| thought i would share this. been looking for this since i started collecting mobilepro's and now i can say i finally own one CIB.
something cool to mention about the box, it is only half the size of the 400/450 box. it did not come with a cradle or a/c adapter, i believe that these accessories at the time were extra and did not come standard with the unit.

| Not even that gold pen came with it.
That's one of the few devices I don't have. (Maybe I should get one. ) Looks even sturdier than the Casio A-10/Compaq C120 (both of which I do have ). The only look I've had at CE 1 on a MIPS device was the Philips Velo 1, and that device didn't stay together well at all. |

| Yeah, I have the Velo 1; I even have the CE 2 upgrade and the famed 8mb RAM upgrade. But, man, I never used it
That 200 looks wonderful.

| Yea I noticed the gold pen too! Looks like a Cross Classic Century
Interesting how the features list on the box does not mention the keyboard - maybe it's just too obvious? |

| Very nice find! Great handheld those are. CEGeek, tell me about it. The Velo 1 looked great, build quality not so much. |

| Is the battery low, or does the contrast just need to be adjusted? |

| Very cool, I'm jealous! Now wondering if still owning any AA battery powered CE devices. And also if I retained workspace mods to compile code to execute on CE 1.0. For 2.x and up the answer is yes, but the tweaks to build for 1.x may have been lost |

i think it is the contrast. unfortunately now it wont even boot up just frozen on the VELO screen. |
