Ok I am new here so not sure if this is right place. I have a lexicomp LC-8600 palmtop that runs MS-DOS 5.00. Most sites I go to for information is in another language but I saw on one page its a 4/8mhz device and another that its 14mhz. Regardless its not that powerful. The Hard Drive is only 40mb in size and already contains MS Works for DOS, PKUnzip, and Nettamer. http://pc110.com.ne.kr/LC8600-gallery.htm this site has pictures of the device. At current time I am trying to find actual specs on the thing even though I been looking. Maybe find some way to replace the HD for a flash drive and maybe the EPROM (I think thats what it is with the UV window) with a compatible flashable chip. Another thing I am wanting to do is make it into a terminal device so I can connect to servers terminal via the serial interface. I am sure there are dos terminal programs and I have found a few though most of what I found are mostly hyperterm kind of stuff and would need to use the modem not the serial interface. I also know that Orinoco has dos drivers and I assume other cards might like spectrum 24 cards. As it is and may be a pathetic attempt but the machine works and I want to keep it working and have some usefulness to it. I don't like to throw away something that is still showing signs of life. On another note: the device can recharge cells and I would assume NiCad cells. I am currently using 3Nickel-Metal Hydride cells in it. I am not sure if the charging of NiCad and NiMH are the same or not and should completely refrain from using in system charging.
