Re: [M100] Hello!

Hey Roland

Welcome to the list.

Yup John Hogerhuis is on this list, the developer of DLPilot for Palms back
in the day.

Assume you had found this page?
http://bitchin100.com/dlpilot/DLPilot.html

Not sure if John is still selling it, but am sure he can update you.

I also was into the m100 <-> palm stuff back in the day. Hence my now very
dated website about it...

Cheers
Daryn

Sorry for replying to an old thread, but was searching for why mComm for
Android doesn't install on my new Motorola G30 running Android 11.

Exact same symptoms you described in your Android 9 Kurt. The designed for
old version of Android dialog pops up then the app crashes. I tried both
the 181 & 192 versions.

Fortunately my old Android 8 device with the cracked screen still works!

Re: [M100] mComm for Android new release

2017-09-27 Thread Daryn Hanright
mComm remains for me (like John's DLPilot for the Palm previously) the best
way of transferring/storing files on a device.

Wow that is super cool!

My Tandy 102 reset last night, so I had to reinstall TEENY. So I used mComm
to do it!

Was awesome! It figured out all the things that you'd have to configure
when installing via Linux with teeny-linux - ie RAMPTOP, HIMEM etc.

Installed a full working TEENY.CO! Only had todo the RUN COM 98n1E stuff at
the start!

Well done Kurt!

Hey

Went to turn on my Tandy 102 yesterday. At first the screen was totally
gabbled in different ways upon switching on. Now I just get nothing.

One way too fix this is too get hold of the DC Adapter huh? Charge it

Agree Josh. Had a Pebble classic for years, so when pebble 2 was announced
I preordered. That never happened (credit card never charged). So even
though they are no more, still got one off Amazon. It's really cool.

Pebble even though they failed "got it". Just like Palm "got it" back in
the day. Reckon Amazon get it is as well with the Kindle. Tandy/Radio Shack
did with the Model T

Battery life is key!!!

What's the point having all these everyday devices that need to be charged!
Smartphone fine. Anything else no thanks. Especially a bloody watch!
