What did you write? I probably came across it already!

|I defiantly used a recycle bin app (quite possibly yours) and I tried a lot of sticky note apps eventually settling on MMMsticker (sorry) . I only recently started using a series 3 so I will keep an eye out for your software!

I went looking for Audio Player but couldn't find it so I converted to Wav then psion standard for play back, though its only mono and no headphone jack! Zheros is great and looks fantastic on the colour psion 7!

Do you know if we can install Linux on it?

Is this thing still worth something. I got one 5mx brand new in package , unused. What could I ask for it if I decide to sell it , or is it better to keep it 10more years till it's really vintage ?

I shall have a look for that, a decent search tool is always useful!

The 5Mx is one of the best PDA's ever made with an excellent keyboard and great OS, the screen can be a little dim in low light but is otherwise great!

Thank you so much Sudarshan! I haven't forgotten your request, I keep searching ebay!

Damn thats cool 😎. The Psion 5 might mean you leave your moleskin notebook behind thanks to Sketch, there is also a multi-image/page program you can use to create 'notepads' I just can't remember what its called.... Love space trader, I've played it through a couple of times over the years 😃 I'm intrigued as to how you got Netflix on your handheld TV though 🤔

@@HandheldComputing I prefer physical pen and paper for journaling, but will make use of spreadsheets and Word on the psion. I have ordered a CF card reader and a CF card with loads of psion programs and games so I can play around with those and use the card to transfer documents over to my laptop.

@@jimsmith9056 There is nothing quite like pen and paper when it comes to jotting notes 😃 Psiwin 2.3.3 works under win10 (mostly) so you can sync and convert files, its just the explorer that doesn't work

That is a good question, there isn't an archive as such. A quick Google and it looks like it's on www.mobiware.org a lot of Psion software is available in the Facebook forum in the files section too

Sounds great!

@@HandheldComputing Also finally got my SD to CF adaptor. So im not stuck with 4mb CF cards anymore haha.

@@ctcards2636 Let me know if it works, I had issues with using the SD to CF adaptor in my psion

I would suggest the best place to start is the "Psion Users" facebook group, they have a files selection and it's probably in there. Otherwise try the internet archive

1st off join the Psion users facebook group, then check out their files section (remove the "r" after the .zipr Now just move the .sis files to the Psion via CF and tap to install. The latest Psiwin 2.3.3 will allow sync (with outlook 32bit 2013 or earlier), backup and conversion of files but the file explorer only works in XP Hope this helps, have a good weekend 😃

It a lot better than you think and compared to the Velo 1 is fantastic!

@@HandheldComputing mine died with the infamous cable issue, but may well get one again - it's great to see all these apps - I never had any of them.

@@stuaxo I have had 2 broken flexi cables :-( looked at the tutorials on replacing myself and way beyond me! I was in New Zealand at the time and a guy did the repair for me

The first thing I received my recent 5mx is to open it up and tape the fragile area on both sides of the cable (a curious small hole on the cable which is favourite spot where the breakage begins). Time will tell whether the damage can be mitigated.

@@T_U3721 This is a great idea, I will do mine later, anything to reduce the risk of breakage!

I don't currently have any to sell, like Pokemon, gotta catch em all 😉

Me too! There are a couple of groups working on Psion emulation in android to run Epoc on a planet computer cosmo

Sadly there isn't currently a website for Psion apps like there is for Palm of handheld PCs. The internet archive is a good place to look or join the Psion Users facebook page as they have a lot of software available to download from the 'files' section

You can either save them as an RTF or TXT file on your Psion (if it still works) they will then open fine in word or you can install psiwin 2.3.3 and open the file converter that installs with Psiwin and use it to convert them to a windows friendly format archive.org/details/psiwin-2-3-3-english Psiwin works on win 10 and 11 apart from the file explorer so if your Psion still works you can still sync it and back up on windows

Hi Cliffe, some of this software is still available to buy (Any of the RMR software like PDF+) while a lot of it is "greyware" so its not officially abandonware which is why I haven't linked it. There is a Psion FB group which if you join has a lot of software available in its file section. Hope this helps, happy hunting Huw

⁠@@HandheldComputingHi thanks very much for your advice and info,it’s been very helpful.cheers Cliff

ha ha don't go blaming me lol

@@HandheldComputing Hmmm, yes a scapegoat 😇

@@RobertDeloyd Doh!

Good call, its a great graphics calculator. There's probably an emulator out there for the Psion but I haven't seen one

Yes, all these programs will work. You cannot directly install a .sis file on the 5 (unless you have already installed the .sis installer) so installation is via psiwin - Psiwin 2.3.3 works under windows 10 (and I think Win11) with the exception of the file explorer. Enjoy :-)

I am not aware of any off the shelf linux terminals for the Psion 5. If you are handy with a soldering iron you could have a go at this... www.kianryan.co.uk/2022-11-28-psion-sidecar-ppp-modem-and-terminal/ As for outputs it has IR and serial 232 so no WiFi or bluetooth connectivity but you can get a PC card adapter designed to use with PC card modems. Hope this helps 😀

The OS is built into an onboard ROM chip unless you have one of the elusive 5Mx Pro versions in which case you boot the OS from a CF card. Let me know if you have the Pro and I will try and find you a ROM image file for it

@@HandheldComputing its a 5mx pro 32mb and i have a sundisck 1.0gb compactflash its say on it sdcfb.its the C in a circle i like the R from registred mark and say 03sundis i think its from 2003.I Dont have right now batteries for it but when i open it its say to insert the the card. i have try a few times to install a OS on it but i fail since i have not use linux and all its say in some tutorials on internet. i have a new laptop its working great a rogstrix G and have no Cd to make a bootup cd with linux and i have try to boot up before from usb a windows and dident work i have change the setings in bios and i give up after.... I wait for your guiding and if its posible for a Rom image it will be great.Thanks very much

Yes its a really good application, there's a Psion group on facebook which could help you get a reg code. I also found this on the internet archive. archive.org/details/pdfPrinter_full Hope this helps :-)

Hi T U, I don't understand why youTube keeps deleting your comments. I receive your comment as email though so I will be sure to check out the ones you recommended! RMRTask, Fastbackup, Essential Disk Utilities (this is a great tool), Fileswitch, RMRFile, Macro5 (I've usd this a lot in conjunction with ExtraBars), Plan 5 and RPG dice which I downloaded on your advice!

@@HandheldComputing It's beyond me that KZfaq just deleted my comments with just the list of apps in your reply. Sorry for bombarding your mail box with my repeated replies!

@@T_U3721 Just a bit weird! I've seen quite a few comments by others be removed by KZfaq. Checked my settings which are fine, think it must be a glitch in the algorithm
