/LX to work, in attempt to cut out all possible modem and logon problems, before I moved on. > Try this setup: > > > [IrDA] > Port=-1 > OmniGo=0 > Modem=0 > PPP=1 > Baud=38400 > My_IP=0.0.0.0 > DNS_IP=0.0.0.0 > DNS2_IP=0.0.0.0 > Script=CHAP_Script > ModemInit=AT&F > Dial=ATDTxxxxxx > Login=xxxxx > Password=xxxxxx I did. It doesn't work. On the LX I get a IR connection failed after some seconds. On the T39 I see no signs of action at all. Shouldn't I see it on the display if it actually was trying to dial out ? Am I supposed to do anything with the T39 in order to prepare it for the IR commands from the LX ? I just put it beside the LX on the table in the normal ready mode. > Did you try another T39 or another LX to be sure it is not a hardware problem? I don't have access to another T39, but I do have a spare LX in the attic somewhere (waiting for my current LX to die, which it refuses to do). I guess I could try and see if I could get the two LX's to speak IR together. I have done that in the past with a colleagues LX, so unless it broke since then it should still work. But it seems that I do get some level of communication, judging from the feedback from WWW/LX and IR.EXE, and also the fact that I have now successfully managed to actually transfer a Vcard in one direction. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2002 23:54:47 +0000 Reply-To: Russel Brooks Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Russel Brooks Subject: Re: OT: Text Search and Replace Comments: To: TomSalwasser@COMPUSERVE.COM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Tom Salwasser wrote: > I need to search a directory full of dos batch files and replace > a string of text with another string of text wherever it occurs. > Is there any quick and easy way to do this without manually > updating each file? Thanks for your ideas. Do you have EDLIN.COM ?? Most people would sneer at using this old editor but it has a VERY powerful feature; you can command it via a pipe of commands from a file. I use it so seldom that I can't write you a tool to do it so the research is left to the user should you wish to try it. To edit 1 file this way you'd do something similar to: edlin mybat.bat < cmds.txt Where cmds.txt is the commands you'd issue manually to make the change using edlin. To do a whole directory use the FOR command to run the above sample repeatedly on all the .BAT files in a directory. Cheers...

This list has public archives (even if Mike's online archive now hides the domain for posters' addresses, there are still plenty of addresses in the message bodies due to quoted e-mails). Posting here will most likely result in your message being indexed by web spiders (Google or other search engines) or your e-mail address grabbed by e-mail harvesting programs, regardless of whether you are in the GDB database or not. I find it highly unlikely that an e-mail harvester will ever try to parse a GDB file (or any exotic binary file format for that matter), so without manual extraction by someone it won't happen. And should anyone want to extract e-mail addresses from the mailing-list for spam purposes, it would be much more convenient to either use the zipped logs or simply ask the listserv for a list of hplx-l subscribers (and their e-mail addresses).

I'm pretty sure this should be COM1. 9600 baud is generally a safe starting point for IrDA comms. I've not personally used the driver you're discussing, but have you tried irda097.zip on SUPER? I have had success in the past using (I think) a older version of this driver, with a HP copyright(?) between a vanilla 1MB 200LX and a LJ 6MP. Beware the 6MP seems to be very fussy about angle; it needs to be within 5 degrees and I got a result at about 12" (30cm) window-to-window. The status LED next to the IR window on the 6MP should come on when a link (in IrLAP sense, meaning it won't light up until you hit Print on the LX) is active. > > If I then switch back to > > the FILER and quit the FILER, then try to print, I still get no light > > generated at the IR port.

Try setting the Communications | Remote Settings interface to Infrared, my money's that it will work. I wonder whether the JetEye really IS an IrDA compliant interface. If you look at the Palmtop Paper archive (http://www.palmtoppaper.com/ptphtml/1/ptp10017.htm) I suspect that the JetEye is a HPSIR transceiver with some trickery in there to do rudimentary handshaking and buffering. Surely it predates IrDA? In which case, IRJETEYE.SYS isn't going to do anything useful at all. In summary: try the other driver (irda097.zip) and see what you get.

I have one weekly print job from the LX, which is a Lotus file. I print to file, and then in Memo delete some lines which have no meaning for that week, and print from Memo to the printer. I carry the print with me in my pocket agenda (still easier to look at than allways using he LX for that!). In order to fit the sheet on a half A4 page, I use an initialisation string in Memo's Print Setup for a small, but readible font, and suitable lines per inch: \027&l12D\027(s20h6v. Other printing from the LX is just occasional for me, and works fine from the built-in applications. The same setup is excellent to compactly print software documentation in two columns, by feeding the same page a second time, upside down, and then cutting it in the length. I remember printing directly from filer would require a trick, which I have forgotten. I have not done that in years. For more fancy printing, I use the PC.

When using batteries, there is only one mutual ground between the two systems, and that is created by the line carrying the signals. The same is true if you use two isolated power supplies, as their outputs are isolated from the building ground. You only have a problem with you try to use one power supply for two devices that operate at different voltages or polarities. Then you have to make sure you do not cross-connect the ground from one output to the hot lead of another output. That is what was being initially proposed.

Electric bulbs don't emit light; they suck dark. Thus, we call these bulbs Dark Suckers. The Dark Sucker Theory and the existence of dark suckers prove that dark has mass and is heavier than light. First, the basis of the Dark Sucker Theory is that electric bulbs suck dark. For example, take the Dark Sucker in the room you are in. There is much less dark right next to it than there is elsewhere. The larger the Dark Sucker, the greater its capacity to suck dark. Dark Suckers in the parking lot have a much greater capacity to suck dark than the ones in this room. So with all things, Dark Suckers don't last forever. Once they are full of dark, they can no longer suck. This is proven by the dark spot on a full Dark Sucker. A candle is a primitive Dark Sucker. A new candle has a white wick. You can see that after the first use, the wick turns black, representing all the dark that has been sucked into it. If you put a pencil next to the wick of an operating candle, it will turn black. This is because it got in the way of the dark flowing into the candle. One of the disadvantages of these primitive Dark Suckers is their limited range. There are also portable Dark Suckers. In these, the bulbs can't handle all the dark by themselves and must be aided by a Dark Storage Unit. When the Dark Storage Unit is full, it must be either emptied or replaced before the portable Dark Sucker can operate again. Dark has mass. When dark goes into a Dark Sucker, friction from the mass generates heat. Thus, it is not wise to touch an operating Dark Sucker. Candles present a special problem as the mass must travel into a solid wick instead of through clear glass. This generates a great amount of heat and therefore it's not wise to touch an operating candle. Also, dark is heavier than light. If you were to swim just below the surface of the lake, you would see a lot of light. If you were to slowly swim deeper and deeper, you would notice it getting darker and darker. When you get really deep, you would be in total darkness. This is because the heavier dark sinks to the bottom of the lake and the lighter light floats at the top. The is why it is called light. Finally, we must prove that dark is faster than light. If you were to stand in a lit room in front of a closed, dark closet, and slowly opened the closet door, you would see the light slowly enter the closet. But since dark is so fast, you would not be able to see the dark leave the closet. Next time you see an electric bulb, remember that it is a Dark Sucker. --------------------- See also: http://home.netcom.com/~rogermw/darksucker.html John -----Original Message----- From: HPLX Mailing List [mailto:HPLX-L@UConnVM.UConn.Edu]On Behalf Of Stephanie Maks Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 8:01 AM To: HPLX-L@UConnVM.UConn.Edu Subject: Re: Fluff: SMOKE WARNING I heard about this several years ago.

AFAIK, if NiMH's were charged and left for a while, there is a trickle discharge effect that drains the battery. If left for a while, the batteries would eventually completely discharge. I think the rate for NiMH's (please correct me if I'm way off) is about 20% per month. I did some research on rechargables when I bought my digital camera. > I don't like to use the LX as a battery charger. I use an > external charger and swap batteries.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the only rechargable batteries that could be charged on the LX were NiCD? There's no option in the battery type screen for NiMH. On a similar note, for the last few months, my DS 32M 200lx has been draining batteries like they're candy. I'm usually having the change the 1600MAh NiMH's almost on a daily basis. I switched from alkalines because it was going through them at almost the same rate. Also, if I don't plug the LX into the wall when I change the batteries, sometimes it resets itself and I lose the contents of the internal 32M. I've since stopped using it in favor for an external CF card. Any ideas on why this could be happening? Is it time for another visit to the Thaddeus HPLX hospital?

I hesitated to say anything because I can't find my complete setup, but I can say I've used the jeteye driver to print from WordPerfect 5.1 on my DS 200LX to a Citizen pN60 via infrared. If I recall correctly, my config.sys (this is what I've lost) had the line "DEVICE=C:\PATH\IRJETEYE.SYS COM1" in it. The WP printer driver is configured to print to COM1 at 2400 baud with no parity, 7 bits, 1 stop bit (N,7,1) and XON/XOFF control. After booting with the modified config.sys, I had to invoke "serctl /i", confirm power to serial port was on (?), and then enable the driver "jetutil." It worked pretty well, but I used it too rarely to justify packing the printer.

I wonder if, when this is perfected, uses might be found for the compressed dark. I mentioned this in front of a group not long ago and one of the group, well known to be a satanist, had a knowing smile. I'm not sure why.

I think it's debatable whether this proves that dark is heavier than light or if it proves only that dark water is heavier than light water. I think the latter, since if dark were generally heavier than light, the dark of the universe would displace the light surrounding the earth and the earth would be dark and the universe would be light.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit No time for experiments or file comparisons now, but from my docs: IRDA100 and 200 are almost the same, both contain files August-Sep 1995; 097 has files August-Oct 1997, and the very short readme by Nicholas Chan suggests it really is an update. I haven't tried Nicholas' web address or email. With 100 was a more extensive and seemingly clear documentation file. I could send you, if you want. I wouldn't know what to add, although it doesn't explain the functions of each programme. I have no deep thoughts about the precise working of the tsr, but it does definitely not show up with mem/c. I have not yet thought about the filer question, but Serctl/i sets the IR speed to 2400 Extended Systems produced both SIR and IRDA adapters and drivers. My Instldos.exe and IRJetEye.sys for IRDA date back to Dec 1994-June 1995. As I said, I never used them on the LX, but it might be worthwhile to see whether they work from pure DOS and Lotus. There is a rather clear readme, suggesting the Instl will guide you smoothly through the process. You mention IRDA-DOS and HP-IRDA. Would HP-IRDA do its job especially where the IRDA200 alikes don't (Lotus, DOS)? However, what you state suggests this might not work from sysman applications! Would the IRDA-DOS be rather for communication with other computers? Printers then won't take this. Still, these programmes could be useful to the LX community...

However, I discovered something interesting today. I had been running WWW/LX on the C: drive of the 200LX. Well, I decided to run WWW/LX from an 80MB Sandisk CF card in the A: drive slot. It would not connect at 38400 baud, the speed I was using for the copy of WWW/LX on the C: drive. I dropped the speed to 19200 baud and WWW/LX negotiated a PPP connection but the data transfer was unreliable. The WWW/LX setups on C: and A: are identical. I backup the copy on C: to A: as a security measure. Each copy references directories to \, with no drive letter, so I can move the CF card from the LX to my laptop and run the program without changes. The only reason I can see for this behavior is that the CF card is too slow to keep up with the data flow from MochaPPP. Any Other suggestions would be appreciated.

I > don't think we should support manufacturers bad codes in _our_ code. Actually I don't think the reason is a problem in the www/lx code. I know Andreas reads RFCs carefully and his implementations usually are very correct and even accept some errors on the other side without having too much trouble. What I think is that there is an implementation of the PPP server which was first used be Ericsson and Nokia didn't develop their own PPP server implementation for the 6310, but used the same implementation as Ericsson (either bought it from Ericsson or both bought it from a third party). So they are bogh suffering now from the bug. Or maybe it is not a real bug but only another interpretation of some RFC comments than the interpretation done for the implementation of WWW/LX PPP. Also, as I learned from Andreas, GPRS phones don't contain a full PPP server, but only a mini version of a PPP server, which must be a quite new standard. So there might be some ambiguousities, I guess. Avi, I don't know the exact details of course, neither about the implementation and the changes for the T39, nor the business-related issues which could evolve from distributing an unofficial software version too much. But my suggestion in this case is that you simply declare that version as an unsopported GPRS solution, which can be downloaded and tried in case the normal version doesn't work for GPRS, no matter what phone the customer has (I expect the problem to appear on more setups that just Nokia and Ericsson phones!). Maybe Andreas can compile it once more with another version information (3.1c currently, maybe changed to 3.1_GPRS_unsupported or some such), and put a clear statement in the documentation that _only_ support requests will be processed which do not involve the changes made in the unsupported version. So you get rid of the frequent GPRS-special-version-requests, and you can safely delete all support requests regarding the GPRS issues solved with the modified version or send back a standard email "downlad the GRPS-enabling version from ftp.dasoft.com.....". So you don't have to discuss a lot about it, don't have to worry about unnecessary support requests, and on the other side, the customers have a version which works with most, if not all, GPRS phones. What do you think? Another way would be to make a new official version (supported), which _includes_ the bug workaround. It could be named version 3.2.

It is still "unofficial" (the password is "unofficial"!). I will continue to observe the very interesting discussion about the database here and when the time has come Bob and I will decide how to handle the data privacy protection issue. I think for now the solution with the password request by email should satisfy everyone. We have full control aver who can get access to the data then. We could for example only give away the password to non-list-members if the person gives us his data and the permission to include it to the database. This meets the idea of only giving access to the database to people who include themselves, AND it meets _my_ idea to also give the database to people who are not list members and come along palmtop.net or my homepage to look ofr people also using the palmtop. Again, for you list members, the password should be accessable, and I give it here now: "unofficial".

I initially thought it could be useful for palmtop newcomers who don't know about the HPLX-L or don"t want to subscribe. The second idea was it can collect power HPLX users, who are not on the HPLX-L or leave it, so they can still support without beeing subscribed (this was mainly the idea for the HPLX knowledge database, the predecessor of the users database). Then the idea of the users database appeared and this one is a nice overview of users and their location - may be useful to people who travel and want to look if somewhere on their route they can meet a fellow palmtopper, or if someone lives in the destination area who can help setting up a temporary internet account or whatever... So, for some people the users database may be totally useless, for some it may be a nice-to-have, and for some it may be very useful.

My email program could do the job with a >>distribution list and a membership scan. Please keep in mind that over the past 60 days I assembled all the records as respondents to the Around The World Thread submitted their information. Then Daniel and I merged databases. Subsequently, we went back to make all requested changes and to weed out all duplicate entries. Then the support database that Nathalie had assembled was merged and once again all duplicate entries were compared, their data combined and each duplicate then filtered out. The final database, the 'master' if you will, is all that was retained by me since it was the clean database. That is the database Daniel posted on his website. At this point it would be impossible for me to go back and reconstruct who 'agreed', either expressly or by inference, to be listed and who did not, be that by way of responding to the Around The World thread, or having been on Daniel's original HPLXKNDB database of users providing support, or having been part of Nathalie's support database, or the many who contacted me directly afterwards. On the other hand, anyone not wishing their information to be included simply has to contact me and I will immediately remove their information from the master database. It is certainly worth noting that only one person, out of nearly 300 respondents thus far, objected to his information being included in the HPLXUDB. Turns out we had a wrong email address for him and he wished us to make other changes. Certainly we accommodated him in every respect, as we would any member's request. I have received many emails from HPLX list members expressing their gratitude for the HPLXUDB. These emails evidence that list members see value in having a directory of HPLX users from which they can quickly discern who lives nearby, who supports which model, who supports specific applications, even who might live in a part of the world to which another member may be travelling. Some members even expressed that they've enjoyed seeing just how many countries are represented by current LX users. The HPLXUDB can and should facilitate one-on-one relationships between people who share a common interest. Further, it can and should provide the next generation of HPLX users an unprecedented wealth of direction, knowledge, information, support and kinship in a convenient, portable and accessible format. That was the point all along. The final product (well, nearly ;)) is a real testament to the character and disposition of this list.

