Who would have thought it but I’ve got lucky and found a second unit. This time the PD-1000 plus.
These are sweet little machines and truly of the era.
This time I got amazing value as I picked it up for £20z
Now I need to experiment with both maybe try a Linux build on them.
My first unit the PD-1100 is running Windows 98 initially I used a CF to IDE but I had a spare msata
(using an ide adapter
) so I’ve swapped it out after cloning the disk and re-writing it to the msata. Works great and I’ve partitioned the disk in two possibly to dual boot.
Now to get this second machine running on the CF to rid of the noisy IDE disk that’s sounding a little bit cranky after all these years.
Now if I can find the dual drive dock I’d be very happy indeed.
But for now they work well with the cardbus slot and usb for mouse - the pen input while good doesn’t beat a mouse for speed.
Palmax pd1000 pd1100 together
