Early 90s PDA info request

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops (More info?)

Greetings all on the list. I am looking for a PDA released prior to
October 1993 that had sync capability and also featured any form of a
thumbwheel to either adjust contrast or was used for menu selection.

Please contact me off list if you can help.

Thank You
Paul

Considering that the Pilot 1000 and 5000 were released in March, 1996, well -
no you don't.

Yes the M100 did meet all of the criteria however I'm looking for additional
examples.

Thanks all who have posted

Hi,

Does a Tandy / Casio Zoomer PDA fit in this discussion?
It ran the Geoworks OS.

The old Casio SP4000 series had a contrast wheel. You can still find
them on ebay for under $10.

Looking for items that match a patent dispute claiming to have invented such
a device in 1993. We all know that is a crock so I am acquiring some of
these toys to show "prior art" does exist.

Thanks guys and gals

the Casio SF-7500 is a good fit and I have two. Still looking though for the
FA-120 Travelling Software PC sync cable and DOS software if anyone has
same.