Remove the main batteries and also the small backup battery (The one that looks like a coin).***Backup before removing the batteries as you will loose all data*** Then with the Palmtop emptied of all batteries press the "ON" button for a minute or a minute and half. This will supposedly clear all energy from the palmtop. Now insert all the batteries and test it. Some people with battery sucking palmtops have been able to fix them this way.

Right, no sense in mentioning 80186 because it makes no difference - it is has NOTHING to do with the problem. As far as they are concerned this is a black box.

If anyone checks that and makes a package, I'll gladly put it on SUPER. The versions from my 700LX are on http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/irda700.zip Please check if the drivers are newer, AND if the drivers still perform the same action and thus are backwards compatible to the older ones. And since the original author if the package doesn't seem to be here anymore, I suggest we only include the newer version in the packege, and leaving the old ones there, too.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, This is a horror story which I hope none of you would encounter. I've configured an auto-backup script on my wife's 4MB 200LX. It backs up data once a week to the flash card. Yesterday, my wife told me that her palmtop couldn't turn on. When I had a look at it this morning, I pressed the ON button, it gave a beep and nothing. No problemo as it is a low battery problem that I've encountered before. Changed the battery but then nothing. Uh oh. Nevermind, I did encounter this before also, so I took out all the batteries, pressed the ON button for a minute or so, put back the batteries in and voila, it works. Now when I was about to restore the data from the flash, horror of horrors! It was corrupted! When I asked my wife if she saw any low battery warning before, she said yes about a couple of weeks back but she forgot about it. I think what has happened is that the batteries died when it was writing to the flash card while doing the weekly auto-backup. The flash card was then corrupted. Moral of the story: turn on the palmtop at least once a week and heed the "low battery" warning. Backup your data in your PC or on another flash. Rgds, weemeng PS: Anyone know how to extract raw files from corrupted flash cards (5MB)? I only need to get at a lotus file and the phonebook. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 5 Apr 2002 19:46:24 -0600 Reply-To: Barry Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Barry Subject: Re: Heed the low bty indicator or lose *ALL* data, even on flash!

The real moral of the story is make backups. Backing up to the flash card is fine between real backups but it shouldn't be confused with a real backup. Back up to another computer fairly often and then write that to zip disks or CDs.

I also talked to Andreas about that problem, and he promised to make the modified version an official version soon and let it be released (by Avi probably?) as an official version. He simply forgot that he has modified it but that it has never been released. So please wait some time, I don't know how long, but we will probably soon have official access to a WWW/LX version which works with the Ericsson and Nokia GPRS implementation.

Considering the amount of spam that everybody gets every day, I don't think that we need to worry about the HPLX database at all. If you don't want your email address to be visible, you should stop posting messages here, or even stop sending email at all. After all, all HPLX-L messages are archived - a spammer could easily grab the archives and extract all addresses. Frankly, I believe people are way too concerned. Spammers have millions and millions of addresses, and they won't put themselves through the trouble of downloading a GDB file, converting that into a useful form, just to get a mere 300 or so addresses - most of which they already have anyway. Daniel and Bob spent a lot of time and efforts on this project, so let's not flog this to death by grumbling over minor points, but instead view the database as a valuable resource for the HP LX community. Just my 2 cents... And of course this implies my permission to leave my entry in the database. :-) Thomas -- Dipl.-Inform.

This would only be true if the +12V line would be connected to the ground (or shield) pin of the serial port, which is not the case. I think the common problem in this discussion is that everybody seems to assume that the sleeve of the power connector is automatically used as ground. In most cases this might be true, especially for devices which use the center tip for +12V or whatever and the sleeve for ground. On the HP it is just the other way round, and ground is connected to the center tip of the power connector. Therefore I don't think that there would be any problem connecting a modem and the palmtop to different outputs of the same power supply. Thomas -- Dipl.-Inform.

It was based on the Omnibooks that have the same polarity plugs and a ground which is commonly believed to be connected to the shell. Hence the need for the rather expensive HP auto power adapter. (However, I must admit I have never checked the connections on my Omnibooks either.) If you are correct that the center pin of the power plug goes to circuit common and therefore to the ground lead of the serial port, then ALL THE ADVICE I HAVE BEEN DISPENSING HERE WITH REGARD TO THE USE OF A COMMON POWER SUPPLY FOR THE 200LX AND AN EXTERNAL MODEM IS WRONG. (Sorry for the shouting, but I do now want anyone to burn out their 200lX because of my incorrect advice. Do not use one power supply for both your LX and an external modem unless you have the tools and knowledge to check for a potential difference between the grounds before you connect the two devices.

Avoid running 2 programs if you can do the job by running only 1. My fault. Maybe the suggestion of using cut could be better. Take into consideration the ressources awk and cut might need. This is something one usually forget about: just count the number of Perl CGI scripts that could be replaced by properly written light C programs...

They changed the motherboard because it was faulty. To my surprise using the new motherboard the IR connection with my Hp 200lx seems much better than before. Much fewer "Error, baud rate too high" messages. It is now difficult to see one of those errors while before I started getting them as soon as the connection was established. Can it be that the new motherboard had a new software version? If your Nokia 8210 is still under guarantee and the screen starts flickering have it repaired as soon as possible you may be getting a more stable system. ***Question about AT commands in Nokia 8210: Using IR.exe AT+CPBR 1,150 will read the whole phonebook on the SIM card, but there will be many entries missing. Is there a better AT command to list all entries, or is it a bug? If you type AT+CPBR 1,20 (Shorter memory range) all entries are listed. Why does the AT=CPBR 1,150 fail to work correctly? Has anybody been able to read all entries using one AT command? (I have only been able to read all entries by limiting the range to 1-20, then 21-40, then 41-60, etc..)

This sounds like IrDA or IR.EXE is not fast enough to transmit / read all the entries the command returns. I don't know for sure, but I assume the command AT+CPBR 1,150 lets the phone send all entries in a certain time pattern to IR.EXE, and if it sends too fast, some may be lost. Try another scheme: Try to tell the phone to only send one entry, and when it arrived, send the next request for one entry. This could be done by a script (Robot/LX with WWW/LX) which has a counter, and works as follows: counter=1 AT+CPBR counter,counter wait for OK increase counter if counter < 151 goto beginning I don't have the GSM AT command sheet handy, so I cannot look up if the AT+CPBR command is correct, but if you say _range_, I think you give it the first and the last entry which it should send. So if you give counter,counter it would everytine send only one entry, the one with number "counter". Maybe have a look at the phone.scr Robot script. This already allows to read/write the whole phone book, and I guess it works the way I just described.

This is _your_ committment, not mine. The code will be released as is, and no promises whatsoever. If it works, great, if not, then that's it.

The idea is basically great. But Thomas is right: On SUPER you can see at least _which_ programs work on the palmtop (except some not added Free- and shareware programs, which are available elsewhere, especially standard DOS tools are missing on SUPER, but SUPER is more a file base for palmtop _specific_ programs). I would modify Dario's idea a bit: Create a data base (or web page, this may be more conveniten as long as there are not too many entries) which shows all programs running on the palmtop, which are not on SUPER. And I think it is important to add a note field to the database where tips can be added how to make the program work on the palmtop, especially important for such programs like Windows 3.0, MS Word, Lotus 1-2-3 R2.4 or R3.0, GTX daniel -- http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/contact ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 7 Apr 2002 16:57:45 +0200 Reply-To: "Helmuth E.

So I attached an external battery holder of 2xAA to the vampire clips on the 200lx motherboard, where the internal batteries usually connect. A digital multimeter shows that the palmtop draws current in a strange way, when the batteries are attched: about 16mA for 8 seconds, then 54mA for about 12seconds, then 16mA, then 54mA and so on, oscillating. Of course there is no card in the PCMCIA bay, and the batteries are fresh. Does the above oscillating current draw indicate any particular error? Can I test the working of the LCD, without a functional LX motherboard? Say, some specific voltage applied to some contact point on the flat cable makes the screen dark, or columns turn on/off? Is this possible?

It is a differnet machine. The Omnigo 120 is the (big?) brother of the Omnigo 100, buth seem to be pretty rare. The 100LX isn't rare, and it is almost as useful as the 200LX, except its capability to be easily memory-upgraded and it has older ROM software. Otherwise the 100LX and 200LX are identical. A strange thing is the Omnigo 700LX, which has the name "Omnigo", but is shaped as and developed from the 200LX. I don't know why they re-used the name Omnigo for the 700LX, although the nam Omnigo actually meant these GEOS machines with the flip-around-screen and hand writing recognition (Omnigo 100 and 120). I have never seen an Omnigo 100 or 120, except on pictures, and I would be _very_ interested to see and try one. But I wouldn't probably want to buy one, because it would not be useful for me.

Unusual in that it was used once or twice only four or five years ago, then put back into its box with a PSU, all cables and its leather case untill now.

What do you think of these machines? I thought that with something like Pocket DOS running on it, so that it can use SUPER SW, it might make a nice alternative to the 100LX. Are there any resource sites out there for the 360LX or its OEMs? - I must say I've come accross very little for either the MC12 or 360LX on the search engines. Any advice gratefully receieved.

But I wouldn't probably want > to buy one, because it would not be useful for me. > Daniel et all, I've collected a lot of LX stuff over the years. A couple years ago I ran across an almost brand new Omnigo 120 and purchased it. It was the ideal collectors package. In the box with all the papers and books. It came with several HP add on applications like games and the connectivity kit as well as the complete set of "Omnigo World" magazine. (Thaddeus' equivalent to the "Palmtop Paper" for Omnigo users.) It should have made an interesting addition to my collection. But, it would run the batteries down in a couple weeks or so even if it was in the desk drawer unused. There was no provision for an ac adapter. So if the backup battery was weak or dead, when you removed the AA batteries to replace them, you lost everything that you hadn't backed up. VERY bad for business. The major difference between the 100 and 120 was the screen. It was supposed to be much more visible in poor conditions than the 100. I wasn't impressed with the improvement. I thought my good LXs had better displays. It may have been as good or slightly better than the one LX I have that has a poor screen. (Discussed in an earlier thread.) I think there were some software additions for the 120 as well, but I can't remember what they were. I believe that they are scarce because HP dropped the Omnigo product line very soon after the 120 was introduced. I kept it about a year and didn't use it much. Every time I wanted to play with it I had to replace all three batteries and start off as if it was new. It was so irritating to do that I decided that I didn't want to keep it even as a "collectable". So, I sold it to someone via eBay and only lost a little. Not one of HPs better designs.

An idea? Maybe an external service, which takes an email attachment and uploads it to a certain place?

The oscillating power consumption is not right, Depending on the amount of RAM installed, the palmtop draws about 50-110 mA when it is starting up, and after a while drops down to 30-50 mA due to light sleep when there is no keyboard activity. You definitely have a problem with the hardwrae. I would suggest removing the display wire and measure the current consumption of the mainboard alone.

Might as well say "thank you for spamming me". To stop this happening again, is there anyway to set POST/LX so that confirmation messages are stopped?

There is no fundamental reason why the negative end of the power supply should go to ground, especially when the input voltage does not drive the logic circuitry directly. And, by the way, if the case of the LX was made from a conductive material instead of an insulating material, it would be very unusual for the outer part of the power connector to NOT be connected to circuit ground. When a conductive case, the shell of the power connector would almost certainly be connected to chassis ground.

So you would use it and use it and no change but the battery was critically low (but unknown). Then you'd put it away over the weekend or even overnight - the battery would die along with your data. As part of a collection it might be nice.

I've got the 120 (I think it is in that closet (G)). It had what hp referred to as a holographic screen (???) which was this screen that could really use ambient light and reflect it back. It was an oddish greenish-orange. I actually had a test HP100 (not omnigo) that hp beta tested with that screen but that one was only on loan. It was very angle dependent but with the right lighting it did seem to glow. I never did get grafitti and my left handed penmenship to co-exist very well. And even back then, I complained about the scroll bar location for lefties - since you had to reach across the screen to use the stylus to scroll and then covered up what you wanted to see as scrolling. That, unfortunately, has not changed with the wince devices either. But those were my opinions and some folks really liked the omnigo. There were a few sites on the web that supported it. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 8 Apr 2002 22:24:51 -0800 Reply-To: xy mox Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: xy mox Subject: Re: Game: VADAS on SUPER Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed u can using q/u/a/s key for change "BIG number" on left hand side. o/p/k/l is a shooting key.

Well, I think there is: To avoid such problems we are talking about. These problems would never appear if _every_ device would connect alll ground lines to 0V. At least in a device which is only driven by _one_ power supply this should be easy to do and not lead to problems. i have not yet seen _any_ device which doesn't do it this way.

When I first obtained an Accton card I was able to use the Ethernet connection option with the ISP I had at that time, which was Road Runner. I just purchased a Socket LP-E NIC from eBay and am trying to test it out in my 200LX. (The card works fine in my 800CT.) I have installed LXCIC and am using LXEN2216 thanks to a suggestion from Mike Kopplin. I have gotten as far as having DHCP.EXE write the IP-UP.BAT file and set the environment variables. Yet, when I fire up WWW/LX with my Ethernet profile I get the error message "Cannot establish a PPP connection". One thing that has changed since I tested the Accton card is that I changed ISP on my cable modem service from Road Runner to Earthlink. The Earthlink dial-up service works just fine with WWW/LX and I can use MochaPPP to connect to the Earthlink high speed service through a Win98SE host. Is it possible that direct Ethernet connection to Earthlink requires a different script?

There is no fundamental reason, that's right, but as almost everybody uses the negative line as ground, I would at least consider that as the "normal" way of doing it. :-) And, as you pointed out with reference to the Omnibook, using the negative line as ground gives the users much less headaches and less possibilities to blow up their equipment, for example in a car or when using one power supply for more than one device, which was how this thread started.

I have achieved that this is all usable from a batch file (which I need, because I don't like system macros and I'm running a batch file every night automatically anyway). And in case you want to do this on a 1000CX or another computer without the built-in database application, or if you don't use system manager, it can also be useful.

Just about every map of the world I have ever seen has North at the top. However, that is just "convention". There is no scientific reason that would make North "up". The reason that North is up is that people living in the Northern Hemisphere dominated map making. People who live in the Southern Hemisphere are probably not very happy that their part of the world is given what some might believe is second class status on maps. > i have not yet seen _any_ device which doesn't do it this way. Well, I don't want to take up too much bandwidth here with examples, but let me give a few both ways. In the days of vacuum tubes (you are probably too young to remember those, but I am not ) it was normal to have the negative lead of the power supply grounded and the positive line hot (as you say is "fundamental" ) because the negative end of the vacuum tube has a cathode that must be heated and that is more convenient if the cathode heating supply is near ground. With the advent of transistors, there was a time when PNP transistors were very popular, and that lead to designs with negative power supplies. Later on NPN transistors became more common than PNP types and we reverted to positive power supplies. And, I must admit that all logic ICs I have seen are designed for positive power supplies. But, remember that most op-amps are designed for balanced positive and negative supplies. (Well, you will argue that the newer op-amps design for battery powered equipment are designed for one positive power supply.) So let me give one final example that shows negative supplies have their place. In my profession we use photomultiplier tubes to measure very low levels of light. These have a photocathode and a series of electron collector/amplifier stages and then a final anode that collects the amplified electron current. The total voltage from photocathode to collection anode is about 2000 volts. Since you usually want to measure the DC current from the collection anode, it is common practice to put the collection anode at ground, the photocathode at -2000 volts and power the amplifier stages from a resistive ladder network connected between the photocathode power supply and ground. So, all, or most, photomultiplier power supplies have a high voltage negative output with the positive side connected to ground.

With the Times2 Tech double = speed driver, you can press a key combination and slow the palmtop down to = normal speed. Does this save battery life compared to running the same palmtop = at double speed? My theory is that it doesn't. I think (correct me if I am wrong), that = after the speed upgrade, the processor always runs at the new, faster speed. Presumable, the drive acts like a program delay loop to give the impressio= n of a slower palmtop without actually changing the processor's cycles per = second, right? If so, I would expect the same battery life whether the processor = is running the delay loop or other programs. What does everyone else think/know about this?

