I thought this product might be of
general interest to the Palmtop
"community". Special versions of this
product are available for Sharp Wizard
and HP95LX. Several other sizes are
available to fit various equipment
(Handheld Trancievers, cellular Phones,
etc.) Give Phil a call and ask!

 Sb: The Pouch[tm] for 95LX
 Fm: robert williams 76167,2773
 To: All

Well Folks,

Phil Richardson just sent me his
special 95LX version of The Pouch [tm].
I have tried it out and find it perfect
for unobtrusive carrying of the 95LX on
the belt. This case really fits the
95LX like a glove..... I'm happy.

In case you just tuned-in and are not
aware of The Pouch [tm], it is a small
belt pouch made of nylon-faced Neoprene
material similar to the material SCUBA
wet-suits are made from. The material
is a very durable closed cell foam
rubber bonded to a thin black spandex
material facing both sides. The
material is about 3 mm thick overall

and provides a bouncy protective
enclosure for the 95LX. The
construction is very well done and high
quality.

A 1 1/2 inch wide nylon strap runs over
the top of the pouch and secures with a
velcro closure. It is so lightweight
that I forgot I was wearing the 95LX on
my belt. I had to repeatedly reach back
and touch it to confirm it was still
there.

Also, it is possible to drop a pair if
spare batteries down in the bottom of
the pouch and still fit the 95LX with
full coverage. The material is stretchy
enough to "forgive" a couple of AA
batteries and the bottom just shows a
slight outpouching when the spare AAs
are down there.


I will have to give this product a "10"
for ingenious design and execution in a
simple belt pouch for the 95LX. I can
seriously recommend it without
reservation.

Just received the following note from my boss:

"Also, (her boss) talked with me about his desire to have a 
better way to update his schedule using
technology.  His goal would be to have a pocket size electronic
calendar."

I know _NOTHING_ about pocket devices and what is possible.  We are a Mac
shop, using Now-Up-To-Date calendar software.  This guy has a person who
does nothing but handle his calendar, so we need some sort of interface. 
I would really appreciate any ideas/thoughts/suggestions this group might

Peter asks about the TI-88 and if anyone ever saw one.
Well, I saw one - Richard Nelson, who set up and ran PPC (THE original
PPC in the USA) - had one of the very few that TI made. They were never
put on open sale - apparently they could not do as much as the HP-41 
which they were supposed to compete with, but the fear at TI was said
to be that they were too strong a competition for the handheld BASIC
computers TI were planning to release at the same time. So, the TI-88
never went on sale.
Why not come to the conference in London (September 19/20) and ask 
Richard Nelson for more details?  ;-)

Hi...

	On the HC, you can have up to 3 serial ports, tty's a, b and c.
The c is the 'fast serial' on the side.  What we would like to do is
to access all three, having both b and c open simultaneously, while
a is only used to transfer data from one hc to another (used once a
day, that's it)

	Is it possible to just open b and c and manipulate them?  My
understanding is that they just act as files, which you can open and
read/write from at the same time...well...open at the same time :)

	Any info concerning this would be appreciated...

Thanks...

Marc

It supports panning across a virtual 80x24 (or is it 25?) screen.  For
those applications which require 80 columns, it allows the display to function
as an 80 column display and lets you move around the virtual screen using
Alt arrow keys.  By the way, in Unix(tm), you can specify a vt100 terminal
and then set LINES and COLUMNS accordingly.  It won't help applications that
don't pay attention to it, but most editors will honor the setting, so you
can do editing easily in Unix that way.

I looked for a FAQ posting but haven't seen one for about 10 days, so I'll be
bold and post a couple of NEW USER questions....

Actually, I'm not yet even a user, but here goes ;-)

I would _LOVE_ to have a little computer to carry around with me wherever I go!  
From the sound of previous posts, it looks like HP offers a few models to choose
from.  I am a UNIX tech support guy at work, and at times I have the need to dial
in to the systems at work.  I also run a PC BBS at home, and would like to be able
to dial-in to "check things out" now and then.

My question is:  Is it worth my while to consider a palmtop/handlheld computer, or
		 do I want to look for a laptop class machine?  I am not too 
		 concerned with disk storage or blazing fast performance -- just
		 the ability to dial in from wherever I may be!  !!PORTABILITY!!

Just what can these little computers handle?  Will I be super-annoyed at their slow-
ness, or limited functionality?  Again, I like the idea of super-compactness, and
the ability to use a modem to connect to a remote host!  What kind of price
should I look at for a setup that will be good for dial-in operations (2400bps data,
no FAX)?

Your replies will be greatly appreciated, again I apologize for the basic nature
of the post -- I hate those same-ol' questions myself --  Anyway, thanks for your
help!

Cheers,
Howie

BTW -> If you have a setup that is appropriate for my needs, I would consider
       purchasing it!

Why not just replace the nicads in the one you have, you can melt

Is it possible to use to onboard io port of the Casio SF-9700
to communicate with a PC (RS 232) without buying the seperate

do look like RS 232 (perhaps only 5V and not +/- 12V).

Does anyone have more information on the build-in port?

Keywords: Electronic Organizer

Hi there!

After looking around for an appropriate newsgroup, this seems to be the
one that comes closest...

I am currently using a Sharp ZQ-5300M (64Kb) electronic organizer and
am thinking of updating it to a Sharp IQ (-8400?), which is supposed
to be better, bigger (mem, not size) and faster. However, I have the
feeling that it will also be more expensive.

Is there anyone who can tell me if s/he uses a Sharp IQ and what
his/her experiences are? Is it worth the money? Do you really use a
lot of the ROM cards? Is the keyboard the same size as the ZQ-5300?
Does it still lack some to-be-expected-features like readability of
appointments on week and day calendar functions?

Obviously, I am also looking into some other brands, and can get
plenty of information about those (see footer *grin*), but I can't
seem to find any people using the new Sharp...


Thanks,

Arthur

This seemed like the best place to post this article.

I am considering buying the calculator HP48S, for You who didn't know,
the HP48S is a version of the HP48SX without the card slot.

How often do one usually need more memory from the RAM cards? Can I
still use the programs found in comp.sources.hp48? How much of the
HP48's memory does these programs usually take?

If it's possible to manage without the card slot I will buy the HP48S,
since it costs about 66% of the HP48SX's price.

Does the 95LX do 80 columns at all? If it does vt100 emulation, I think
it probably would help to have 80 columns, because I don't see to many

Does anybody out there have any experience with these configuring these

The solution is: You have to buy the Ethernet-II package

In 3L-C, can the to86/from86 routines be used without having afserver running?

Thanx!
