Preface: I'm still in the process of getting Informations about
it form some former Nixdorf development guys.
>Many modules were made for it. There are the
general purpose modules,

Arabic Keyboard ? WAY cool - I have to see it before I can belive.
Do you have any spare module?
Especialy Erabic ones ?
>I have one carthridge that was already popped
open, so I looked inside and
>found nothing extraordinary. Looks like a TI microcontroller of some sort
>and a ROM or two. But yes, the smarts are definitely in the modules. The
>actual handheld unit is really just a dumb terminal.
Any actual info on the pinout of the cartridges? It
seems like this unit has
hacking potential...
Maybe now, back then it was _quite_ expensive.
>I believe the Nixdorf LK-3000 is the first (uh-oh,
there's that
>word again) handheld computer device, first introduced in 1978 or 1979.
The dates I found indicated 1975.
Nop, Salam is more correct.
Gruss