I have a Z50 and I believe that one end of the cable goes into the serial port and the other end attaches to a Centronics parallel port. For use with the 200LX, the part that attaches to the Z50 probably needs to be changed as the Z50 uses a tiny D connector. I think it is similar to the Greenwich serial/ parallel printer cable, but just a different connector. I've just placed an order for one. Shipping to Singapore (Asia pacific) is $6. To US/Canada is $3.50. To Europe, don't know, pls check with seller. The seller runs a charity and someone donated a box of about 200+ cables to her. Pls contact SueDevald@aol.com.

( Power supplies - overlooking the obvious - SMOKE WARNING). The issue of 0 volts and ground and connecting dc operated devices is amusing and a bit off track. For devices that are powered by dc through ac adapters, the 'ground' is actually floating unless there is a three wire ac cord with a ground. The 0 volt reference is chosen on the dc device and normally has no reference to 'ground'. For devices powered just by batteries, you have plus and minus terminals on the batteries. You want a 'ground'? Declare a ground. Positive ground, negative ground these terms belong to the auto industry. The mentality of let's cut costs and not run expensive copper wires. Declare the chassis a ground and connect one polarity to the chassis. In the issue of serial communications, there is usually a common (0 volt) reference and data wires that go to positive and negative voltage levels to transfer data. There is usually some form of isolation to keep data voltage levels from getting into the device beyond the isolator circuits. We have a different story with ac powered devices. This is ground and ac power related. This might be best represented with an example of a service call I took while working at Apollo Computer in Beaverton, Oregon (before Apollo was bought by HP). We got a call from a customer that most of the devices that they plug their Apollo Workstation in to don't work now and they smell smoke coming from some of them. The scenero: The company was located in a remodeled house. The Apollo DN3000 Workstation was located in a bedroom. All of the other devices including an IBM AT, clone AT, modem, Epson printer, HP 7550 plotter were in the main room. All of the devices in the main room except the hp plotter went up in smoke. 2 problems. 1) On the serial cable with DB25 connectors on both ends, pin 1 was connected to the cable braid on both ends. Pin 1 is chassis ground and should be connected on one end only. Pin 7 is the data ground. 2) 'Grandpa' had replaced the old 2-wire outlet in what was the bedroom with a 3-wire outlet. I've done this a lot of times myself. You do have to make sure that hot goes to hot and neutral goes to neutral and ground goes to neutral (assuming you do not have ground). Here is what happened. The Apollo workstation had 120volts ac on the chassis. The power supply saw 120vac across line and neutral and was happy. The serial cable passed 120vac to chassis ground on each of the devices that the customer plugged in to. The power supply blew up on the IBM PC. Other devices blew on the other devices (disk controller, everything, logic card). The only two devices that survived were the Apollo Workstation and the HP Plotter. You may ask: 'Why didn't they blow a circuit breaker or ground fault interrupter?" They had a fuse box and I would guess that they had put in oversized fuses.

This is OK because Andreas compiled this version in Oct 2001. It was around for testing purposes first, because it should only be a work-around for the GPRS firmware bugs in Ericsson phones. It has never been publicly released until now. Actually, all hoped that Ericsson would fix that, but they didn't. Instead the problem appears now also on Nokia phones, and thus D&A decided to release the version as an official one.

Comments: To: Bill Sprague In-Reply-To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Although I do not like them much because they provide nearly zero quality support to new users, I keep telling people about Compuserve. It has a huge network with many nodes. I travelled extensively and they have a node just about anywhere. The quality is sometimes shoddy, but you still get in. In some cases (as a customer in Myanmar had to do) it means an expensive international call (in his case to Bangkok!), but then, you get in, collect the email, send the email, and you logoff. So an expensive call is at least (mercifully) short. In many places in the US and Europe you can use some form of 800 number, which means you can borrow someone's phone line. Many European countries have just a "national" number for Compuserve. You pay for the time, but relatively low. If you stay logged on and spend an hour browsing, you WILL pay through the nose - I suggest to do the browsing in Internet cafes. For email, i.e. short sessions, CIS is good. I also must tell you that in some places in the US at least, the quality of their nodes is awful (Larry Tachna, I believe, suffered from that for a long time!) Secondly, never ask their Feedback any questions. They have a 90% rate of incorrectness ... Really awful. Their phone support uses people who were fired from McDonalds for being too dumb. So all they can tell you is what they have on their screens. They do not understand any of it. Compuserve also has two (more?) offerings: CIS Classic, and CIS2000. CS2000 is about as close as you can get to getting AOL. It is primarily web-based. The details of the service seem to be different depending on continent. CIS Classic has basically two payment levels: 9.95 for 5 hours (2.95 addl hour). Available worldwide. You pay extra for dialling their 800 number, and in Europe for the national numbers. (2) Unlimited $24.95 (45,000 minutes). 800 is extra. Available is US and Canada only. (I wonder if a European can open an account _while_ in the us (Or have a friend do it) then use it in Europe full time.) There is another offering $24.95 for 20 hours - yes no mistake. Sounds like a rip off. When you call to open an account you basically have to fight them to let you open a Classic account. I just checked the pricing plans, because I changed my own from the unlimited to the $9.95... Good luck.

To get DHCP to work with the Socket LP-E card I had to switch to LXCIC and LXEN2216. I did not investigate whether I needed to change both of these or only one. I just changed both. With this change, DHCP worked and created the necessary environment variables, but WWW/LX would not connect using the same WWW/LX setup I had used previously with my Accton card and Road Runner cable modem service. To get WWW/LX to connect to my new Earthlink cable modem service through a router I removed the login script reference, login name, password, modem init string and telephone number from the Network setup in www.cfg. This seems logical, but does not explain why the old setup worked with the Accton card and Road Runner. I thought that the Ether=1 command told WWW/LX to ignore all the settings that were not needed for a direct network connection, but perhaps I am wrong. I don't know if all these changes were necessary. Perhaps removing the script would have been enough. But it now works, and I don't have time to experiment any more.

AFAIK, compuserve does not work in India. My ISP provides "international roaming" with iPASS and GRIC, which allows me to log in to my ISP via a local ISP where I travel. It seems to cover most major cities in all continents. I tried it on my last trip to Taiwan. It worked fine with POST/LX. The cost is US$.10 or $.20 per minute. The advantage is that you only get charged when you use it. There is no monthly fee. The connection surcharges for compuserve can be more than US$1 per minute if you have to log in via a non-compuserve network like INFONET.

HP has done quite well with both current models, the 720 keyboard handheld and the 560 Pocket PC. However, they don't market the 720 at all except by sales reps. The Microsoft/HP conventional wisdom is that consumers prefer keyboardless smaller devices. (That doesn't explain Blackberry, and that thinking is probably a mystery to those on this mailing list). The HP 720 and the NEC 790 MobilePro are pretty much the only handheld CE devices with keyboards sold to consumers. These units and all others are positioned for large enterprise sales. The HP sells a clever keyboard accessory for the Jornada 560 Pocket PC that I use. You replace the Jornada cover with a cover that also contains a keyboard. The keyboard is about the size of the Blackberry. It is useable in some circumstances, but you still need to use the stylus and the amount of keys is limited (numbers are two strokes).

I have a 2X, 32MB 200LX with an 80MB Sandisk CF card. I use old NiMH batteries that I think are rated at 1200mahr. (They were purchased from Thaddeus some time ago.) I normally get 5 to 6 Buddy hours per charge. In my old 1X, 1MB, 100LX these same batteries would give about 12 to 16 Buddy hours. I believe this reduction in battery time is normal for two reasons. First, when I am working, the LX is working twice as fast as my old 1X machine. On that basis alone I should expect 6 to 8 hours from these batteries in a 2X machine. The other issue is that the 32MB upgrade has changed the way I use my LX. I use the 32MB LX for more CPU-intensive activities than I used the 1MB 100LX for. This means less "idle" time and more power consumption. When I first got my 95LX I played Tetris a lot and used up a pair of alkaline batteries in just a few hours, vs. over 20 hours for "normal" operation of the 95LX with alkaline batteries. Remember also that Buddy only records time when your LX is on, but the LX uses battery power even when "off". And, the amount of power used when off is higher with a 32MB system than a 1M or 2MB system.

I (another newbie) strongly agree.  The use of the 700's fax software in the 200LX would be fantastic; but probably not possible, for if they could have used a PC Card
with a 2100 series Nokia, wouldn't they have done so, rather than create a bulky, molded plastic cradle to house the cell phone?.................Ron

In response to:

I know the appreciation some of us have for the 700 is not universally
shared, but might it be at all possible to read out its ROM? The SMS
software is very nice as is reading and writing using a decent terminal.

BTW Axel, the "References:" header with your message: References: <3CB4E61B.14011.1893857@localhost> did enable me to find the parent message, but it would not be easy for most people to put it into context without some reference to the person who wrote the message. The "Subject:" does give a clue of course :) I don't know why I like to see a reference to the person who wrote the message - it should not be necessary, but that's me. The "References:" is very useful to me *if* I need to go back and read the full parent message. Normally this is not necessary. Also, I may not have the original message on file any more, which makes it hard to thread. > I know the appreciation some of us have for the 700 is not > universally shared, but might it be at all possible to read > out its ROM? I agree, that would be great! I have seen the question asked before, and the only answer I have seen is that it is not possible. I am not exactly sure why though. The fax software is pretty good too, although I am happy with BGFax for the palmtop. > The SMS software is very nice as is reading and > writing using a decent terminal.

The Nokia datacard for the 2110/8110 has a "Smart SMS Interpreter" built-in. You start it with AT*C from DataComm. All reading and writing of messages can be done from the palmtop. Still, it's not as nice as the 700LX software . > preferring the slimmer package.

In that situation the 700LX is almost more manageable - phone/700LX welded together. If I had to run for a train, I could "throw" the whole unit in my brief case and open it later to see the communication still going on :) POSTPDU provides some extra functionality over the 700LX SMS program. For example you can write several SMS, and then send them all at once, automatically. With the 700LX you need to send each message manually. - Tony ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2002 10:01:42 +1200 Reply-To: Tony Hutchins Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Tony Hutchins Subject: Re: Who has the Most SC sessions?

      I guess it comes down to balancing between form and function.  However, since I carry a cell phone and 200LX with me, anyway, and my use of the 700 is primarily for the 'occasional' faxing feature;  just carrying a card & cord for the 200 sounds pretty good.

Furthermore, that = I could then cancel my new compuserve 2000 account and that the classic = account would still remain accessible. To do this I would have to download compuserve 2000 (they would send me = the cd). So I agreed (I was going to drop them anyway). Well, the cd = never came.

Are you speaking of Compuserve Office? I have an acoount there, because they were (or still are) very cheap for dial-in over the day. At night they were expensive. But now that I go online via DSL, I don't use CSO anymore. > 3) "classic", with the six,four numeric username and accessibilty all over > the world but charged 10 $ per month even when not used.

So I did. Now I don't payy any monthly fees for CS classic anymore, but I don't know the per-minute rate, because I only use it rarely and only when I'm travelling. But it works phantatically with hte palmtop and Post/LX.

My ISP is pacific.net which is based in both Hong Kong and Singapore. But the iPASS and GRIC services are international. It is a network of ISP's. When you are travelling, you can log in to a local ISP in their network and check your mailboxes as if you are logged in to your home ISP. The only difference I have found is that, since my mailboxes are not hosted by my home ISP, I can not use the SMTP of my home ISP to send since I am not logged in to the home ISP. I have to find out the domain name and use the SMTP of the iPASS ISP. But that is because one of my mailboxes does not provide its own SMTP. You log in just like at home, except that the for user name you include the name of your home ISP (username@ISP). The password is the same as your home ISP. My experience is that CHAP script, or my variant of it, should be OK. If not, there is generally a note on the list as to which script to use, and login scripts can be downloaded, but of course they are all Windoze based, but I think the scripts for Macintosh are in ASCII. There is a list of dial in numbers available for each country, and it seems to cover most countries in the world, and most cities in each country (eg, 3 cities in Mongolia and Zimbabwe). There are web sites for both iPASS and GRIC. You can search for them. You can check with your home ISP to see if they are part of the network. Hope this helps.

A flat out guess is, that the software is designed to execute in the ROM and would be "playing" with the memory mapping in the 700LX.

Is each line the same length? How large is the file? Is your 350 line example just an example or is it close to the size of the file? If your original file isn't much longer than 350 lines a text editor with blocking that indicates the line number will be the easiest way to do it. Qedit or TSE for example. If the program is less than about 1000 lines long the entire process in qedit shouldn't take more than 30 seconds to a minute. If each line is a different length then that makes a text editor a better choice even if the file is longer. Further, you can create a qedit macro to do this and automate it to run from a batch file if you have to do this daily. I use qedit so that would be my choice but I think any good editor should be able to do the same thing. If the file is very long or if the lines are the same length, some of the utilities mentioned might be better.

The PocketJet II only works with the dark side. The cable requirement is as described by other replies. The Shier cable is the best option by far. Unfortunately, it looks as if Shier won't be supplying any thing to us any more. They recommend contacting Thaddeus, so I guess that's your only option.

All about cables, also for printers, is described on http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/rs232 It's relatively easy to make your own serial cable, if the Pcketjet is a serial printer. If it is a parallel printer, you need to buy (or make, but that's difficult) a serial->parallel converter.

If so, you can at least replace the Pentax "serial cable" (which actually seems to be a serial->parallel converter) by a custom s->p converter where you can adjust the data rate via dip switches. These are pretty expensive, because they use a microcontroller and some other complicated electronics. Or you use the Greenwich cable which is sold by Thaddeus. This one is AFAIK hard-wired to 9600 baud, which should be no problem with the palmtop.

Comments: To: Daniel Hertrich In-Reply-To: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi Daniel, I have a 9600 baud serial to parallel converter that works well with the HP and many printers but the PocketJet (due to its small size) has a proprietary connector and it does not fit (yet). As Bob mentioned the port on the printer is an auto sensing serial/parallel port and the parallel-serial conversion occurs in the cable. Pentax has two serial cables (a short 'palmtop' cable and a long 'desktop' cable) that they currently sell - having tried one (the 'palmtop' Pentax part no 203236-552) and not had it work I am reluctant to try the other. I should have known better as the palmtop cable was touted as being for WinCE machines. (Anyone want a Pentax cable for their WinCE?) If the older Pentax cables that another list member is sending me do not work then I will have to concoct my own cable from a combination of all the different pieces (HP cable, serial-parallel convertor and pentax cable sans its own electronics) I will have accumulated but it will not be as neat as using a Pentax cable spliced to a palmtop cable. OTOH if a list member has an idle Shier cable I will take it :-) As Bob mentioned this is a very nice printer for its size - I already use it a lot with my laptop on travel - (btw Bob not Dos or Windows but Linux). It uses a special high quality thermal paper that looks ok and the paper is readily available from Pentax. Cost per page is reasonable. I also have a Citizen PN60 that works with the HP (I have a Shier cable for it) that I have had much longer and which does color and plain paper/transparencies. The Citizen is larger, slower, more expensive per page (especially color) and has lower print quality. It is becoming difficult to locate ribbons for the Citizen.

Larken Publications." It was considered as the bible about SP, when it was released (hey, it was 22 years ago.. I begin to feel really old ) One other good reference is at http://www.hpmuseum.org/prog/synth41.htm . The main problem with the emulator would be to activate the bug which permited the synthetic programming, as it was based on specific keystrokes....

