r/OldHandhelds

Rummaged through dad's old stuff. He decided to throw a box of these away but I salvaged one. Unfortunately, batteries have already expanded and currently using the charging port.

Any idea what else I can do with it? Transferred some music, but can't bring it on the go.

I love the clamshell form factor. Here is a selection of the smallest ones, from palmtops to subnotebooks.

Can you spot and identify the intruder? One of them is not a general purpose computer.

Edit: build guide, original keybeep function service, and full wiring schematics some time another. It'll be the last post. Until then, here is an update. Edit: For those starting to hunt this model, any casio sf5 will do excluding sy models (only because they have a different port, which could mean different keyboard schematics, and i havent reviewed my own sy models). Sf5500 sf5700 5900 will do.

1995 casio organizer upgraded with pizero2w. All 82 original buttons work, including power/illumination, original rtc slot works, and original piezo buzzer sings like never before. Absolutely gorgeous. It's the first publicly documented pda that looks original and functions like the original (on steroids) whilst running piOS. I reverse engineered the device myself. Oh, and believe it or not, the cord on the right is not powering it, it's charging the 6000mah battery that is.

Any ideas what fun things I can do with it?

I've got a Symbol MC3200 and I'm trying to find the clean boot and blank file, I've found it on the zebra website but my warranty is over and I can't download/format it anymore. I don't know if someone on here have the file somewhere to help me out? Here a picture of the device. Thanks in advance! 😁
