www.usedhandhelds.com They sell a few different types. I also sell the older grey scale devices as well. Also check out hpcfactor.com for more information and resources :-)
When i get back home i can do that for ya. Basically its just a 690 rom/ram module put into a 680e. SO if ya can find a 690 rom module, its simple to upgrade. But ill get pics for ya. Check out hpcfactor.com as well for info on these and other upgrades and mods etc. :-)
These can do a LOT more than meets the eye. There is indeed software on hpcfactor.com for download. Im running DOS 6.22 on my 680e and JLime is gonna be installed on my 690. :-)
Thanks :-) Ill have more videos soon. I got DOS 6.22 running on my 680e today. Next up is getting JLime onto my 690. But im waiting on some parts in the mail to come. Hopefully in the next week or so ill have a video to post. :-)
These dont work quite like a laptop or notebook. These utilize ram off a rom/ram module. This particular unit has either 16mb or 32mb when upgraded. You dont need a lot of ram by any means but ya need more than 16mb imho. The most taxing program so far ive tried was Doom and that required 10-12mb of ram set for "program memory". So thats why the 16mb was too limited imho as you also store certain things on the internal memory as well. There is a CF slot and PCMCIA slot but you can use that memory towards the "program memory", just storage. Windows CE doesnt require much to run. Once ya upgrade the units to 32mb theres really nothing ya cant run (Windows CE wise) on these units. ;-)
Thank you for an interesting video! 👍
Ill have some more in the future. The 690 im working on getting JLime linux on ;-)
Are these still functional today?
How much can I get one for; and where can I find one?

Can you tell me what the markings of the memory chips on this module are?

try a 128mb ram module if there is one
