So, what is the story behind the new HP handheld ? what are the specs ? I have heard of an HP-48 (it was in one of the programs posted here on how to control the beeper of the hp-28s ) (there was one little note on what to change in the program to make it run on the HP-48, nothing else...) come'on guys !! (specially those who are in the Know ...) I dont know if I should wait for that Dream (???) machine of go out and buy the PC-1600 of sharp . -It has a big LCD screen , -comes with a whooping 16k. -can be programmed in machine language (lh5801 for compatibility with it little brother the pc 1500 or its own z80A) -all the pc-1500 periph. work on it (printer / k7 interf. , ram exp. ) -the price might hurt a bit (about 350 bucks) . -the hackability of the machine is extrememely high. about a message I read earlier, (the guy who has the pc-6). Sharp is the maker of these machine, tandy is repackaging them ,and sell them under the tandy logo and not vice versa .... - anybody knows about any other big screen POCKET computers ? How come I never found anything in the states about the canon X-O7 ? (with infrared transmitter capability ?) Anyway : Ciao !!!! Walter
