There were a handful of fax/modem cards sold for the palmtops that also had flash memory on them, to avoid that chicken and egg problem of connectivity through pcmcia but low storage... Or the serial port floppy drive, which was a computer in disguise if I remember correctly, one such model was also …

When you open the page of an auction on Yahoo, there is a banner for "overseas customers" leading to a 3rd party company called Buyee, you can register there and bid using that service, they'll reship stuff to you. It should display the version number during boot, or you can run debug and type d …

I posted on vogons using my 200lx some time ago: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=787032#p787032 Several books about the 100/200lx were published in Japan, like the hardware/software/internet bible series. The hardware bible has chapters about serial, parallel and pcmcia devices, did you know …

What is the motherboard you're using? And could you try running BeOS with less than 512M of RAM?

Hello again, I wasn't aware the SCP-55 has a digital audio output ??? I thought it was just a pure MPU-401 MIDI interface and SC-55 for PCMCIA slot based computers... I think I'm going to buy an SCP-55, but the question is where and for how much... :( I've been looking on eBay for a while and I've …

I figured that was really your question, the only answer is if someone writes an enabler for one of the FM synth cards to work on the 200lx, then that will be the case...unless the enablers provided with the various cards as part of the drivers work on the 200lx already, but that's really really …

It eventually worked without the CD unit with the original driver. I just should not have removed the switches of the driver related to cd-rom in config.sys. As for the S16 drivers, I did some hex editing and changed the name of the card, just out of curiosuty. And it started to load normally and …

The 32bit version is still available on the download page. As for running it on a 586, BeOS will happily run on a 1st gen pentium (and multiprocessor machines of course) but it may work with the cyrix 5x86 cpu, depending on other factors.

From what I remember without looking for the hardware bible, your card is one of only two parallel cards it supports I think. The low max current draw is annoying, there were 1/2 slots pcmcia extender adapters with an extra power adapter, to go around that problem. Do you have a parallel storage …

That's very cool. Which parallel port pcmcia card do you use? General Midi is an option too using the Roland SCP-55 but it draws more current than what the power supply can give...
