Hello,
I have tried installing JAM disk compression program. It is available in
HP 200LX forum on Compuserve and presumeably works well on it.
So, what happened?
Version 1.1 complained of removeable media (drive B: on Ogo).
Version 1.2 complained of incompatible sector size (JAM takes only 512,
how nuch is it on Ogo?).
Did anyone try to install it and had any better luck.
Installed on PC it takes up 25K of RAM and 29K of host drive - Ogo
RAM-disk.
Compression ratio is like Stacker, around 50% for average document.
Wouldn't it be great to have Ogo with 700K free space and no SRAM card
yet?
I wonder why HP didn't come up with something like that when they didn't
like idea of 2M RAM base memory.

Best regards, Juraj
