- Is anyone familiar with the HP 95LX, a DOS palmtop?
-
- My wife won one in a drawing, and we're figuring out what to do with it. HP
- sells a "Connectivity Pack" that allows communication (i.e., file
- transfers) with a desktop PCs. The best price we found was $90. It looks to
- me like it might only be a 9-to-25 pin null modem cable and software to do
- the transfer. If that's true, we can buy the cable alone for $6, and I
- wonder if there is some way to use an existing program on my PC. I think
- some shareware comm programs support null modem connections, but only if
- both computers run the software. Is there a way to do it just from the PC
- side?
-
- The palmtop also has a PCMIA (I forgot a letter somewhere) port, which we
- are thinking of using for an additional memory card. Are these ports
- standard? That is, would we be able to buy any PCMIA memory card, or would
- it have to be the one sold by HP?
-
- Thanks!
-
- P.S. Is there a FAQ list for this sort of thing?
