As an interesting turn of fate, I was given the chance to get a HP Jornada
430se or a Handspring Visor.

I know there is support for Palm OS, but what about CE?

I really haven't messed with a CE device and not sure if I am "allowed" to
get the Spirit.ocx into the PDA.

I must say the 16bit color makes the HP far more of an asset than the Visor,
plus 16 MB of ram and the 133 processor.

Any suggestions?

(...) rajackson@qnx.com once suggested this solution: "Since IRDA can operate as a simple serial device. It would be simple to build a IRDA to RS-232 converter (it will need a IR led and Photo diode and some level shifters). The you could plug the (...) (25 years ago, 19-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)
