HP 95LX/100LX/200LX and alternate I/O Message #1 Posted by Dave Shaffer on 17 Aug 2004, 1:09 p.m. Do any of these units have provision for using an external keyboard or monitor?

Re: HP 95LX/100LX/200LX and alternate I/O Message #2 Posted by Katie on 17 Aug 2004, 7:12 p.m., in response to message #1 by Dave Shaffer There's no provision for a standard external keyboard nor monitor on any of these models. However I believe that someone made an external keyboard that interfaced to the HP100/200LX via the serial port and some driver software. I've never heard of any external monitor device for these machines -- it's hard to imagine how that could be done without a major motherboard modification.

You may want to spend some time at www.palmtoppaper.com which has a wealth of info on the HP-95/100/200. Hope this helps. Bill
