PDA Forum / Psion / November 2004

I have my main database application on a PC, using dBaseIII+.  For portable
access I copy/convert the *dbf file to EPOC data in the Series 5, which
'recognises' the file as dBase 5.0. All fields except integer fields in the
DBIII+ file appear as they should, and file is usable on ...

Hi @ll,
The screen of the 5 MX I gave my fiancéé a few years back is now dead.
Is there a way to get the information into a text format?
Or is it possible to connect to the Psion via an emulator and operate

Hi. Has anyone got Psi-win to work via an Acorn Riscpc running Win98SE

to be achieved yet works with PsiFS

Hi
I am a novice at technology. I am not good at typing. It takes me too
long.

Can anyone help me obtain a copy of the original Collins English-French
dictionary (the one that installed using the BrainDock Installer).  I
originally had paid-for downloads of this and the Spanish one, but somehow
I've lost the French one.

I have of late noticed that the touch co-ordinates of the screen on my
netBook keep wandering, sometimes great distances.
This makes using the spreadsheet pretty difficult :-)  Often, I need to
recalibrate several times during a work session.

I've set this option in Control Panel but it doesn't work.
The Mako was dropped and suffered no damage except the battery connection came
loose.
I took it apart and re-connected the battery and it came back to life, but I

How can I access the Extras Bar by keyboard? The touch Scscreen's gone
on my 5mx and it's got a few great apps (Agenda) and some on the
extras bar that I want to access. Tried ascribing a keypress to extras
bar in Marco5 to no avail. It's a strange app, I think, this Macro5. I

How to make 6600 and MC218/Psion communicate the nokia 5MX?
With Phonemanager it doesn't work.
Thanks and hi from Fabio, Rome Italia

Well, the inevitable (I suppose) has finally happened, and my 5mx screen
cable has gone.  Now I have to decide what to do.  [Throwing it away is
not an option... (:-/)]
I'm in California, and unlikely to be back in th UK anytime soon, so the

My Psion 5 has been stolen and I am trying to convert the backup of the
Agenda file to text or anything I can read.
Any ideas?

After my Psion Series 5 has failed me (faulty keyboard) I now try to get my
old 3a going, but have problems getting a reliable connection with PsiWin
2.3. I run Windows XP Pro SP2 on a laptop with Norton Internet Security
2005, SpySweeper 3.2 and Ad-Aware SE Plus (among others). ...

Does anyone happen to know whether the Osaris uses the same Honda
connector serial cable as the Psion 5, 5mx?
Likewise, does anyone know whether all versions of PsiWin work with the
Osaris, or whether you need a particular  older version?

 I have a Psion 3A and have been using PsiWin version 1 for some years
with no problems. Having treated myself to a new PC I found myself short
of a serial port. A serial to USB cable would not work with PsiWin 1 as
it could not use COM 6 (which my Psion 3A connected as). I ...

Can anyone point me to a free/shareware version of Backgammon for the 5mx?
Also, what do you consider to be the best sites for Psion-compatible games?
Many thanks
