Sorry again about all that, long story short my mail relay gave me a bounceback
and I thought I had hit a bad address, but turns out it was just my awful
excuse of a mail server being weird. Thank you again for sending me a copy, I
really appreciate it.
Would it bother you if I upload it to the PalmDB archive site? It's a pretty
unique piece of software, I'd hate for it to get lost somehow.
Roland

I couldn't resist a recent M100 on ebay listed as "not working". The main
issue was a dead contrast pot, which I have temporarily worked around and
ordered a hacky replacement.
The polarizing film is also very bubbly and no amount of smoothing made it
stay flat on the LCD. Is there a known replacement for the film?
Most importantly, I noticed about a half dozen non-functional keys. After
disassembly I discovered corrosion on their diodes. Upon closer
"inspection", said diodes disintegrated.
So my second question is: Is there a particular diode I should replace
them with? I have tons of 1N4148s, which look like a match (and
electrically drop about the same voltage), but I can't find a spec for
those diodes on the m100 schematics.
Thanks
-David

I have some, just haven't got to my project that needs it yet :D and with
the onset of spring, that one may sit for a bit.

Hi, my name is Roland, figured I'd introduce myself. I'm 30 and live in Texas.
By day I climb towers and run cable, and I spend the rest of my time hanging
out with my wife and seven dogs while trying to fix the stacks of broken
computers, radios, and cars I've accumulated in a huge garage. I've been
eyeballing these T100's for years and finally got my hands on one at HamFest
this week in the form of an 8201A.
I have a question for y'all - I am the world's hugest hoarder of PalmOS
devices, and I would absolutely LOVE to get my hands on a copy of DLPilot. I
can't seem to track down the author and it seems like that was a project that
might've lost interest about the time Palm handhelds became extinct. Would any
of you know how I could get a copy?
Thanks and nice to meet you guys, it's cool to see a community like this and
I'm excited to get into the T100/derivative world.

Hey Roland
Welcome to the list.
Yup John Hogerhuis is on this list, the developer of DLPilot for Palms back
in the day.
Assume you had found this page?
http://bitchin100.com/dlpilot/DLPilot.html
Not sure if John is still selling it, but am sure he can update you.
I also was into the m100 <-> palm stuff back in the day. Hence my now very
dated website about it...

Cheers
Daryn

Welcome, Roland.
I'm still here, you just have a short track-down timeout ;-)
I just sent you a copy of the last (and unsupported) dlp.prc
