HP 100LX |
The HP 95LX Palmtop PC (F1000A, F1010A), also known as project Jaguar,HP 110 Plus.
Hardware
HP 95LX has an
Intel system on a chip (SoC) device. It cannot be considered completely PC-compatible because of its quarter-CGA (MDA)-resolution LCD screen.[10]
The device includes a
CR2025 back-up coin cell. An RS-232-compatible serial port is provided, as well as an infrared port for printing on compatible models of Hewlett Packard printers.[3]
Display
In character mode, the display shows 16 lines of 40 characters, and has no backlight. While most IBM-compatible PCs work with a hardware code page 437, HP 95LX's text mode font is hard-wired to code page 850 instead.[3] Lotus 1-2-3 internally used the Lotus International Character Set (LICS), but characters are translated to code page 850 for display and printing purposes.[3]
Software
The palmtop runs
(ROM) includes a calculator, an appointment calendar, a telecommunications program, and a simple text editor.Successors
