HP200LX

 This is the HP 200LX Palmtop. It’s a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) – and so much more! Yes, it has a suite of PIM (Personal Information Manager) applications, but it’s also a full-fledged PC-XT running MS-DOS 5.0. It was introduced by HP in 1994, and discontinued some time in the late 1990’s.

Its PIM applications made it a powerful and capable solution for many busy businesspeople, and it’s MS-DOS operating system and XT architecture enabled it to run most of the thousands upon thousands of programs available for DOS.

My 200LX is my current favorite PDA / backup brain, and has been for two years now and counting.
