palm100

[David J Patrick]

I am collecting and reposting ideas for a marriage of the m10x and the 
(serial) palm pilot.
why ? 'cause it's brilliant and you might have missed the first time, 
that's why !

HARDWARE (a single passive device)
The concept starts with a serial connector/ palm mounting bracket that 
has the palm perched securely above the m10x LCD.

SOFTWARE (one .prc and a few alt-lcd machine language programs)
-loader to send teeny to the palm
-LapDos-like file transefer utility
-ram"bank" image saving/ switching utility
-palm keyboard mode, with f-key mappings for palm functions
-peripheral hooks, allowing palm to monitor and use m10x ports
-adrs.do and sched.do sync utility (to/from palm address/ todo)

This combination would (IMHO) enhance both the palm and the trs-80 greatly.
There are no giant technical hurdles, it should be a piece of cake !

what do you think ?
