Put your HP200LX on the map

Do you own an HP200LX, where is it now? Why not dig it out, dust it off, and put in on the HP200LX Frappr map

Transfile Win 200

Transfile Win 200 is the way to tranfer files from you PC to the 200LX. I found my old 200LX serial cable and installed Transfile on my laptop and the file transfer works great. Transfile Win 200 works with the 200LX's built in file manager application and works nicely to move files from one machine to the other.

Now I can start trying out some of those 3rd party applications.

HP200LX - a PDA from the past

Digging around in the basement the other day I came across a long forgotten piece of my PDA past. I must have purchased my HP200LX PDA some time around the end of 1994 or early 1995 and I used it diligently for a number of years before switching to a Palm Vx.

Back then the PDA of choice, at least in the office where I worked, was the Psion organizer (what ever happened to Psion anyway?). I was personally taken by the HP200LX as a PDA device because it was a fully functional PC running MS-DOS 5.0, with a comprehensive suite of standard applications including Lotus 123 and Pocket Quicken in additional to the regular contact management, calendar, and notes apps.

I recall spending many hours hunting down other neat little applications and games for HP200LX. Back then the web was still in it's infancy and searching the internet involved browsing through Usenet news group, downloading lists of applications from ftp sites and using Gopher. Eventually the S.U.P.E.R database became the one stop location for all the best apps for the HP200LX and I was really surprised to find it still running today.

Unfortunately I've lost all the extra apps from back then, maybe I go hunting for then once again...
