... lots of #PDA #Newton #Psion #Zaurus #Avigo #HP #clie

State of the collection in 2026

About a nearly forgotten device class and running OpenBSD on it. The Sharp Zaurus was a great little device I used back in the days and still have it.

Too early to see wide adoption by people, PDAs was soon to be killed by smartphones. Today nobody really talks or even thinks about it anymore.

Ever wondered why and how #OpenBSD was ported to the Sharp #zaurus ?

Well, having never had any Zaurus, I am overqualified to tell that story!

As the story is quite long, it will span two parts. You can enjoy the first part of the OpenBSD/zaurus story, where I discuss the unseen part of the iceberg.

Stay tuned for the second part next wednesday!

Anyone remember PC Expo? I attended PC Expo '98 and '99 at the Jacob Javits Center in NYC, mainly with an interest in handheld computing.