I have not used IRC/LX , but I was reading a article in March/April 2000 edition of the Palmtop paper at http://www.palmtoppaper.com/ptphtml/50/pt500022.htm just when your message entered my inbox(!). They have a review of IRC/LX in ther HPLX-L section Here it is: "Q: Are you using IRC/LX? A: The short answer is that I have used it a little. It is kind of hard to get used to, especially being an ircII user. Although it is somewhat similar, it is different. It is quite frustrating to be on two channels at the same time. On ircII, it's quite easy to swap between all the active windows and to resize them. Also, there is a plethora of available scripts for ircII and since ircII is basically a DOS port that uses WWW/LX it would be nice to be able to use some of these scripts. One of the most popular scripts for ircII is the one that binds the key so when you press it, it automatically messages the last person that sent you a /msg I'm still trying to figure out some of the different key assignments of IRC/LX. I haven't had a lot of time since I discovered that it was available to play with it. Does the registered version preface the user's domain name with WWW_LX? The docs, IMHO, leave a lot to be desired about the program and if someone isn't very familiar with IRC with a client such as ircII they will probably end up being very frustrated. Honestly, if improvements such as multiple, resizable windows will not be a future option and the ability to write scripts for the client are not implemented, I would be hard pressed to spend $25 for it. This is just my opinion and other users may have other ideas and opinions. There is a program called VIPER that performs basically all of the same functions of IRC/LX but uses the WATTCP stack. The author never finished the software and never finished the /dcc portion of it. It is available at www.agate. net/~tvdog IIRC. It's a shame the author is unreachable and that the source wasn't included with the beta release.

I was a beta tester for it so my opinion is based on that. It seemed to work reasonably well but I was never really a CHAT person. Adjustable windows seems a bit much for use on the HP - it is not Win98 after all. Scripts - well, macros might work in some fashion. But if that other program mentions does what he wants, well, so be it. As was mentioned, typing in a chat environment on the hp and watching the screen at the same time (chats move along swiftly) can be the expected challenge. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 14 Apr 2002 00:45:27 -0400 Reply-To: Andrew Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Andrew Subject: OT: synthetic programming manual for 41C MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >Subject: Re: Who has the Most SC sessions? > Date: Sat, 13 Apr 2002 23:36:46 +0200 > From: Thomas Rundel > >I don't know if the HP 41 emulator supports synthetic programming, >sorry.

I(line 107 in file PDU.SCR) when the Initialisation runs, there is the message: connecting to phone GOT >AT ERROR This must be some command from the former connect, because when I run the terminal program and press enter, I get an empty line and ERROR from the modem.

The tool that I use for such tasks is "sed." To get sed to do what you want, you would type: sed -n 1,100p test.txt > text.tx1 This will print the range of lines from 1 to 100. The "p" means print. The "1,100" tells a range of lines. The "-n" switch means "no output." Otherwise, the program will echo all the lines of the input file. You can also use sed to quickly find the total number of lines in the file by typing: sed = test.txt or if you do not want all the lines of the file echoed to the screen, you would type: sed -n = test.txt Hope this helps.

Well, making a long distance call does not provide as good a connection as dialing a local node, it does work. For many years I worked for a large US-based company. When I traveled on company business I would use their private long distance service, hosted by Sprint I think, to call into the modem pool at my work location in New York. This worked from the UK, Germany, France, Hungary and Japan. Depending upon line quality, sometimes the best I could do was 14.4K baud, but usually I could 28.8K or better. For my personal e-mail I just called the local Compuserve node, and the speed was much higher.

I have the same behaviour with my 32M CF card. If I'm right, the "Card Battery Low" message is displayed because the card draws more current that what is usually allowed.

No. Del=0/1 specifies if you want Post/Lx to delete the messages from the POP server after downloading. Sent messages are always kept in the outbox. I even move all outbox messages to another folder if they reach an amount of abt. 100, this other folder is called "archive of sent messages", is stored on a flash card, and contains already almost 2000 messages, I have started to collect all my outgoing mail at Jan-2002. When Post/LX gets too slow when reindexing etc, I'll move the archive folder contents to the desktop and burn them on CD.

I never thought of this idea before! Thanks Axel! Would work well, provided my correspondents reply with a "References" header as well. POST/LX is the same as Netscape - it will only look in the current folder for referenced e-mail.

Jacques, Axel will be pleased to read this! And, after all Axel now has gone to the trouble of prefixing his quotations with the writer's name, so this is the least we can do.

I(line 107 in file PDU.SCR) Hi Werner, Well, it looks like you use POSTPDU and as I wrote the PDU.SCR I should support it. You have since written to me to say that you were using WWW v2 but when you change to even a demo WWW v3 there is no problem with the modem. I think I understand the situation now. WWW v3 uses a different technique to hang up the modem - it uses DTR. WWW v2 used a "soft" method - and as your serial port is set to 56000 I think WWW v2 would have problems hanging up properly. May I use this as an opportunity to recommend WWW v3? First of all it is officially supported. More importantly it is superior in many subtle ways - the hard hangup, the buffered transport (faster), and the latest release automatically compensates for strange PPP servers. My guess is that WWW v3 will require very little support :) Back to your questions: > when the Initialisation runs, there is the message: > connecting to phone > GOT >AT > ERROR > > This must be some command from the former connect, because > when I run the terminal program and press enter, I get an > empty line and > ERROR > from the modem. > After this I can run the program again once without error. The ">AT" is not from the former connect it is an echo from the present attempt to send "AT" and get "OK". > Where could this command come from? > The last function in the first successful run seems to be > "hanging up". > But where is this command set? The Robot/lx Error tells the answer: Robot/lx Error: ITime out. I(line 107 in file PDU.SCR) > The IRDA Connection is not affected, it runs o.k. all times. That's good at least :) > There is another little thing now: > The SMS on the phone is not deleted, although the program > says it is. Was this an SMS you wrote, or one received? Is it stored on the phone or in the SIM card? Do you use the `Delstored' or `Retstored' options? When you write "the program says it is" what do you mean? The display does flash by pretty quickly and it is not easy to tell what the program says . Only if you have quite a few messages, or a large outbox, do you get the chance to see what is happening. > But in fact, it is still on the phone and downloaded > with each session again. All arrows of my SMS folders are > switched on. How many folders do you have? This could be important. Maybe one of then has "H" instead of downarrow? I see PDU.SCR says it was tested with a ; Motorola: L7089 is that the same as your phone? When PDU.SCR deletes a message it sends a delete command and if it gets an "OK" back then, as far as PDU.SCR knows, the message was deleted. If that is what is happening then there is nothing I can do, sorry. If the command to delete was wrong then the phone should not send an "OK". But, if you do get POSTPDU working fine with your Timeport then I can add it to the list of phones it has been tested with. That would be great! -Tony ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2002 13:50:49 +1200 Reply-To: Tony Hutchins Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Tony Hutchins Subject: Re: dos utility to append one file to another MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Tue, 16 Apr 2002 13:37:34 +1200 (NZT) 15h53m41s ago ...

Even in Unix "cat" or "join" is only for text files. Nope. Both "cat" and "join" behave in the same manner for both text and binary files -- Unix makes no distinction between the two. The output of "join" may of course look rather strange when processing binary files, but both utilities will process every single byte. - Adrian ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2002 19:09:05 -0700 Reply-To: evan koblentz Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: evan koblentz Subject: Re: Fwd: World's first handheld computer?

So what happened to the Jornada 720? or was it an MSOutlook problem? You were my role model is trying out the competition. For me the J720 works fine and serves as the primary work tool. I use MS Outlook as little as possible. I only use it to move address data in/out of the Jornada. Actually, Zaurus 5800, HP200LX and other HPC models have taught me to consider the handheld computer as primary for calendar, contacts, and task information. I don't bother using the desktop at all. That is one reason why I won't consider an HPC w/o some sort of a keyboard or thumbboard. HWR just does NOT meet the need for data input any more than poking at an icon or two, maybe a few characters. I've certainly tried enough units (Palm & PPC) to know that HWR and I don't get along for daily entry activities. In sync'ing to the desktop, I always have the J720 overwrite Outlook data and use Intellisync to link up with Groupwise (required). Thanks to ability of the backup application to be selective in what it backs up, it is quick and easy to back up to a CF card and I haven't had any problems. I have used the backup a couple times when I got to poking at the screen too fast - not letting operations complete before poking at the location where I knew the icon would show up, and the WinCE OS or the GUI got lost and messed up a record thus rendering the whole file unstable.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed An avid Palmtopper, Dr Gerhard Behrens, has this gem: (download at: http://www.lib.umich.edu/libhome/Area.Programs/Near.East/computus.zip ) COMPUTUS CALENDAR CONVERSION PROGRAM Computus.exe (named after the medieval Computus, also a calendar document) is a calendar conversion program for a DOS-platform (it needs MS-DOS 2.11 or later) written in Borlands Turbo-Pascal V.6 and operated by very simple key-strokes. As it is a pre-Windows application no copy/paste facilities are included ( sorry!) but it is quick and does not need much memory or disk space so it works even in small handheld Dos-computers such as the HP200LX making it an efficient tool for the traveling or library browsing crowd. It opens with a vertically split screen with the input or source calendar options (the calendar from which you want to convert) on the left and the output or target calendar options (the calendar into which you want to convert) on the right. The target menu appears only after you have completed the input operations. Conversions can be made directly from any calendar on the left into any calendar on the right but most of the times you will probably change only from or into Christian dates; so although you can change French Revolution era dates directly into the Armenian calendar I doubt that you will often need to do that! At the start you select the calendar of which you know the date by highlighting it with the cursor and pressing . You can then enter first the day, press , highlight the month using the cursor again, press and finally enter the year, followed by . Now you will be switched to the right side where you highlight the calendar which you want to know, press and presto: You have your date (including the day of the week). Historians often need only to know the equivalent month(s) or only the equivalent year(s) of a given month or year respectively. Instead of two awkward operations by consecutively entering the first and the last day in order to obtain the range required you simply press at the day-menu (without entering a day) or/and at the month (*w/o month* is always the first choice in the month-menu) and you get the equivalent in months or years on the right side. Implausible input of dates is checked and the program gives you a short message why your input did not make any sense, e.g. entering Sivish-years into the Mali (Turkish Financial) calendar. Error checking also works on the output side, e.g. Christian dates before 622 AD cannot be converted into Islamic dates as no - chronology exists. Special input rules work for the French Revolution Era (Roman numbers -small or caps - for the years because only those have been used in historical documents) and for the Jalali- and Yezdegerd-eras when days were not numbered but identified by name. In order not to confuse you with the need to spell correctly the name of a given day the menu opens in these cases with prefigured day captions. The program also ckecks if the date input confirms to the rules governing Epagomena (in the Coptic and Armenian calendars) or Ve-Adar in the Jewish calendar and it does not accept 29 February in normal years, or similar nonsense. After getting your conversion you could press to make one more conversion or to quit. ---end of part 1 --- _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed --- part 2 --- Some very basic comments to the individual calendars (a thorough explanation would need a book!): --1. The Christian calendar as in the first menu item is based on Julian dates until the Gregorian calendar reform and later on the reformed dates. In case you need Julian dates even for a period after the reform a separate purely Julian menu item is included at the end of the list. Always bear in mind though that the Gregorian reform was applied from its start only in Catholic states and only later elsewhere (e.g. in England in the 18th century). Still more confusion can arise from different New Year dates, e.g. in some countries the new year would begin on December 25, resulting in different years for dates of the same month of December! The division between BC- and AD-dates runs between 1 BC and 1 AD; historiography does not know a year 0! --2. The Islamic Lunar Calendar is based on the schematic rules applied in historiography (e.g. Encyclopaedia of Islam, Wuestenfeld tables etc.) with two options on the output side : Era beginning 16 July 622 (most accepted date) or 15 July 622. The difference is NOT consistently one day only (there would not have been any need for two options then) as according to the sources consulted the exact sequence of intercalary Islamic years depends on the choice of the era (first day). Anyhow, everybody aware a bit of the problems of the Islamic Lunar calendar knows that a conversion based on arithmetic or even on astronomic data has a margin of error of one day (possibly even more). (Reasons: Actual sighting of the moon in different regions by different people; overlapping of days due to the beginning of the new Islamic day at sunset vs. midnight in modern chronology). Therefore, the day of the week is always given as a convenient method of control. --3. The Islamic Solar Calendar (ruled other than the lunar calendar by purely astronomical criteria conforming to the traditional Shiite preference for calendar calculation based on astronomical data) as used in Iran is relatively new (albeit based on the Hijra-date) as until the end of the Qajar-dynasty other calendars were in use beside the Lunar calendar; so dates until 1304 After Hijra in solar years are rejected. --4. The Jalali-calendar rules have never been without some dispute. I follow Taqizadeh's findings in choosing the most probable solution. --5. The Turkish financial calendar (also known as the Mali- or Rumi-calendar) was in use in the Ottoman empire during its later period, mostly along with the lunar Hijra- calendar. It has rather peculiar rules for aligning the numbering of (longer) solar with (shorter) lunar years by regularly dropping entire years (Sivish-years) apart from other peculiarities and errors were therefore inevitable. Although the Computus-program applies correct conversion rules it is, therefore, wise to counterckeck by comparing the Mali-dates with the often similtaneously given Lunar calendar dates taking into account the day of the week. --6. The Armenians know so-called lesser and greater eras; I applied the greater era which for historiography seems to be the more commonly applied calendar. --7. The Jewish calendar (era: creation of the world) has only been in use since the Middle Ages; nevertheless any earlier date input is accepted (I could simply not resist giving Christian BC-equivalents to dates going back to the creation of the world according to Jewish belief!). --8. To know the date of Easter-Sunday it is only needed to enter the year. The result is computed according to the different methods applied before and after the Gregorian calendar reform.

I was always of the opposite view, that most clients would find the In-Reply-To: syntax much harder to parse than References: - that is the standard USENET way of threading I admit. Don't thay basically contain the same info - except the "In-Reply-To:" can have an extra phrase or two - like a date? Surely the References method is the absolute minimum required? In-Reply-To and References look to be so similar in content and function I wonder why they both exist - could be a relic of a USENET/SMTP war in times past? In any case I just checked POST/LX and both References: and In-Reply-To: are supported, in the same way. The Message-ID gets put into both. Not sure about the threading side though.

I use Times2Tech/Thaddeus NiMH batteries and get around 8-10 hours use before the voltage drops below 2.40 V, at which point I usually recharge. Note that this is still above the voltage where the "MAIN BATTERY LOW" warning comes on. For me, 8-10 hours is long enough to still be convenient, but not so long that I worry about having the batteries fail. If I turn off the battery warnings with the doublespeed driver and let them drain to about 2.12 V, I can get 18-20 hours use. Although this is obviously risky, I haven't had problems with crashes or bad flash card writes in my system. I use Buddy to turn off the serial port; don't know how much power this saves. Cheers. J.

explained at http://myweb.worldnet.net/~repaire/pc1500.shtml.
It's circa 1982. As you noted, it needed programming; to quote
from the site linked above, "The Sharp PC-1500 is an 8-bit
pocket computer introduced in 1982. It is capable of running
programs written in BASIC or can be used as a calculator. It can
also be programmed in LH-5801 machine code. The Tandy TRS-80
PC-2 (Radio Shack) is the same machine with a different keyboard
layout."

That's not actually the computer I was referring to. I was
thinking of the PC-1 (I don't remember the Sharp model number)
that came out quite a bit earlier than the PC-2. It was also a
much less powerful machine than the PC-2.

Later the PC-3 was an upgraded PC-1. There were no upgrades to
the PC-2, but it was pretty expandible anyway.

The PC-1 was much smaller and lighter than the PC-2. It only
came with 1k ram.

This is a chronology of early calculators which includes both of
these. No pictures unfortunately. But it might be the answer
to the earliest PDA.

We had one in the student flat I was in at the time. Three of the four of us bought Casio FX-602P programmable calculators in that time frame - smaller and lighter (fit in a pocket) than the HP 41 which was out of reach pricewise for poor UK students. I still have my 602P and its tape interface and all documentation including some third party programming guides. The calculator was not as comprehensive as the 41 but could save programs to tape and play music through a tape recorder. I still have a number of programs stored to tape somewhere - doubt that they are still readable though. There was also a printer although I never bought one. The calculator was capable of synthetic programming. A quick web search shows the following summary and picture for the curious: http://ernst.mulder.com/calculators/casio-fx602p-body.html The author lists a number of other computers/calculators for consideration.

