Description

Vintage, collectible Hewlett Packard HP 200LX 2MB Palmtop PDA PC

Great overall condition. No broken parts. No corrosion on the battery terminals. Clear and sharp screen with no stuck or burnt pixels. The hinges hold the screen properly up to about an angle of 110-120 degrees - more than that, the screen starts very slowly falling back.

BASED ON THE TESTING PERFORMED, THE UNIT APPEARS TO BE WORKING FINE.

The item was tested via a power adapter (not included) & 2 AA Batteries and operation was verified with both. It requires three batteries (2x AA and 1x CR2032 - not included) for operation.  

You can use a 12v Center NEGATIVE DC Power Adapter or 2x AA Batteries to operate this unit.

NO POWER ADAPTER OR CABLES ARE INCLUDED.

This could be considered as either a PC-XT you can fit in the palm of your hand, or a "PDA" that also happens  to run countless DOS programs.

The built-in Personal Information Manager (PIM) software was very powerful and comprehensive for its time; it included the usual address book, appointments calendar, notepad / memopad, Pocket Quicken, Lotus 123, and cc:Mail. Also built-in is a "Filer" program for file management, LapLink to connect with a desktop system for file transfer, a Data Communication program for connecting to online services, and more!

Because it runs MS DOS 5.0 and has the architecture of a PC-XT with a CGA graphics adapter, it's able to run almost any DOS software which could run on a similar desktop system.

Using a PCMCIA flash-memory card in lieu of a hard-drive allowed for limitless storage space. The built-in 2MB system Memory was divided between normal RAM and a RAM-disk which became the C:\ drive. This 2MB model provides 640 KB of system RAM and about 1400 KB of C: drive. Additionally, the unit comes with an 32MB PCMCIA memory card which adds another 32MB of hard disk space.

This item is used and may have some general wear and tear and scuffs / scratches. 

Please examine the photos as they are of precisely the item that you will receive.

Despite this PDA having been tested and found to be fully functional, it IS almost 30 years old technology and as such, there is no guarantee offered, or implied, for continued functioning. This lot is being sold as-is.
