Hi.
Back in the mid-90s, MicroPalm (of Clearwater, Florida) made the PC/
4000 and PC/5000 handheld units.
I don't have any documentation - and can't find any on the web - so
I'm looking for:-
(1) Pinout of the 50-pin docking connector (3-row "D"-type)
(2) Utility disk with link software (MPCLINK.SYS, CONNECT.COM ?)
TIA - Mark.
