HP 95LX tips and vids
Posted: Tue Jan 07, 2020 9:12 pm
Hi all! I just wanted to share my recent findings about the HP 95LX as I thought you all would appreciate them. I have been able to get CF cards to work in the 95LX, following directions here: https://hermocom.com/hplx/view-all-hp-p ... lx#storage. You can use up to 32 Mb cards given MS-DOS 3.22. I use a SDCFB-32 SanDisk 32MB CF card regularly with no troubles at all. I formatted it with the SanDisk utility sformat.
I also patched Christian Felique's non-SanDisk-compatible flash driver to remove the low main battery write-protect (false low battery alerts due to a faulty motherboard cap are a common 95LX problem) and posted it on my website: http://guofu.sdf.org/dosportables.html. There's also pictures and general information about the 95LX on that page.
You can find the original 95LX flash card drivers here: http://www.retroisle.com/others/hp95lx/software.php
Finally, I recorded review and tutorial videos about the palmtop in this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... yIQ10mxhzc
Enjoy everyone! Kyodai - you should note the possibility of using CF cards on your 95LX page