Yes, it's simply the list of Message-IDs of all the parent messages. Note the plural, though -- a reply can in theory be to several messages at once. (Multiple-parent replies is, in fact, the circumstance I alluded to under which RFC 2822 specifically /discourages/ the construction of References:.) References, on the other hand, is effectively the contents of each parent message's References, plus the contents of this message's In-Reply-To. Late entries in long-lasting threads can therefore have /huge/ References: headers, and there's no standard algorithm for trimming it. To use a data structure analogy, In-Reply-To: is equivalent to a node's parent links in a directed graph, which References: is the entire parent graph up to the root. > > If an MUA /requires/ References: to do threading, it's > > arguably broken. > > Do you know one one MUA that will *not* use References: to do > threading. I assume they can all use In-Repy-To:, but surely > if they can not use References: they are equally broken? You misunderstood. If an MUA /requires/ References: to thread (ie. it refuses to thread without it because (presumably) it relies exclusively on it) it's broken. Proper threading only requires that each message have a correct In-Reply-To header. > What if they get messages with no In-Reply-To, and only References, > then they will be unable to thread them? Since References: encompasses In-Reply-To:, you should still be able to thread. It's just a lot more efficient with In-Reply-To:, since you don't have extraneous info confusing your threading algorithm. Now that you mention it, if a message contains References: but no In-Reply-To:, the sender's MUA is arguably broken. 8-) > Can you give a WWW reference for that opinion?

Thanks Adrian. BTW I just notice your message has an "In-Reply-To:" referriing back to my message, and also a "References:" which actually refers back to the previous message - the one I replied to. Do these 2 headers work together like this? Indeed a threader that just looks at "References:" is indeed broke! :) If there is an "In-Reply-To:" then that should take priority - is this a good general rule? - Tony ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2002 13:50:08 +0800 Reply-To: Adrian Ho Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Adrian Ho Subject: Re: Post/LX bcc: In-Reply-To: <20020416131041.A11237@svr1.03s.net>; from aho-hplx@03S.NET on Tue, Apr 16, 2002 at 01:10:41PM +0800 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii On Tue, Apr 16, 2002 at 01:10:41PM +0800, Adrian Ho wrote (under the influence of an empty stomach, thereby proving that low blood sugar is a major hindrance to clarity of mind): > Nope, In-Reply-To.

The HP-41C required the Time Module to meet all these requirements; the Extended Functions/Memory module supplemented the text-manipulation capabilities, but synthetic programming was the first technique which made it possible. The HP-41CX had both these modules, as well as the full 319 x 7-byte data/program registers (6KB) of memory, internally, up from the base '41C 63 registers. The HP-41 was the first hand-held that HP called a "computer" (sample ad: http://www.hpmuseum.org/adverts/41nasaad.jpg ), and was used by NASA on early shuttle missions (not the first HP in space - the HP-65 was used as a back-up for docking maneuvers on Apollo-Soyuz missions). Released in 1979, I'd argue it was truly the first hand-held computer (mine is s/n 1930A00163). I maxed that out, then upgraded to the HP-41CX when it shipped (1982?) and used that for years, until the '48SX with 128K (expandable to 384K) came out in 1990. With the HP-IL peripherals (including printer and tape drive) the '41 was an extremely capable machine. I wrote a tape operating system for mine, as well as appointment and address-management routines. There was even an HP-IL composite video adapter available. Between PPC Journals, CHHU Journals, and a number of books (Wickes, Mier-Jedrzejowicz, Jarett, Dodlin), there was a considerable library on the '41. Including the manuals, PPC & CHHU Journals, and assorted books, I probably have 4-5 feet of HP-41 reference materials (rivalling some contemporary mainframe reference libraries).

I cannot remember the exact model( maybe Fx 780?), but it had a alphanumeric keyboard (qwerty if am not mistaken) and could be programmed in Basic. It had 16K Ram memory expandable to 32K I believe. It must have been built in the mid 80's because I bought in 1989 and it was already an old model. Somebody stole when I left it in the University library(sh***t). It had some PDA-like features.It was really nice and powerful. In fact it was sold as Casio (FX 780) Personal Computer ( maybe not the exact name). Also some of my friends had similar casio calculators, without the scientific functions which were branded as personal assistants. Maybe Casio were the first?

The card battery low warning is triggered by one PCMCIA pin being driven high or low (can't remember). At the time, the palmtop was released, the PCMCIA specification was in a pre-release state. This might explain, why that pin was only used as battery low signal for battery powered SRAM cards then. But today some cards and CF adapters seem to have this pin driven "wrong" in terms of the palmtop BIOS. The most popular card is the Accton ethernet card. If you want to get rid of the warning, one way is to install LXPROMIN (or LXPRO), which disables the warning for years already.

I'm not sure I'd consider a real time clock essential. Very nice but without it it can still handle everything but scheduling. The HP48SX was only 32k, upgradable to 292k. Actually it could have more than that with bank switching cards but the bank switching had to be done by the user. I remember seeing 512k cards advertised. There may have been larger ones. I don't know if they could be used in both ports or not. I just has 2 128k cards in mine. The 48GX was 128k and could do it's own bank switching larger cards. Mine has 2.25 meg with the 2 meg card and the 128k card and the original 128k. There are 4 meg cards available, too.

I remember the scrolling line but not how many characters it had. It's been a long, long time. :) From what I've been reading, the PC-1 (It was actually not numbered but it was commonly called the PC-1) had 1.5k and the PC-3 had 3k. I thought I remembered them having less than that. One of the really dumb features was the way it handled arrays. Variables could only have 1 letter names so there could only be 26 of them. But you could subscript them. However, A(1) was the same variable as either B or B(0). That can make things really confusing and I seem to remember that it did. But I also remember finding ways to make use of that. I can't rememeber what they were now. :) Another severe limitation was that all strings were 40 bytes long. No longer and no shorter. Or, maybe it was that there was a single 40 byte string and other strings were part of they variable array system. Something like that. Do you remember?

Radio Shack also had something like this called either the PC-5 or the PC-6. I forget which. It was made by Casio so it may be the same thing. I bought it when my PC-3 quit working because PC-3s were no longer available. The Basic was totally different and far less useful. The PDA features weren't bad but I had no interest in them. There was also what they called an assembler but was in fact an interpretted language with instructions that looked like assembly opcodes and modelled a 16 bit CPU. Programs written in this ran many times slower than programs in Basic and it was even less powerful than the included Basic. I think I gave it to somebody who could use the PDA functions.

We are obviously not talking about exactly the same machine. I just got my handbook out, printed in Japan 1984. The 1401 has 4.2 kB of RAM, the 1402 10.2 kB. They use two 2032 Lithium cells that last forever. You are right about the exactly 26 "standard" variables, for which U=U$=A(21)=A$(21), and which are permanently kept in memory and can be used outside prgrams. You can define other arrays up to two dimensions with byte-wide indices each, thus up to 65k elements. Variable names can have two significant letters, the second of which can be a digit (i.e. 0 to 9). Standard text variables can be up to 7 characters long, for text arrays you have to state a length in the DIM command. And it is totally incompatible to any HP LX variant, so we should no go on too much about it.

Part 2 is the email package POST.EXE and you have to describe to it your folders, various email addresses etc, and RoboNews/LX the newsgroup part which again needs descriptions of what to do. Even in Netscape you have various parts such as who you are, the names of servers, appearance, etc. etc. But the difference is that it is all in one CONFIG file. We do not have that luxury in the palmtops. Almost everyone who tackled the installation, succeeded. Sometimes it takes a bit of a nudge, an explanation, whatever from me, or Tony, but it is minor. Just d/l the packages (WWW3EXE, POST3.EXE and ROBONEW.EXE) from our website - see http://www.dasoft.com/filelist.htm ) and unpack them. Then DO READ the files that end with DOC.

POST/LX will indeed place a Message-ID in an In-Reply-To: header, but at the moment the threading works only on "References:".

I really wanted one but the price was just too steep in those days. I had to settle for the PC-3. They had practically nothing in Common. The PC-2 had far more expansion capabilities and far more computing power and a much more normal Basic. There was also an assembly development kit sold by Radio Shack for it.

There is a picture in the site you previously pointed out: http://pocket.free.fr/index.html I think it could be considered one of the first PDAs. If you take a look at the picture you will see it had the words PERSONAL COMPUTER printed on the right hand side of the screen. It also had some external peripherals to which it could be connected for external storage, printing etc. If I ever find a used one I will certainly buy it because it was my first step into the PDA world.

My first computer was the Timex/Sinclair 1000. I believe that it was around 1981 or 1982. I recently found an emulator for Timex/Sinclair Basic called Xtender, so I've written a tiny envelope budgeting and finance management program for it. Sooner or later I'll continue with it's development. It is fully functional right now, though... in fact my wife is using that emulator with my program on my desktop computer to manage her own budget and cash flow right now. I have it setup to run with a click of an icon on my Windows 95 desktop, but its a DOS based emulator that will even run (although slowly) on my HP200LX. Finding that emulator allowed me to do things I haven't been able to do for many many years, since I never really was able figure out how BASIC stored and recalled variables into and from data files. (The Timex/Sinclar 1000 automatically and seamlessly saves all of its variables with its programs.) The emulator saves and retrieves it's programs and data directly to and from a file on my desktop, making it really fun and practical for my purposes. Later, (sometime around 1983 or so) I found the Timex./Sinclair 2068 Color computer with 64K of memory. I had a lot of fun with that too. I wrote and used an investment program with my own savings that told me when to buy and sell stocks and how much. I did pretty well with my investment system until I was forced to stop playing the market. I was sent to Germany with the military where I was not able to track my investments, anymore. >Sharp and Radio Shack both sold a pocket computer.

I still have 2 Radio Shack PC-6s and am still using one of them. I purchased a memory expansion chip for it back then to give it a whopping 16K of memory. I did what most said was impossible with that computer. I wrote an elaborate envelope based budget and finance management program on that PC-6 in its proprietary form of BASIC that I'm still using today to manage my own finances. Its variables are always retained when the power is turned off. It runs on a set of lithium hearing aid batteries that lasts a full year for my purposes. With the program, its really nice. Its version of BASIC is very primitive (even more so than the Timex/Sinclar 1000's), but I did find ways around its many limitations. Among many other things, my program on that 16K PC-6 holds a fully searchable database of my last 100 significant transactions, and it still reconciles my checkbook every month... all within only 16K of memory. (I used every trick in the book and also some not found anywhere at all to fit that entire BASIC program and all of it's variables (data) into that 16K of memory.)

All of its string variables had a fixed length of 7 characters, except for its special variable length string variable named "$". That string variable could hold many characters. Yes, the PC-6's limitations were many, but I found ways to work around almost all of its limitations. Hmm... it also didn't offer the common BASIC "code" or "chr$" functions, either. That was a tough one to work around when checking for user input for errors, but I did manage to do it. Once written, my program on that PC-6 worked like a charm using only a few of its keys, and it has served me well for many years now. :-) Cheers!

Hi friends,

in case anyone is interested:
I just came across a very good latin dictionary, which runs on the
palmtop. It is called "words" and is available in several versions
(DOS, Windows, OS/2, Linux) on

On my palmtop, only the "minwords.exe" executable works, the normal

I compared the 2 services at the website of my ISP. GRIC seems to be more expensive. It costs uniformly US$0.20 outside the US and Canada (and $0.10 within). But there are many countries where iPASS charges only $0.10 per minute. In both cases, $0.20 is the max. It is certainly cheaper than long distance to the home ISP.

Last night I received spam offering financial services. There was something about this particular piece of email that would crash Outlook Express whenever I attempted to delete it. Eventually I could not open OE at all because this spam was at the top and when OE tried to show it in the preview pane it died. I managed to locate my OE database folders (in my case my inbox is called inbox.dbx). I copied my inbox to a backup file. Then, using a hex editor I dug around and found the offending spam. I could not see anything unusual about it except for the fact that the sender's email address was about 100 characters long. Using my hex editor I blanked out all occurrences of this address. Don't use a text editor for this, you will corrupt your inbox. I then restarted OE and was able to delete the spam. I hope this may be helpful to others in a similar predicament.

Depends. They are always available and not deleted ending one program and starting another. And you can write for z=1 to 5 ... A(Z) ... next Z where using A,B,C,D,E would be a bother. I too have not used them as an array, but then I like most often use only a small subset of programs' capabilities.

For first-hand details, visit: http://www.oqo.com ) ----- Modular PC Downsizes the Computer Wed Apr 17, 8:23 AM ET By JIM KRANE, AP Technology Writer NEW YORK - A little-known San Francisco company called OQO Inc. announc= ed on Tuesday a "modular" computer that crams processor, memory, battery and storage into a package the size of a paperback nove= l. When the $1,000 Ultra-Personal Computer hits stores this fall or winter= , it will operate as a stand-alone wireless handheld computer, akin to a Pal= m, the company said. Or it can be used as a "modular PC" that connects to = a full-size keyboard, mouse and monitor to replace a desktop PC. For now, handheld computers of its size ? such as those running the Pal= m and Microsoft Pocket PC operating systems ? merely synchronize with a computer's personal organization software. The portable OQO goes furthe= r, becoming the central computing entity. "This is a full Windows XP computer that fits in your pocket," said Col= in Hunter, executive vice president of OQO. "Desktops are pretty much dead= . Most people would prefer to have a computer they can carry around with = them all the time." The 5-inch by 3-inch device runs Microsoft Windows XP Professional on a= Transmeta Corp. Crusoe processor, of up to 1 gigahertz. It also bundles= 256 megabytes of RAM, a 10 gigabyte hard drive, and two wireless networking= connections ? using the 802.11b and Bluetooth standards. A docking cable allows it to connect with an external keyboard, mouse a= nd monitor. It can also be networked to an existing PC or laptop through a= n Ethernet cable or wireless connection. When undocked, the device's batt= ery life is similar to a laptop's, at 3-8 hours, depending on use. OQO is currently negotiating licensing agreements with electronics companies who could manufacture and market the device. A version manufactured and sold under the OQO brand is also possible, a spokesman= said. Start-up OQO, founded in 1999, includes engineers and designers from Ap= ple Computer, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, IBM Corp., the Massachusett= s Institute of Technology, Oracle Corp. and Transmeta. In February, IBM announced it would license technology for a similar device, known as the MetaPad, to vendors.

So take a little sheet of aluminium foil and put it on the screen. Takes up zero disk space, is easy to obtain, cheap, and when you occasionally don't need your LX as a mirror, but for other important things, e.g. to play DOS 5.0 or press on topcard keys to make it beep so nicely, you can remove the aluminium foil and store it folded in the PCMCIA slot or in the battery compartment. But take care not to damage anything with a short circuit! ;-) Seriously: If you want a black screen to try that, simply press On-+ for some time and the screen will be as black as it can be. So the mirror software is even already built into the LX's ROM.

The company is called Oqo - see http://www.oqo.com. Unlike the article below, they are San Francisco-based (1800 Illinois, SF 94124). The machine is wonderful, but not out until 2nd half 2002. Price expected to be about what subnotebooks cost, and below, but we'll see. The physical specs: dimensions (mm) weight (gm.) OQO: 22 x 74 x 105 250 200LX: 25 x 85 x 159 318 Screen is new technology, 200 dpi, 4" diagonally measured screen, equivalent to 12-14" screen on notebooks. Very high VGA resolution. The screen consumes about 20 times less power than notebooks' screens. Chip is Crusoe TM5800 - 1GHz - fast and lean on power. They seem to target it to the music/entertainment market: They talk about how many MP3 files and MPEG movies they can store on the drive, the high fidelity of the audio and so on. I think they are trying to ride on two markets: Those who need small notebooks and are tired of carrying 2-3 machines, and the entertainment market. Strange combo but may just work for them. I think they have one solid vision: They perceive that people are tired of carrying notebooks AND PDAs and synchronize between them. So they make a machine you can use all day. I also see shortcomings: e.g. You'll either have to use the touch screen to "type" input on a simulated kbd, or "scribe" input as in Grafitti, or carry a tiny keyboard with you. Still nice machine. Hope it will see the light of day. I think I want one. Enjoy! Avi At 4/18/02 -0400, John J Vanderstel wrote: >I found the following report and checked out the website. Sounds rather >interesting.

