It occurred to me that for some of these older gadget to properly work with Windows it might be a good idea to get a computer that runs an earlier version of Windows.
For example, I am considering getting a Psion 5MX Organiser, but the Sync software (Psywin, I think it's called) will not run on my Windows 8 PC nor will it run under Win7.
I had always wanted one of the early Librettos. This was in the days before netbooks, and these were touted as small, super portable but powerful little machines.
Well, it is a lovely piece of vintage tech, and I'll be writing more about it here over the coming weeks.
So far I have boosted it's RAM to 96MB which I will detail on these pages. I will also be attempting to make it into a solid state device with a mod I have read about, but before I can proceed with that I need the PCMCIA floppy disk drive, which I don't have yet.
Anyhow, please stay tuned for more soon.
