I too have one lying around with no use, I think win ce devices only
became useful if there was a killer app and hardware added, for me I
have a Wasp WPA206 that has wince as the OS but it has a barcode
scanner and a slot for pcmcia wifi card and then it becomes usable as
a portable stock checking device for the books and manuals I have.

There used to be some Pocket PC software for signal generator, etc but it
was all very expensive.

Subject: Re: windows ce/compaq c120
Good luck with that :) I have an old Philips Velo 1 running Windows CE,
similar vintage device, the main differential that mine is MIPS and yours is
SH-3... I have never found anything to do with it, other than run the
existing built-in applications (which basically consist of Pocket IE, Pocket
Office and a terminal emulator). The primary redeeming quality of the Velo
is the modem built in, otherwise I would say these first generation CE
devices are pretty unremarkable. If you can get a modem or serial port on
it, best use is probably as a mini-terminal.
Best,
Sean

i happen to have acquired a compaq c120 running
windows ce 2.0. i got
it with no accessories other then a few extra stylus and a 16mb pcmcia
memory storage card. i am on a hunt to find programs for it and even
any other accessories. i did find a site that had updates for it but
when i tried to run them in windows ce it said they weren't windows ce
compatible programs.
maybe someone out there knows what i can do. maybe someone has
accessories for this thing