In this mode you take your brick and dock it, using full size monitor, kbd etc. Design makes little difference here. Sure some morons will buy it because it is pretty disregarding functionality. But most people (hopefully, unless the human race deteriorated into deeper idiocy since I last checked) will but the function of the machine.

The design of the whole thing is ok to me, but >I'd like to take a peek inside... After sleeping on it I don't think >that it is possible to actually build such a device with all the >features. I beg to differ. I am not connected with Oqo in any way so I know nothing more than is public about them and their machine. But I have some other relevant experience. I used a machine along the lines of Oqo a few months ago. A friend of mine commissioned a private design along the lines of the "HP 260LX" which was literally invented in this community (I can post again the initial April Fool's Day Announcement of the HP 260LX which started it all.) A run of 25 was ordered and executed. I used one for a few weeks, and it is everything that a 260LX was dreamed to be, and then some. The Oqo is very similar to it. Second: About 3 years ago, I participated in a group of mostly computer engineers and computer manufacturers executives from Asia. The group had full designs ready for serious prototyping and preliminary market testing. None of the experienced engineers and executives had any doubts that such a miniature subnotebook can be built, manufactured, and sold successfully. (This effort died when the financial crisis hit banks and industry in Asia.) Third: In 1996-1997 one of my customers rebuilt the HP100LX motherboard to contain a 486-look-alike cpu of their own design. We sent it to HP in Singapore with a proposal to use that chip in the sequel machine in the LX family. That motherboard worked for 2 months at 100MHz on 3 AAA batteries. HP ignored it since it was not invented in Singapore's labs, it could not have been good :-( ... These are three examples that I know personally well and in detail. A year ago I saw a machine demonstrated the size of a 200LX which came out of IBM. It was no longer in research, but instead being sold to engineering companies that survey the insides of ships, oil rigs, and other huge structures. They use it to go into the spaces between the double hulls of tankers, into the spaces in the "legs" of the oil rigs, etc, and inspect there the structure for fatigue, cracks, and other deformations and damages. The engineer-surveyor wears one of these IBM machines (486 at 200MHz, plenty of memory, large disk, driving a holographic-like display), crawls in, and works for a few hours, checking on CAD files from the disk, to compare with reality, taking pictures with digital cameras, marking areas of concern or attention, and so on. IBM has been selling these puppies for 3-4 years already. >When I think about the power-consumption of a display like >the one featured here, 256MB RAM, the CPU and a harddisk..... Even >with a microdrive, 3-4 hours is the max you can get with a battery >that fits in the shell of the oqo :-\ The power consumption of this screen is unusually small, extraordinarily small. The CPU we put into the 100LX motherboard used 1/10 to 1/15 of the power consumption of normal mobile-application chips, and lower voltage - so heat was much much lower. RAM can be built today to run on nearly nothing. I think that 3 years ago, even 2 years ago, these limitations you mention were answered only by extreme design. Now the power consumptions of items can be very low without heroics. However, these components are not mainstream - YET! This is a question of demand for the components, no longer a question of having to design and build them... Avi _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

HP leads the palmtop PC market by concentrating on key customer needs, such as screen size, quality, total cost of ownership, and a variety 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 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 apologize 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 You Yahoo!?

Note that the 486SX is also 32/32bit processor, simply lacking an FPU. I did ask Intel about the iSB60168 (Hornet IC) and they told me the design is fully owned by H-P and they did return all docs to H-P, after the fab production ended in late 1999. Without docs, it seems to be a huge task to replace the Hornet CPU in situ. Instead, I could imagine someone making a new CPU for the 200LX, mounted on a PCMCIA card, as the LX's TypeII socket allows for X-CPU mode. Even this would require one significant engineering effort. >That motherboard worked for 2 months at 100MHz on 3 AAA >batteries.

That must have been before I had even heard of this list. That was a long time ago. You might get a very different reply to that inquiry, now. What would it take to interest your friend in making another small quantity of those 486's? You should be able to get an adequate amount of pre-paid orders for one of those 486s from this list. I would be the first to pre-pay for one! There is always a way around those kinds of obstacles. It just requires the right kind of incentive and compensation, that's all. Exactly how many list subscribers would be willing to submit a pre-paid order for one of the fore mentioned 486s, and how important is it to them? Cheers!

It indeed works well downloading a calendar from the desktop to the lx.. I finally figured it out: 1) Download and install OL2LX on the desktop. 2) Copy my "appt.adb" file from the lx to desktop. I use the LBL serial port network for this. 3) Point OL2LX to "appt.adb". Specify "outlook to lx" conversion. Create a new file name, "new.adb". Convert. 4) Copy "new.adb" to the lx. Test it. 5) If (4) looks good, rename "appt.adb" to "backup.adb", rename "new.adb" to "appt.adb". 6) Enjoy your outlook calendar on your lx! I know this all may seem intuitvely obvious to most of you but I don't mind admitting that it took a while for me to get this working. Many thanks to Curtis Cameron for such a nifty utility.

If so, is there any possible cost effective way that the unit could be modified to meet those needs? Hearing about your related experiences and contacts, I couldn't help but wonder if those opportunities were indeed fully tapped at the time or if they might even now offer new opportunities? As you can tell. I'm not one to give up easily. I take pride in digging deeper and being more persistent than most to look for hidden opportunities within initially unsuccessful experiences... sometimes even years later. ;-) There's got to be a way...

I use the built in 56k modem of the J720 and the RJ11 socket. I could send a test mail from CIS to Netway today, so the smtp of cis worked however the pop's of both isp's did not. The finishing comments of the online run were : Mailhost CIS : Connection timed out Mailhost Netway : unable to resolve pop server address I double checked server names and authentication settings - they were correct.

I am not sure you intended it that way but here are a few things to consider: 1) Avi's business (not hobby) has been palmtops for far longer than many people on this list. Given that until recently his income has depended on this do you not think that he has almost certainly tried every avenue to get a viable successor to the 200LX? 2) Even if every one of the 500 or so people subscribed to this list offered to buy 3 LX successors at $2000 each it would not be sufficient to convince anyone with the financial backing capable of developing and modifying a 486 improvement to the LX to proceed - the market is too small to provide a reasonable return on investment. 3) You claim to be a dedicated chaser of possibilities but Avi has to hand you information on a plate about prior attempts that he and others have made to find an LX successor. Many of these attempts have been discussed previously either in the HPLX list or HPHAND on Compuserve (pre HPLX list). How many palmtop vendors have you contacted to lobby for an LX alternative? 4) Having been provided with information that IBM has an interesting device available you ask for more information from Avi - did you do a web search to try to find more information? I apologise if this criticism sounds harsh but it was the opinion I formed as I read the tone of your posting to the list.

So I think I should throw in a little success story about LX repairs: This weekend I have repaired a few LX screens with missing pixel columns. So far I have a success rate of ~60%, having attempted to repair 7 screens, 4 of them are now working again. So, don't lose your hope if pixel columns or even rows are disappearing: There is a good chance that this can be repaired.

I don't have the numerical server adresses apart from DNS1 and DNS2. It is unlikely that the POP3 servers of two different ISP don't work at the same time. I must have made something wrong on my side. In any case I'm not very enthusiastic about working under PocketDOS. I tested ROBOWEB/LX on the J720 again today and it is so slow that I terminated the online run. It's close to useless.

But its content captured the imagination and attention of many of us, because the vision of the machine described was what we are yearning for. Since then it fueled two efforts, and the Morphy, perhaps others too. There have been also several developments by various sources - all of which indicates that such a machine is possible to make technically, and possibly from the marketability POV. And the emergence a few days ago of the Oqo machine (see www.oqo.com or www.dasoft.com/oqo for screenshots of oqo.com's website if you cannot get the pages) further stokes the fires.

Oh, you went deep into the analysis. We did it once and we think it'll take anything from $1.5 to $15m to seed a successful manufacturing of such machines, assuming we had a good design and some reasonable marketing. it would take selling about 10,000 per year for about 3 to survive and break even. >3) You claim to be a dedicated chaser of possibilities but Avi has to hand >you information on a plate about prior attempts that he and others have >made to find an LX successor.

Oops, I did not see the request to hand over info and I am handing over nothing. The last design is not mine to give. I helped in the job, but was paid for my effort. The Asian group that fell, I was part of the design, but I am only one vote among several and they ALREADY voted twice to NOT release the designs and plans and rights.

In your original link, going to the Sony page for the Vaio and hitting the "Look At Me" link gets a rotatable image.

Here it is the VAIO SRX41P, which I consider for us to be one of the best. (If you need a 15" display then this unit fails). The batterie of what we experienced here, is about 5 hours and on an optional battery about 9 hours. According to Sony this is achieved using the new LV technology. The notebook didn't get warm as previous ones I used. The display is excellent. I was in the process of buying one unit yesterday. On the I-Link my JVC camcorder DVX70 is recognized, I could control the camcorder, however no video data are transferred; btw same with a Canon Camcorder. So I stuck in the discussion with may wife.

I am using a hp200lx DS 96 MB on a network (Accton 2216-1). What do you think how long a pair of batteries (Sanyo 1700mA) last? About 8 to 9 hours. Compared to the VAIO using the extra powerpack, the VAIO doesn't look that bad. But on the VAIO you will miss instant on and ... But the VAIO has backlight ..

It had nothing to do with >questioning _anyone's_ competence. So what exactly DID you mean by these words? I felt like you were saying something like: You have been at it for awhile, and know of some opportunities - are you sure you dug in as deep as possible? Are sure, Avi, that you overturned every rock, knocked on every door? Perhaps there _are_ some places you have not dug in. I assure you there ARE many places I did not go and doors I did not try to open. I really use my best judgement at the time. Maybe there are places I missed. I welcome anyone to go dig and open doors and try their own in this, it seems to be a great opportunity that is waiting to be discovered. >We all have recognized the opportunity presented in exchanging ideas and >thoughts with others who have similar interests by the very action we all >took in subscribing to the HPLX-L elist. > >In that spirit, I'm merely expressing a desire to work with you by >helping you to possibly uncover new ideas that could come out of your >experiences that you felt were important enough to relate briefly in this >forum. I would have liked this sentence much more than the other one. Indeed like Gary (and three others who wrote in private) that previous paragraph was offensive to some degree, but I chose to ask why you said it. Next step is this: If in the name of exchange of information and advancing the "cause" you will prevail on my friends and associates again and again, then no, I will not let you do it - I have stretched the friendships and good will as far as they would go in my own attempts. I was rebuffed unfortunately. So you do not get to share the names and emails of these good folks ... To the extent I am allowed to use proprietary information that belongs to others, to further our "cause", I will. I already have, but maybe there are things I have not thought about which I can still share. But I will not betray the trust given to me and disclose what I am not at liberty to disclose. I must place myself as the only judge of where the line is. To the extent that I can use my brains to provide insight and ideas I will do it to further our "cause". I always have done it in this forum and for this community when I could. >Sometimes this angle of approach is much more effective, efficient and >considerate than a series of requests for more raw details that the other >may not want to share for professional, personal or other reasons.

I have an old Compaq Contura Aero laptop, made back when Compaq was a high-end computer, although this was their low-end laptop. It has a 486sx with VGA (there are color and mono models). It weighs about the same as those tiny Sonys. It's about the same size. Maybe a little smaller but for sure a little thicker. It weighs 3 pounds. The mono one gets about 6.5 hours on an extended battery. The color one gets about 5.5 hours. They're available on Ebay. You can probably get one on any given day for $60 or $70 but I watched a lot of them go for as low as $40. I paid $40 for my mono one and $44 for my color one and they're both like new. The mono one even came with the docking station. This isn't going to replace the 200lx. You'll have to be about 40 feet tall to have pockets big enough to carry it. It does have hibernate but it's not exactly instant on. More like 45 seconds but everything is saved. It's a pretty nice computer. I use Dos 6.22 although one came with Win31 and the other came with Win95.

I wanted something for Dos and I know the 400 and 500 series Omnibook aren't that good for Dos. I didn't know what the 600 series was so I never thought to look for them. I thought they were just a plain vanilla laptop and I have a pretty good one for Win98.

Its my hope that this post will finally put an end to the whole misunderstanding, but If you must respond to this post, please read both parts first. First of all, I would like to thank Avi for not automatically assuming the worst when there was speculation that my post somehow had an offensive tone. As Avi mentioned and correctly gathered from my history of personal posts, I can indeed get excited when I see a possible solution to a long time goal. That's because it would be completely out of character for me to sit on the sidelines and watch everyone else jump to a task that I had the ability to do myself. Please don't mistake my enthusiasm for an offensive tone in the future. >>We all have recognized the opportunity presented in exchanging idea >>and thoughts with others who have similar interests by the very action >>we all took in subscribing to the HPLX-L elist. >> >>In that spirit, I'm merely expressing a desire to work with you by >>helping you to possibly uncover new ideas that could come out of your >>experiences that you felt were important enough to relate briefly in >>this forum. > >I would have liked this sentence much more than the other one. Indeed >like Gary (and three others who wrote in private) that previous paragraph >was offensive to some degree, but I chose to ask why you said it. As I wrote earlier, I still don't understand how my original innocent comments could have possibly been taken as having an offensive tone, but sadly, its apparent that that did indeed happen. I was simply attempting to offer my help in coming up with new ideas based upon our collective experiences. That's all. In fact, it was me who recently posted a big kudo to Avi for all he's done for us all. To take my comments as having anything other than a positive tone would be putting me completely out of character in relation to my history of posts here. My apologies to those who did somehow mistake my earlier rather enthused offer to help as having an offensive tone. - continued - Sincerely, John Vander Stel Grand Rapids, Michigan ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

I was rebuffed >unfortunately. So you do not get to share the names and emails of these >good folks ... As Avi acknowledged in an earlier post, I never demanded anything from him... and I didn't specifically ask for his private contact information, either. I asked only for what information he felt comfortable about sharing, if he could use my help. That's all. In fact, the questions I asked didn't _require_ any specific answers. They were innocently meant to encourage the formation of new ideas. Avi's private contacts are indeed his own. It's not my place to impose myself on his private contacts. For further reference to my intent, please see my comments at the end of this email about my last comment in my previous post. >To the extent I am allowed to use proprietary information that belongs >to others, to further our "cause", I will. I already have, but maybe there >are things I have not thought about which I can still share. But I will not >betray the trust given to me and disclose what I am not at liberty to >disclose. I must place myself as the only judge of where the line is. Again, I never asked Avi to betray his trust with anyone and I never will. I will _never_ betray anyone's trust, so it would be hipicritical for me to ask someone else to do that. That is another reason for the last comment I made in my original post. Sadly, its obviously that it too needs clarification. Again, you'll find that at the end of this post. >To the extent that I can use my brains to provide insight and ideas I >will do it to further our "cause". I always have done it in this forum and >for this community when I could. Thank you, Avi. That's all I really asked for. >>Sometimes this angle of approach is much more effective, efficient and >>considerate than a series of requests for more raw details that the >>other may not want to share for professional, personal or other reasons. > >Thank you for the advice. Avi, your reply here sounded like this was indeed the only comment of mine which you didn't actually hesitate in taking it in a negative way. I suspect that your interpretation of that last comment was finally colored by all of the other earlier misunderstandings that managed to snowball. I hope that in light of my clarifications thus far and after again reviewing the above quoted comment, everyone would now take that comment in its intended tone. It was not intended as advise, by any stretch of the imagination! It was none other than an explanation of why _I_ didn't intend to send a series of requests for raw details to _Avi_. It was _my_ attempt to explain that _I_ was trying to be considerate of _Avi_ by not posting a series requests for raw details that _Avi_ might not have wanted to share for professional, personal or other reasons. That's why public speculation of me blatantly demanding personal contact information left me literally speechless. :-( I hope that the above clarification of my earlier comments will finally put a stop to all of the speculation on the elist about an alleged offensive tone. For the last time, my posted comments may have reflected my enthusiasm as Avi surmised, but they were merely an offer of my help and that was all. Any kind of imagined offensive tone was _never_ intended. Now... can we all put this whole misunderstanding behind us and start working together again?

