I have one of these -- the guy I got it from claimed that is was a prototype
Palm Pilot (NO idea where he got that from) but it was a cool looking
machine so I picked it up anyway. Only $8, what the hell...
But I haven't really been able to do anything useful with it -- there's a
little spreadsheet program, text editor, tape recorder, 300 baud modem +
comms software, but my TI-86 graphing calculator can do all of this
(including the modem, up to 9600 bps ;) )

Subject: Convergent Technologies Workslate
I recently acquired a Workslate and matching printer
in excellent
condition - still a pretty cool looking unit. The guy I got them from
thought it ran CP/M, but it uses a 6803 with its own proprietary 'OS.'
The
manuals make no mention of the specs for the (missing)
wall warts. Does
anyone have a Workslate with the power supplies? Since both units use 4
AA,
alkaline or nicads, I guess it's not too critical.
Also, knowing the
polarity would be helpful.
Thanks.
