Hi, I'm working on a (non-vibecoded) modern Linux distro for Zaurus clamshells (and possibly other models eventually).
I'm planning to make a new window manager for PDA usage, but it will also support "normal" WMs/DEs (mileage may vary with the old hardware).
What features would you want? What kind of UI?
Just got a little Psion Siena (1996) from a family member, it has a few cracks on the shell and most notably, the broken hinge:
I don't really know how to go about fixing it since I think just gluing it won't be enough to support opening the screen or the little spring in the hinge might just twist it off again.
Any Ideas?
When I'm feeling masochistic..browsing Gopher with Putty - a ssh connection to my VPS and running Lynx from there.
I bought a few of these in pristine condition a few years back. I am willing to part with two packaged original units.
I am wondering on the best way to sell and estimated price. The units are brand new, never used, with all documentation in original packaging. I removed all backup batteries to prevent leakage.
Validity checks can be done over Video Call or photographs, videos, whichever way the buyer prefers.
In a recent care package I expected to only contain the MP2000 (to keep mine alive as spare parts) and a MP120 he asked if I was interested in.
Last pic is the collection of Newtons I have almost entirely "stumbled upon" unintentionally.
My Psion 5 mx case is broken but everything still work: electronic board, scree... can be salvaged for parts if needed. I'm selling it on ebay: https://www.befr.ebay.be/itm/188775163860
Does anyone know where I can find info on making it work again? I charged it overnight and it starts up but the screen doesn't really get bright enough to see, and then it shuts down.
Any insight or suggestions on where I could find info?
Connected to my local wifi and using Nina.Chat I was able to get my Palm T|X to log into AIM using the version 1.1 client from PalmDB.net.
Ok, so I did have to patch the prc file to change the port 9993 (27 09) to 5190 (14 46) and then I created a cname record in my public DNS so I could patch that in place of login.oscar.aol.com to connect to login.oscar.nina.chat via the cname redirect, BUT it works anywhere the T|X can connect to WiFi, which admittedly are fewer and further in between than there used to be, but my Phone hotspot works, and my home WiFi works so...
How do you clean yellowing keys?
...If it's even possible.
I thought I'd put my Psion Organiser from 1999 to good use for the benefit of cinemaphiles.
I like the way you could extend the capabilities of certain models of Casio and Sharp organisers via IC cards containing additional applications. Casio didn't seem to offer as many models with this feature, and it's been quite tricky to find any compatible cards, but I do now have Casio Power Spreadsheet which is based on the same Lucid 3-D that's on Sharp's 3 Dimensional Spreadsheet card. It turns the organiser into quite a competent little number-cruncher!
may not keep it online, making it was okay but publishing it sucks, still, if people are interested to give it a shot (or to host a SMF forum which is fine too) hit me up
I tried running a local model on the PPC2003 emulator; apparently, it is possible.
Hi everyone.
I have a bunch of old PDAs that I’ve picked up to try to run the very niche world of music tech software on these devices, of which there are a very small handful of demos; pocketsynth, pocketdrums, drummerboy and a few others.
I have a handful of jornadas and ipaqs of varying age that are all in full working condition. I’ve tried installing these apps, using activesync or windows mobile device center, or installing on the device itself, and I can’t get any of them to work. They become a default application icon that won’t load anything.
Can anyone help?
