HP are you listening? HELLO? My last set of batteries last
about four days (heavy serial port use).

I found the files in my DOS directory (either put there by Windows
95, or left over from DOS 5 - the previous version I had). It
sort of works inder Windows 95 (Explorer and such) but works
perfectly with a Reboot into DOS.

I have tried to get it to work with drives A/B/C on the OmniGo. On the
OmniGO I have intersvr A: B: C: and on the PC I have interlnk with drives=3
but it don't work... :( I'll play more tonight. Can get each individually,
but not together.

Indeed. I moved from a Psion 3a, and people still wonder why... :))

Oh, anyone got a way of printing from the OGO via a PC yet?
