The Lion Message #2 Posted by Andrés C. Rodríguez (Argentina) on 29 May 2003, 1:23 p.m., in response to message #1 by Mike I think (not 100% sure) that "Lion" was a sub-notebook PC, with a 386 sx processor and running Windows 3.1 in standard mode (not multitasking). It has all the software in ROM (Windows, Word and Excel) and a very curious "mouse" attached with a plastic arm to the side of the machine. I don't remember the commercial name, but it was one of the first to use the OmniBook label. These are just imperfect memories from 10 years ago, I apologize for possible errors.

Re: The Lion Message #5 Posted by Raymond Del Tondo on 30 May 2003, 1:59 p.m., in response to message #2 by Andrés C. Rodríguez (Argentina) You mean the first OmniBooks (the REAL OmniBooks!). However, there was another variant of the 200LX, the OmniGo 700LX. Maybe this is the Lion? I mean the other Lion, other than Raul;-) Raymond

Re: The Lion Message #6 Posted by Frank Wales on 30 May 2003, 2:15 p.m., in response to message #2 by Andrés C. Rodríguez (Argentina) Unless my memory is broken, I believe that 'lion' was the Omnibook 300, which was the first Omnibook, and indeed as you described it here (mouse on a stick, Windows in ROM, no internal spinning drives, long battery life, etc.).

Re: The Lion Message #7 Posted by Mike (Stgt) on 4 June 2003, 11:14 a.m., in response to message #2 by Andrés C. Rodríguez (Argentina) Thank you for the info. Was there some special data exchange between "Lion" and the HP200LX? Or some special SW charing databases between this systems? TIA.....Mike