One slot is for the C: drive, they work real well with flash memory cards. One slot is for D: drive which has DOS on it (6.2?). Runs for hours off a rechargeable battery pack or 4 AA cells. Good keyboard (no number pad) and good VGA display (no backlight). One serial, one parallel, one IR port.

I have Word, Excel, HP calculator, HP PIM, DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.1 all safely burned into a chip where I can't bugger them up. It hardly ever crashes (especially if I avoid Windows) and if it does give me trouble I can reinstall everything from the D: ROM in about 15 minutes. I've installed CPACK on it so now it looks and works just like an overgrown 200LX. I can open the PIM data files transferred from the palmtop (but I can only open one thing at a time).

Would you please also check the performance with Stefan Peichl's dspeed? CLK32UP is for real 32MHz quartzes, SPD31 for the Times2Tech 31.xxx MHz quartz (this one has exacly 2* the speed of the original quartz, which has 15.xxx MHz. So these two drivers probably handle timings differently. Have you tried with 32MHz or with the TechSpeed upgrades? Did all time-sensitive peripherals (PCMCIA slot, IR, serial port) work well with both drivers? There is also said to be a speed increase if you turn the LCD off while the LX is working (this can be done using the SPD31 driver with a hotkey, or using an external program available on SUPER). That means, refreshing the screen takes up processor time.

Most of these messages were posted to the list, but I figured I'd sum them up here. There's some really interesting comments and I'd like to thank everyone who contributed. ----------------------- Original Posting: > Could anyone who uses Buddy (or something similar) please post your type > of palmtop (HP100/200, DS or not, 32M or not), type of batteries (Lithium, > NiMH & mAh, NiCad, Alkaline, etc), any PC Cards used regularly, and how > long those batteries usually last. ------- From: Victor Roberts I have a 2X, 32MB 200LX with an 80MB Sandisk CF card. I use old NiMH batteries that I think are rated at 1200mahr. (They were purchased from Thaddeus some time ago.) I normally get 5 to 6 Buddy hours per charge. In my old 1X, 1MB, 100LX these same batteries would give about 12 to 16 Buddy hours. I believe this reduction in battery time is normal for two reasons. First, when I am working, the LX is working twice as fast as my old 1X machine. On that basis alone I should expect 6 to 8 hours from these batteries in a 2X machine. The other issue is that the 32MB upgrade has changed the way I use my LX. I use the 32MB LX for more CPU-intensive activities than I used the 1MB 100LX for. This means less "idle" time and more power consumption. When I first got my 95LX I played Tetris a lot and used up a pair of alkaline batteries in just a few hours, vs. over 20 hours for "normal" operation of the 95LX with alkaline batteries. -------- From: Etienne Lemaire I'm using NiMH 1600 rechargeables. I seem to go from 2.8v to 2.25 in 6 to 9 hours, occasional modem and network card usage. All as shown by Battlog. -------- From: Alchemija OK, I use Buddy on HP100LX SS with permanent CF 32 M, earlier - with 20 M Flash card. The time vary depending on batt. tipe. As earlier the internal DC circuit did not worked and I had to charge batteries "off board" so I made a dbase of batteries time used. So the longest time was on NiHm 1600 - it was up to 32 hours, avg. 25~26 h. Besides I've noticed that when rechargable batteries are used I marked them as "alkalines" in setup, so low batt warning came up at lower voltage - thus longer batt. useage. -------- From: "James P. Grenert, MD, PhD" I have a 5 MB doublespeed 200LX which is used 100% of the time with a Sandisk 48 MB compact flash card. I use Times2Tech/Thaddeus NiMH batteries and get around 8-10 hours use before the voltage drops below 2.40 V, at which point I usually recharge. Note that this is still above the voltage where the "MAIN BATTERY LOW" warning comes on. For me, 8-10 hours is long enough to still be convenient, but not so long that I worry about having the batteries fail. If I turn off the battery warnings with the doublespeed driver and let them drain to about 2.12 V, I can get 18-20 hours use. Although this is obviously risky, I haven't had problems with crashes or bad flash card writes in my system. I use Buddy to turn off the serial port; don't know how much power this saves.

Again, search the list archives. Lastly, there is a mainly Unix (?) program called GhostScript that had an earlier DOS version that might be useable. They also have a PDF->Text converter.

The original Times2Tech Techwpeed crystal is a 31.673 MHz quartz. And be sure not to use a quartz which has that frequency as one of its harmonics, but as the base frequency. Otherwise you will make your palmtop much sloooooower! I once tried to use such a "32MHz" quartz, but its base frequency seems to have been something like 4 MHz.

What other specs does it have? I know the following about the models (I can be wrong about the exact values, but it is something in that range) 300 386 SX25 2-4MB RAM 425 486 SX25 2-6MB RAM 430 486 SX25 2-6MB RAM (different ROM than 425) 530 486 600C 486 DX50-DX75 Color up to 16MB RAM 600CT 486 DX50-DX75 Color TFT up to 16MB RAM 800C 586 100-133 MHz, Color, up to 80MB RAM 800CT 586 100-166 MHz, Color, up to 80MB RAM All have this nice pop-up-mouse (the "paw"), all have external drives (floppy, CD-ROM only 600 and 800), all have parallel and serial port, IR port, similar keyboard. The 600 and 800 are lightly laerger than the others and don't have this 200LX-like case design anymore (these riffles on the top are replaced by a more "modern" looking wave-like design ;-). All up to the 600 have 4 PCMCIA slots. Two of them are normal PCMCIA slots, the two others are only IDE mapped to PCMCIA pin layout, so you can only use them with a PCMCIA hard disk, flash card or/and the OB ROM cards. The 800 uses a standard 2.5" HDD and can take up to 8.4 GB supported by the BIOS, and much more if you run a real OS which doesn't care about the BIOS limitation (Linux is no problem in my 800CT with 10GB hard drive). About compatibility: There are attempts to run Linux or Win95 on the OB5xx and 600, but that's all crap, in my opinion. Power management is totally winded up (only a few minutes battery life with Win95 on the 600), PCMCIA is not usable, and other problems wherever you go. DOS and Win3.1 are fine on the 300-600, if you need more, use an OB800. If you want to listen to MP3 and maybe watch small MPEG4 movies while you work with Windows or Linux, take the 800CT 166MHz. It's really the best. It is the ideal notebook in my opinion. Reasonable battery life, compatible, has even SCSI on-board for the CD-ROM or whatever you like to attach to the SCSI port, it has stereo sound (only over head phones, the speaker is only mono), a well visible large TFT screen, it is robust, and with 80MB it can be very fast, dependent on what you want to do, of course. I compile a whole Linux kernel on it in about 20 minutes (Linux 2.4.17 with many modules). Even IrDA is supported onder Linux now. I have had a 430 and a 600C before, and that was not the right way to go for me. But hey, I'm a DOS and Linux guy. I don't need / like Windows at all. On the 800, there is no problem anymore to run DOS, Windows and Linux in a multi-boot environment. Even DOS under Linux is possible with DOSEMU, and I have managed to run a palmtop environment with Palrun in DOSEMU under Linux, even with networking support, but that was not ideal because I had problems with the graphics, related to a bug in the PAL libraries, so this bug is now in all PAL applications. But it is only visible in some cases and ONLY if you run under a palmtop emulator. Well - I want too far away from the subject I guess. Sorry. > 2. How reliable is the built-in mouse? If it's not broken: VERY reliable. You have to set the mouse accelleration to 1.00 under Windows, so you even have the working range of the mouse exactly assigned to the 800*600 (or, on the OB300-600 to 640*480) desktop. i.e. move the mouse to lower right until it stops, and the arrow is really exactly in the lower right corner. And so on. > 3. How hard is it to find additional drivers, etc.? There are collections on the web. And HP still has support sites mentioning possible incompatibilities and solutions for these. A few drivers are also available. > 4. What price range would be considered fair? In Germany you pay for a 800CT 166 80MB with CD-ROM and Floppy around 350 EUR, I think. > 5. Are the external drives and accessories always sold > separately? No. On ebay you can find many complete offers. But often they are also sold seperately, because the sellers expect higher prices that way. > 6. What else should I look for/expect? Make sure you get the SCSI adapter cable or at least a docking station, otherwise you cannot use the SCSI port! Oops, I see, this is line 99 of this posting, so I'll stop here.

Lillebjorn, Well, when HV is launched by PNS200 the filename is not being recognised. Study this [Action] line from Helmuth's message: [Action] ... h=c:\bin\maxdos.com "c:\www\hv.exe %s" You may also have a line like: h=a:\hv\hv %s If that is the last line in you PNS200.INI hit ENTER after typing it so the cursor goes to the next line. As you know the "%s" is a token for the file name. If you do have that there then HV should start with that file loaded. The only other problem I can think of is - the PNS200.INI file must have fully defined lines. So, if your action line for HV is the last in pns200.ini make sure you have a CR after it. ---- if it still doesn't work, the simplest way to launch HV only is to just have PNS=a:\hv\hv.exe in POST.CFG under the [SYSTEM] section. For this to work, you do not need PNS200 at all. Just the TmpDir, and HV.EXE in a directory of your choice (need not be a:\hv for example. If HV.EXE is in your DOS Path you can just have PNS=hv) ------- OK, if that works, and then you also want to launch view pictures etc from POST/LX you need to have PNS200.EXE and c:\_dat\PNS200.INI. The simplest way to set it up is without maxdos, but then you may run out of memory. So, you could try [SYSTEM] PNS=c:\bin\pns200.exe and in [Action] of c:\_dat\pns200.ini have just PNS=a:\hv\hv.exe %s [If that is the last line in your PNS200.INI hit ENTER after typing it so the cursor goes to the next line.] -------- Next in the level of complexity is to use maxdos. For this to work properly you need to install maxdos as a TSR before running POST.EXE (maxdos -l post.exe maxdos -l in a bat file). And then this line in POST.CFG will give maximum memory: PNS=c:\bin\maxdos.com c:\bin\pns200.exe but then in PNS200.INI, using another maxdos will have no effect I tink as there is no spare maxdos tsr loaded. (It will still work however, and the maxdos will swap if PNS200 is called from file manager, and maxdos was loaded before Sysman was started) --------- I hope this gives you a few ideas. I recommend just PNS=hv for the first attempt. - Tony ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2002 08:47:15 -0500 Reply-To: Gary W Stiefel Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Gary W Stiefel Subject: Does CF card with USB support work in 200LX?

I prefer running the CPACK 200LX emulator under DOS, then it not only reads the palmtop files it uses all the same keystrokes.

For HP Staber: Do you only want GP on the Jornada? I've been using the built in POP3 client as well as IE for web mail and it works just fine for me. Earthlink is my ISP. Earthlink has nodes in Europe too, with no irritating logon script like Compuserve. It's really nice to retreive my email on the POP3 client but not log off the ISP, start reading, run into an interesting link, click on the link, and have IE start up and connect to the url - really convenient. and I have a modem w/o using my CF or PCMCIA slots either. For example, I checked out all of the links in the last HPLX digest while on-line typing this - something I don't normally do - tie up the phone line. At first I was going to work a lot harder on getting PocketDOS going with all of the applications I normally used on the HP200LX, but applications like ListPro and HandDBase or VisualCE work well enough to satisfy the immediate needs at work. I starting using HanDBase when I was trying out the Palm world a couple years ago and I've followed the programmer as he grew into DDH Software - and HanDBase is a very good database all by itself. Sort of like the power of MSAccess with the ease of a flat file database. ListPro is another "gotta have" application for me. I can also thank Nathalie for inspiring me to purchase the English-French dictionary on the J720 - I already had the English-German version. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I miss the size of the HP200LX, and the battery life, but there are real advantages to the J720 or J568. Each person has to decide for themselves what they need. >Well, the exciting adventures of HP Staber continue! You've decided to give the J720 >another chance?

The HP200LX is the correct size and durability, but the non-backlit screen forced me away. Too many powerpoint presentations with room lights only at the back and me squinting at the screen. I'm checking out a Jornada 568 - actually a very nice combination of screen visibility under any lighting. The J720 is somewhat slow at coming up to full brightness when in a car traveling in sunlight, but as long as the sun doesn't fall on the screen, it's usable. Under normal office lighting conditions, I have the J720 at about 1/3 backlight power, the J568 backlight is one notch up from being shut off. One point about independence. Except for maybe loading SW into the units, the J720, and possibly the J568, could run standalone. I don't use Outlook on the PC. I back up to a CF card - quick and easy - no ActiveSync backups. I synchronize to the desktop only to comply with getting my calendar and tasks into Groupwise and to move any files created back and forth. Otherwise I run independent of the desktops or laptops. The keyboard on the Jornada 720 allows me to keep up with meeting notes just like the HP200 - not possible with the Jornada 568 or any HWR or thumbboard system. IOW, my handheld remains my primary tool at work and at home. I have a very nice Toshiba laptop at home that is used very little. I am away from my desk so much at work that I carry all necessary files on my J720, powerpoint presentations included. Although I don't have all the functionality of a desktop, it's good enough, and some applications I like much better on the handheld.

Use a new computer. 2) Use Adobe acrobat for Windows to copy and paste all text to your favorite Word Processor and then save it as a *.txt, *.rtf or *.doc which are all formats you can read in the palmtop (Use Word 5.5 or View in the Palmtop). 3) send the file to an e-mail address somebody mentioned before and you will receive a *.txt file. 4) if you need some images or photographs included in the PDF you can open Adobe acrobat for windows and go to the picture you want save. Then press Print on your keyboard. Open Paint and click on Paste. You can now save the file as as *.jpg which can be opened with lxpic in the palmtop.

If these cards are labeled as CF, they meet the CF standard, so they should work in the 200LX. Built-in USB support probably means some kind of signal level adaption or tolerance for different signal levels or timings, which _could_ affect the ability to be used with the 200LX, but don't have to. So, if there is the chance, try the card, and if it doesn't work, return it. But for serious work I would always recommend Sandisk cards. A little more expensive, but they _do_ work.

These questions appear so often here (CPACK under Win95, 98, ME, 2000, XP...) that I suggest we collect all reports and howtos somewhere. If you send howtos to me, I can make them available either on www.palmtop.net (will have to negotiate that with David) or on my homepage. So please, send me complete howtos for running CPACK under Windows! And it would be nice if you allow me to publish your email address so anyone having problems can ask the howto writer directly.

The difference is a mechanical "key" at the sides of the card. If you take a CF card or A PCMCIA card, you see notches at the sides. These notches prevent you from plugging a card into a slot which has the wrong power supply. The palmtop only provides 5V and 12V to a PCMCIA card. There is no pin with 3.3V and a 3.3V card will not fit into the PCMCIA slot of the LX.

Thanks for everyone's prompt response. I don't think I was clear enough with my question. I currently use a 16 MB CF card from Sandisk with a CF-to-PCMCIA adapter in my 200LX. I'd like to use the Lexar 64 MB card, but I've never heard of a CF card that has built-in USB support. I'm wondering if the presence of USB support in a CF card is a problem when it is used with a 200LX. Before I spring for this card, I'd like to know that it's going to work OK.

Constant voltage, just like Pb. But be very careful, they are extremely particular about voltage and on top of that there are two types which I do not know how to distinguish between. The 3.6 V ones want 4.1 V and the 3.7 V ones 4.2 V for charginbg, both voltages +/- 50 mV. If you charge them only 1% too high they'll begin to decompose - to metallic Li which burns nicely after they burst - and 1 % too low makes you lose capacity - 7 % less for 100 mV less charging voltage. This is also the reason why they are never charged in series like any other kind of cell is but always have a dedicated controller across every cell in a series configuration. So do it just a bit not right and you'll soon know, apart from that no problem.

Worst case is you could blow the 5 volt power supply. It would be best to add a second slot and also increase the amout of current availible by tapping directly into the batteries and AC adapter. > > I am also wondering, does the built-in card driver have the capability to > recognize a second slot or a second adaptor?

Not in so many words. Just as with Pb the current eventually falls down to a very low value. My source did not mention any recommendation to lower the voltage. With sealed Pb you charge at 2.45 V/cell until the current drops to capacity/100h and then reduce the voltage to a permanent 2.23 to 2.3 V/cell. For Liion I have not found such a recommendation, so apparently you just keep the voltage constant.

