Hi all, another Organiser II user

Hi!

So, my name is Hugo, and I write you from sunny Portugal. Just recently got an Organizer II XP (and will probably go down the rabbit hole to an LZ64 eventually).

I have a funny story with the Psion Organiser family: long long ago when I was 18, me and a friend started selling "computer programs" to whomever would hire us. The first program was an Invoicing / Accounting aggregation for a Gas Cylinder (remember those?) distribution company, which used Psion Organiser devices to account for Cylinders sold/exchanged. We would receive the exported transaction files and consolidate those for fiscal purposes. Back then I never had deep pockets myself, so I never got one of the devices myself.

Many many years passed, and getting a Psion Organiser was always on the bucket list. I eventually gave in on it a couple weeks ago, and got myself an XP, the same model they used back then.

Since I started programming OPL for it (got myself working on a Chrome Dinosaur game clone), I searched for resources, and inevitably got myself here!

Introduction duties done

All the best!

Hugo

Hi and welcome Hugo

I've just looked up 'Chrome Dinosaur game' and an implementation would be perfect for the XP. I look forward to giving it a try!

I've compiled a list of available Organiser II games (here) and one day it would be great to add yours to it.

If you didn't get a manual with your XP there is a PDF copy (here).

To know which version of XP you have use the Calculator and type CALC:PEEKB(-24)

Code: Select all

	Model 	RAM
1 	XP 	16K
2 	XP(LA) 	32K

Great to welcome 'new' users to the forum...
Sincerely Martin

HI Martin,

Thanks for the welcome and the links.

Mine is the 32k version, with a 128k FLASH Data Pak (for which I have a question and will open a new topic).

Best,

Hugo

Hugo, I also included a hard copy of the XP manual with your order.
