They produced thousands of them. They were pulled from the distributors the day before they were to be sold.

They ran a DOS variant, a CF slot, sync'ing to your PC, Pocket Quicken, full PIM apps (including Lotus 123). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_200Lx __________________ Dennis -==- Philly Last edited by DennisOS2 : 04-12-2009 at 03:35 PM.

I was just going to post about the HP 95LX. I used to have one, pretty cool but useless without any way to add or remove files.

It had a serial cable to transfer files. You could use a mouse and even load Win3.0.

The article in Wiki says there is a RS-232 cable.

Yes, the reference to Win3 was for the ability to load on the 200.

Standard Mode required Extended Memory, which wasn't available with the 8088 or 8086 CPU. Windows 3.1 removed Real Mode but still had Standard Mode and could run on an 80286 CPU. Windows 3.11 also had Standard Mode but Windows for Workgroups 3.11 only had 386 Enhanced Mode- dropping compatability for all x86 CPUs older than the 80386. (I dunno about the very short lived WFWG 3.1 or if the Workgroups for Windows add-on would install on Win 3.11 on a 286.) __________________ Tungsten E2 user, now owned by a LifeDrive.