A certain amount of current limiting is nothing more than plain common sense and will mostly be to keep the size and price of the charger within bounds. According to my source, these cells can initially take a current of C/1h to C/0.5h (or 2A/Ah), which is far more than any charger I'd build would be capable of. One thing more is worth mentioning: LiIon do not take at all kindly to deep discharge, below 2.4 V irreversibly ruins them. Should the voltage be 2.5 V or less, you must reduce the initial current to a few mlliamps (my source says 5 mA, which without telling what size cell they are referring to is nonsense, lets call it approximately 5mA/Ah or C/200h) until it has risen appreciably above that.

Also, yes, you need to watch discharging the cells below a certain point. Most battery packs have built in protection circuitry to prevent overcharging or over-discharging. Also, if you approach the minimum deep discharge voltage, you may actually shorten the life of the cells. Cell life can be extended by not going as low. For the packs I built, I used surplus Audiovox BTE-600? packs from All Electronics and left them intact so that I got the benefit of the built in protection circuitry. I get a 4 cell pack that provides 1000 mah capacity and will typically last me all weekend for my low power CW rigs. I built the two packs into a copper-clad case that weighs 9 oz each. I still would like to add a voltage monitoring circuit so I can tell if I am getting close to say, 11 volts in my pack. My charger provides a constant 1.25 Amp initial charge current until it reaches 4.2V per cell. Typical charge time for my pack is 3.5 hours. It switches to constant current after about 1 hour (4 cells). Charging stops, if I recall, when the current draw tapers to 1/30th of the initial charging current. I think the differences in that value determines how "fully" charged the cells become. The initial charge current does 70 percent of the job while the constant voltage down to 1/30th takes it the remaining 30 percent of the way to full charge. Some fast chargers stop at the terminal voltage and do not maintain constant voltage beyond that, but this limits the charged capacity and may affect cell life. I encourage anyone wanting to experiment with li-ion batteries to do so, but do educate yourself about them. john ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: Axel Berger Reply-To: Axel-Berger@NexGo.De Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2002 19:47:42 +0200 >To me that is constant voltage.

The UARTs (serial port interface chips) allow for some variation in frequency, so I do not believe this is a good test of the crystal frequency. The percentage difference between the Times2Tech crystal and a 32MHz crystal is rather small and, I believe, within the error range that the UARTs can adapt to.

It requires robot.exe to be in your dos path. ----------------- PS: Apropos 'useful routines' - you probably know the 700LX. It's PhoneBook allows to dial nubers on the Nokia 2110. Using WWW/LX I may do similar on the 200LX. 1a) Assign following macro to a key of your choice: {Copy}{F3}{F4}s atd{Paste};\r{Enter}{F2}c:\www\dl.scr{F10}{F9} {F9}{F6}{More}- 1b) Adjust the path in the macro to reflect your filing, it should ponit to the SubDIR of WWW/LX containing Robot/LX too. :) 2) Add to AppManager the following: Name: Dial&-IrDA Path: c:\www\www.exe Dial -d "!robot c:\www\dl"|180 Comments: ? Icon: ((see annexe)) 3) Edit WWW.CFG and add following 4 lines: [Dial] Port=-1 Modem=0 Baud=38400 4) Make your phone sensitive for IrDA and allign it with the HP200LX, quit the DOS application (if any), start PhoneBook, search the person you like to call, enter the entry and tab to the number in question (so it is in reverse video). Now press the key you used in step 1a). After a few seconds your mobile dials the chosen number. :) 5) Go back to step 4) as often you like/need/have some money. ;) Well, since I did it I used it rarely (twice). It's only a 'nice to have'. If I only knew a way to start WWW/LX w/o AppMan. Feel free to forward the a. m. to HPLX-L (if you test it to be of a certain degree of usefullness. :) M. ---------------- I append the icon here. It is called AT_2110.ICN. To install it with the application just type at_2110.exe for the "Path" at first, TAB to the icon and then go back and put the "Path" as shown in step 2. - whoops the post with the icon got rejected. OK I'll but the e-amil and icn on my web page. Works with WWW v3 and v2. v2 would need only |170 instead of |180 in step 2. Thanks to "M" there is also a new POSTPDU at http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/th with a new option to restrict POSTPDU to use only one SMS box, no matter which box is selected (highlighted) when the scrpt runs. - Tony ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2002 17:37:50 -0700 Reply-To: patrick@west.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Patrick West Subject: Re: Connectivity pack under Win XP Comments: To: lmittel@ATTGLOBAL.NET In-Reply-To: <5.1.0.14.2.20020425082520.023af400@pop1.attglobal.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I'm sorry I must have forgot to hit reply all on one of the= follow up messages.

No. In fact I didn't install it from disk. I installed from a cd= copy of a zipdisk copy of the already installed cpack. I hate having floppies go bad. So I installed cpack one fine day,= years ago.

Without it the modem will try to pass everything you type on to the other side and not listen to any of it, with a semicolon it expects further commands.

Although much has been talked about the commercial success of i-mode in Japan, I suspect that this is mostly due to the service providers making better use of applications, better Web interoperability and free e-mail with pager-style notification (there is no SMS equivalent). There's no denying that those keitai are cool with built in CCD cameras and MIDI synth ring tones. Hide that Nokia, for they'll laugh! The majority of these things could have been accomplished with WAP had the service providers thought about it /before/ launching services. I think European i-mode will be a flop, given the state of the phone market here. Oh, this was supposed to be about LX interoperability; I don't think that the protocols will change at that level, so it'll still run PPP over IrDA or RS232, I guess.

Desktop By CHRIS GAITHER NYT  4/26/02

Each generation of hand-held computers gets a little

better at sustaining its users between visits to their

PC's. But a model by the OQO Corporation, which is

based in San Francisco, has ambitions to replace its

desktop counterpart.

The device, which weighs nine ounces, has many features

of a hand-held device, including a four-inch color

screen with a soft keyboard for entering data with the

thumbs. At its heart is a 1-gigahertz Crusoe

microprocessor by Transmeta, a 10-gigabyte hard drive

and 256 megabytes of memory. It runs the Windows XP

operating system, has ports for FireWire and U.S.B.

connections, and connects to wireless networks through

Bluetooth and 802.11b, also known as Wi-Fi.

"It's meant to be your computer," said Colin Hunter, an

executive vice president at OQO (pronounced letter for

letter), founded by former engineers from Apple

Computer's PowerBook group and I.B.M.'s research

laboratories.

The computer is expected to go on sale in time for the

holidays for $1,000 to $1,400. The price includes a

cradle, with two more FireWire and U.S.B. ports, for

docking with a desktop monitor, keyboard and mouse. For

those who miss the feel of a notebook computer, the

device snaps into a case (sold separately) with a

built-in keyboard and notebook-size monitor.

Right! Tiny kbds can be acquired. I assume, but it is speculation only,
that they have, or could have, a software keyboard which you could tap and
use to input that way.

>And, frankly, if its fonts are not much larger than those on the IBM
>PC110, it will be hard on OLDER eyes (G) Also, that screen seems very
>unprotected from inadvertant damage.

Good point: The IBM PC110 screen diagonal dimension is about 4.75". As fpr
protection, nah! This is probably a prototype, and they may have a cover
for it.

>What will the docking devices cost?

You don't need a docking station! The doc is probably something that has in
it cables for a monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc. They intend that you use
this as a PDA, and when in your office, for example, just connect to
full-size kbd, monitor and away you go.

Oh, that must be the origin of it's use for cellular - I now see in the 2110 Datacard manual that it is indeed required for all voice calls. But for a regular modem I do't think it's required for "voice" calls - there it is a means of sending really long numbers, broken into sections. > BTW: My 700 has all that in ROM and I need not even bother > with IR precision pointing exercises. Yup the 700 is a great machine. I added a "PEDIAL" to my web page too - an addon for PE which will dial out through the port that setcom.bat finds first.

But everything else works fine. I have the same problem on WinXP Home, I just discovered. I just discovered it because I never use Filer. What do you use it for? If you just want to transfer files, the program W32FILER (available from SUPER) works really well. It runs on the desktop in console (DOS) mode, and emulates a palmtop waiting in Filer for a connection. So you start your 200LX in Filer, hit "Connect", and transfer files to/from your PC while working at the LX. -- Curtis Cameron ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 27 Apr 2002 00:43:04 -0400 Reply-To: WEB Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: WEB Subject: Re: Anyone ever synch their LX with GroupWise?

The interface I was able to get working on the palmtop was WEB based. I used HV to negotiate my way past the login screen and frames. The frames were a bit of a nuisance but I was able to tab through to the messages I needed to read. As far as I know there is no way to export the messages to the palmtop.

Will "MODE bw80" do it? I would use MODE co80. That puts it in CGA mode which is compatible with most things and gives you graphics. MODE bw80 puts you in MDA mode and that has no graphics. Also a lot of programs won't support it.

Axel, thanks for that tip! I never used a computer voice dialer before and was wondering how to transfer the call to the local handset, on the same landline. I tried it once, calling myself on another line, but found myself talking to the modem. Yup I understand now - that ";" keeps the modem in "command" mode, listening. - Tony ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 28 Apr 2002 00:58:33 +0100 Reply-To: hpstaber@COMPUSERVE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: HP Staber Subject: Re: Note for the French (Parisians) friends...

Ousting Austria in the European community soon after the present gov coalition was built together with the "right" wing party of Mr Haider.

The problem I have is not so much time, but that at 100 mA my NiMH stay at less then maximum voltage for a long time and don't give a good full indication, and the three hours I use now do, I fear, tend to overcharge them. Am I correct in assuming that after such a modification I had better make sure, that charging and a modem are not on at the same time?

I need another database to fill and keep current like a hole in the head. All single purpose programs come with databases - fax, banking, phone-switchboard, mobile phone card maintainer etc. etc. The thing is, this one Atari database is so versatile, I can keep all data about people in one place and do anything from there, or rather could while using a real Atari as the main machine. One of its beauties is its ability to use the keyboard buffer as an output medium, thus for working together with it, all another program (Atari one that is - the feature does not of course work out of the emulator into windows programs) needs to be able to do is accept keyboard input - and which conceivable one isn't? From this one central program I can write envelopes, print postal forms, dial phone numbers and send identification, write data files in every conceivable format as long as I find documentation (HP LX phone.cdf, birthday.cds), type the border parts of a letter (address, date, customer no., Dear Mr. ...), fill in bank giro transfer forms (while BTX still worked) plus anything else anyone can think of doing with data. The 700 LX is a bit like that - neither the SMS nor the fax programs hold number data - they look at the phone.pdb where the numbers belong.

I have just received one and it looks just right. (I have not tried it out yet, though I did take it apart. (I have done things in that order since a little boy, don't try to change me now.)). The thing is: It was really cheap at 9 US dollars, but shipping added another six. On top of that many here will find it as difficult to send funds to America as I did until recently. Now I am a member of paypal and have a NewYork Bank account and chequebook. So any Germans or Europeans wanting one too but not liking the hassle might email me with a firm order, and should the number make it look sensible I'll try to send a bulk order and distribute them at cost. Sound reasonable? I'll let you know whether I could get it to work once I have tried. I'm going to cut it rather short from the centronics end and fit a male p-pin with crossed wires to go with the connectivity kit cable. Does anyone have a use for the tiny (half scale) centronics type 10 pin connector and cable or a good suggestion for one?

Well, waiting for a backlight, I have used on more than one occasion the light shown in : http://www.rei.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prmenbr=800 0&prrfnbr=7756984&addon=675909-668271 in public places, without adverse effects. I have also used Daniel's Hertrich LEDlight, a marvel of simplicity and function, to great satisfaction. But I was still looking for something where I could just take the palmtop out of my pocket, and have light. So I built something myself see: http://www.mydocsonline.com/pub/trial1/frontlit.jpg http://www.mydocsonline.com/pub/trial1/closed.jpg http://www.mydocsonline.com/pub/trial1/openbare2.jpg http://www.mydocsonline.com/pub/trial1/opencomplete.jpg (yes, I know. One of these days, on a website.) It fits nicely in my jacket's pocket. Bill of materials: 2 paper clamps 1 brass tube, or rod (3mm dia) 4 leds 4 CR 2032's a strip of metal (copper, brass, aluminium...) adhesive tape a piece of plastic U profile-this is optional for the good(?) looks Tooling: scissors a soldering iron( you can probably use ahesive tape, but then, just a little bit of sophistication... :-) Modification or opening the palmtop: no. dimension increase: +5, +14, +10 mm (wxdxh) You may notice there is no switch in the bill of materals: when you open the palmtop and rotate the frame, it makes contact on the strip. I only hope this helps to stir more backlight development! If there is interest, I may put together a more elaborate explanation - and if someone has more ideas, e.g. for the battery pack, or replacing the paper clamps, please let me know. Etienne Oh, I also know there should be a resistor somewhere in the circuit, but everything seems to work fine: the CR2032 's are paired in parallel and then in series, giving me a nominal 6.4v.

Probably some weks or months it will remain lamed (well, only the right half, fortunately). But fortunately these incredible headaches are gone! Medical English is not my specialization, but I'll try to explain it a bit: The "nerve water" (liquor) has been punctured, and now a bit of that water is missing around my brain, and that causes headaches. I'm sure an MD can explain that better. But now (since I'm back home again) these incredible headaches are almost gone! I must do face gymnastics now and I get tabletts against viri. And I have to be patient. But emailing should be no problem for me anymore. ;-) Oh, and Stefan: I used the mobile phone to get email in the hospital. ;-) But only for that, when I didn't receive email, the phone was switched off.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, I too bought a s/h MC12 to supplement my aging HP100LX, but I wish I'd done a little more research 1st! :-( Yes it is an OEM HP320LX. and was actually more expensive its day due to its Ericsson Cellphone connectivity etc. There is one major difference, however - it uses CE v1 whereas the 320 shipped with v2. Regrettably Msoft fixed a number of bugs and usability issues with V2+ (don't they always?) and the majority of V2+ SW is incompatible with V1. Unfortunately OS upgrades where by ROM chip and they are unobtainable now. You will find that neither Ericsson, HP or Microsoft support or will even talk to you about the unit (dead tech?). Basically we are left with a machine that will continue to do what it was designed for but is pretty unexpandable Win CE SW-wise, There are some notable exceptions: http://PocketDOS.com does a V1 compatible product - opens you up to a lot of HP200LX programs!

But it was too costly for me then. Recently, while surfing, I came across this site http://www.cadigital.com/poqetpc.htm which sold used Poqet PCs and ordered one at US$168 (Poqet PC plus and a 2MB SRAM card). This is much more affordable than the brand new units before. Here's a good review of it (or search google for more): http://www.olagrande.net/~webguy/service/poqet.html When I received my order yesterday, it works as advertised. It seems to be part of another machinery. Instead of rubber feet, it had some screw ons and there was an adaptor to convert the proprietory interface to a standard DB9 connector (can be unscrewed). It has BACKLIGHTING and can also use Sandisk CF cards with adaptor. I popped the 96MB flash card from my 200LX into the Poqet PC and it was instantly recognised. It could run Turbo C and all my other DOS programs. I also ordered an extra battery and Terry Reiter was kind enough to throw in another in case a battery doesn't work as I'm so far away. It won't replace my 200LX in the day but for those nights in bed, I can still fiddle with my files :) Rgds, weemeng ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 1 May 2002 05:24:57 +0200 Reply-To: Nathalie Bugeaud Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Nathalie Bugeaud Subject: Re: What Governments Do/Don't Do ..etc MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit >pk sharma wrote: "Please don't post any comments to this" so why write anything in the first place? on the subject of Heider/Le Pen 'racism' 'immigration' etc the one i agree with the most is www.fredoneverything.com (see heading "Immigration - Better Than Ebola.

To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all. PROPENSITY TO CHANGE A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does. DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument. __o regards from Nathalie in France with my LX _(\<._ in pocket cycling the beautiful countryside (_)/ (_) ready to put down my thoughts for the Perfect Man's Perfect Palmtop Light ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml
