I bought the version of Stacker for it to squeeze out a few more bytes of storage out of the PCMCIA flash card. I'd use it as an organizer too, but I almost always have my MacBook with me... I suppose I should go get a USB serial cable for it, but meh, I enjoy the little HP200LX. I bought that little guy back in my college days and it was very useful, because I could take notes with it, and keep track of test/class schedules, but also because it had Lotus 123 built in and that was useful in the various science classes. Was far easier to setup a spreadsheet with all the various problem types than sit there and do the math individually. :-) The only shrink wrapped software I still have is a copy of SunOS 4.1.x - not gonna open it since I have the CD's from another copy elsewhere. I don't think it's worth much, but who knows. Someone somewhere might be willing to pay a lot for it someday, and if not, well it doesn't eat up that much shelf space.

True, if I were to use it again as a PDA, I'd go that route. Sorry to hear. Maybe you can find an 100LX or another dead 200LX and swap parts until you have a working machine. I stopped using mine as a PDA after I got a Newton 2100. I got a 2nd one for the wife, but she dropped hers and the touch pad no longer works on that one. But eventually stopped using the Newt as well once I started carrying a notebook machine with me to work. Nice. I vaguely remember there was some shareware that let you read text vertically, and some nice sets of fonts for it too. I've got bunches of Solaris 7, 8, 9 and 2.6 somewhere... but I don't think any of them are sealed. :-) I installed'em all at various times.

I didn't have any success booting it on a PowerStack Series E with a PPC 604e processor, either. It did work on an IBM PowerPersonal 7248 ("Carolina"), even though it doesn't appear on the HCL. ok bear
