Picked up a dirty 200LX that would not start up (due to dead batteries) and had a missing hinge.
Turns out this particular 200LX had been upgraded: speed doubled and 8MB RAM.
I have a couple of other 200LX around, one of them does not start up (it just churns a continuous tone when power/batteries are present) and the other one is a working 1MB model.
So I shuffled parts around and now the speed demon 8MB mobo ended up in a fully hinged case.
During the process I found out that the beeping 200LX also had a bad LCD that has about 1/3 of the screen displaced and ghosted.
Now I regret not taking a few pics of that screen when it was hooked up to a good mobo.
Anyway, the hotrod 200lx is now going to be my main 200lx. I used the other 200lx with a few apps but mostly for a small database which was completely erased during a small power issue (should have backed it up to CF card!).
Now I'll type that database again in the new 200LX.
I'll try out other stuff now that this palmtop is faster than the original ones. GEM and GeoWorks come to mind.
What do you Neko 200LX users do with your palmtop?
