Dear Magic,
Can a 2MB sram card be used on a PIC2000?
Technical Support at Sony says that it is possible
but they won't endorse it due to their design
criteria. I find that other manufacturer's offer
less expensive sram cards with more than 1MB.
In the Outfitter's Direct PIC2000 catalog,they are
offering a 2MB card.

Andrea,

I use an Itty-Bitty Book Light that many bookstores sell.

I've been using an Epson 2MB S-RAM with my PIC-2000 and it works well.
They tell you it may not work; could this be to get you to buy theirs?

For those of you who always ask me "How many Magic Links are there?":

In the October 21st issue of PC Week, an article on the 1995 U.S. PDA Market
Share states that Sony has 22.8% of the market; second only to Apple's 44.5%
share. This clearly states that Sony is #2 in the PDA industry (the "others"
catagory is 3rd with 11.5%, and Motorola is 4th with 6.9% -Casio, Tandy and
Sharp are the remaining companies with less than 15% combined)

Dan

P.S. Its on page A8 if you keep your back copies!
P.P.S. The credited source is International Data Corp.

Subject: Which Modem?

I am about to get a PCMCIA modem to another computer.  Are there
specific models that would double as Magic Link modems with PIC-1000 or
PIC-2000?

Cheers,

Seppo

Dan,

Do you know whether the ranking is by dollar or by unit sales?  Dollar
sales would explain the surprisingly low Casio market share.  -- here I
go, everybody seems to have a Casio (or increasingly the Pilot), but
very few have Magic Links or Newtons...

Regards,

Seppo

Subject: Re: Sram Cards

Tony et al,

I have been using a 2 MB sram card, which I bought from Outfitter's, for several
months now.  I have had no problems.

It saved some very important data for me once when I did (what I now know to be)
something very stupid in the Magic Link's storeroom.

Unfortunately, it has no brand name logo on it or anything, so I can't give you a
model.  The invoice says it is an Action Tec card.

Subject: SRAM

        I suggest getting your SRAM cards from Reboot. I don't have the
phone number but I'm sure someone on the list will provide it. They sell 1
meg cards for $49.00 and 2 meg $69.00. I have no problems with them whatsoever.
