I'm trying to find some info about the LK-3000, an
early hand-held
"computer". I think it was made by Nixdorf around 1979, but it was also
sold under other labels (I think I've got a "Lexicon" labeled instance
someplace).
The earliest copyright date I've found on the literature accompanying the
plug-in carthridges is 1976 (or 1975...can't remember for sure).
Can anybody tell me what modules were available? Was
there a module that
made the thing user programmable, for example?
I have the following language modules:
English-Spanish
English-French
English-German
English-Arabic
English-Italian
And the Calculator module. I've heard before that there was also a
Computer module but this is entirely uncomfirmed.
Assuming the LK-3000 isn't user programmable,
would anybody take offense
at somebody calling it the first PDA?
I've always considered it such.
I'll expect a full report at VCF 4.0 :)
