HP-95LX question Message #1 Posted by Nelson M. Sicuro (Brazil) on 23 Oct 2003, 8:45 a.m. Hi all, Is those PCMCIA SD/MMC adapters compatible with the HP-95LX? I have MMC cards and I wish to use them on my 95LX (just acquired!) I have a SD/MMC card reader on my PC, I think that this can be a great (and easy!) way of transfer fiels between them. If not compatible, I can do this by serial, but I don't have the discs/manual of the HP-95LX (bought used). I am searching also documentation about its hardware, to program in assembler or TurboPascal. I know the PC (XT) hardware pretty well (I used to program them in asm/TurboPascal 'eons' ago...), but I need to know the differences/particularities of the 95LX hardware (screen, keyboard, serial/IR, etc). Thanks in advance! Nelson

Sicuro (Brazil) Hello Nelson, I use a PCMCIA adapter with a Compact Flash card with a hp200lx, but not sure about the SD/MMC adapters. The 95lx supports the PCMCIA 1.0 & JEDI 4.0 standards with ram cards up to 2 megabytes. I use a 512k ram card (HP F1003A) with the 95lx. These are available from Thaddeus Computing. I think I paid around $15.00 used. Larger sizes are also available. For information regarding programming, try http://www.palmtoppaper.com. They have a 100/200 developer's guide that may also provide information for the hp95lx. They also have a CD Infobase with early issues of a magazine supporting the hp95lx. Some of the information on their CD Infobase is also online at http://www.palmtoppaper.com/PTPHTML/index.htm Another website for the palmtops is http://www.palmtop.net. There is a file available that discusses assembly language with the hp95lx. I don't remember the name of the file right now, but a search on the site could find it. Good luck, Terry

I already know that the PCMCIA that the 95LX uses is 1.0, but I can't find what stantard this cards support: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=18872&item=2959311471 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=43450&item=2959502172 Best regards, Nelson

Re: HP-95LX question Message #6 Posted by Bill Smith on 23 Oct 2003, 12:18 p.m., in response to message #1 by Nelson M. Sicuro (Brazil) i have successfully used a PCMCIA-CF adaptor on my 200lx, but it doesn't work on my 100lx or 95lx. additionally, most of the 5 or 6 PCMCIA memory cards that also work on the 200lx don't work either. The exceptions being SRAM cards. i haven't tried using the available drivers, though. all the cards work well in my desktop with the SCM adaptor.
