Can I install any Windows in my 200LX?
vIRCiated(tm)
what are the sizes of the memory cards? And can I connect a mouse to my
200LX? I have many Windows 3.1 programs that I use on work.

reported success, although most Windows programs

Nice novelty to try but now worth much.
Memory cards? PCMCIA type 2 in various sizes.

Mouse? Some have reported success although the
use is very limited.

Get lost?
And is there any "hardware hackers" that know how to conect an monitor(P/B,
9") to my 200LX?
I am trying to use it mainly to run word and excel.
And can I run Linux on it?
I am a user of BOTH Windows and Linux, Windows is better for
desktop/notebook and Linux is better for small computers.

You can run a DOS version of each program
on the 200lx. Windows version will not run.
>And can I run Linux on it?
There is no version of Linux for the 200lx.

using the PCMCIA card drive as your main drive. Just run DOS on that machine.
If you want Windows go buy yourself a Jornada 728, and use MS Terminal server.

Installation is very straightforward and I met no trouble at all. You
will need an expanded 200LX - it would not fit into the normal 2MB
200LX - although I guess it might run from the PCMCIA card. The mouse
works fine too - if you have a serial port adaptor for the 200LX and
the necessary plugs to enable you to connect a standard MS mouse to
it. I also have Word 5.0, which runs fine under Windows 3.0.
I agree with the other respondants - nice novelty and good fun but of
little practical use.

There's no touch screen on the HP200LX.

Why don't you use Word 5.5 in pure DOS?

Windows 3.0 is not the same as WinCE 3.0...
And don't forget that the HP200LX has only 640K memory, a 80186-compatible
CPU, and a slooow CPU clock. So no 32-bit programs, ni virtual memory...
> and how about installing 3.1 or 3.11 windowses ?
They don't work with anything less than a 386. The HP200LX doesn't even
have a 286...

But alot of the applications won't run on the 200lx.
If I remember correctly it has to do with
protected mode, the graphics ability, and sound
capabilities.

I've never heard of anyone successfully doing it.
The only success has been with 3.0

Yes, the HP200LX has only 640k of RAM, just like an oooold PC. It can also
have a RAM based drive, to store your files. On my HP200, the total (main
memory+drive memory) is 2 MB. Some models have only 1 MB, some others 4
MB. This is expandable by 2 means: soldering a RAM chip inside the HP200,
and/or adding a SRAM or Flash PCMCIA card. CompactFlash with a
corresponding adapter runs fine. That's what I currently have, with a 32
MB CF card.
For the HP100LX, the main memory is of the same size, but I don't think
models with 4 MB existed.

hp200lx to double speed and up to 96 MB (64 if the 96 is not
available).

Yes, you're right. But even with these enhancements, the HP200 still uses
640k of main memory, it will run at the tremendous speed of 15.82 MHz,
with the same 16 bits CPU with no memory protection, no 32 bits registers,
no MMU, .... So no way to install anything better than Windows 3.0, and a
lot of programs won't work at all.

But remember the hp200lx is basically the equivalant of an
IBM 80186. It will not meet your needs if you need a faster
processor, graphics higher than CGA, or more than basic
sound.
Speed is relative. I have numerous Windows CE devices, it
is still faster to fire up the 200lx and look for a name
on the phone list than use Windows CE or the desktop.
The software built into the 200lx is that good.
On the 200lx is I want to get a phone number all
I need to do is hit 2 buttons and I'm there. On the
Windows CE devices it takes longer.

Why go through all this trouble, but rather go buy yourself a HP Jornada
728. You get Windows CE, and all the graphics.
I wonder when they will be able to make a real computer the size of a HP
palmtop. I compared my HP Jornada 680 to the smalest laptops in the
market, and still they are A lot bit bulkier than my 680.

Actually there is a company that is about to come out with
a computer the size of a paper back book that will run
full windows......

May I ask who you mean? :-) Well, book sizes differ, but if it
would be about the size of the HP 200LX or HP 48GX, it could
be *really* interesting.
Hopefully, it will not be Windows CE, but a normal compatible
x86 AT class machine with not more than 50 MHz, around 16 - 32 Mb
static RAM, a *good* keyboard and a *monochrom* LC display in a
solid housing, so that the batteries will last for weeks (or
even months in standby) instead of the usual few hours for
devices with color display and higher clock rates. And it must
be "open", so that you can put Linux or DOS on it, when you don't
want Windows, so that you can do real serious work on it.
Otherwise, you are more dependent on recharging the unit in
time, than what you could ever gain as extra freedom, it seems...
Greetings,
Matthias

I believe it is a pentium.....
