We can never bring ourselves to
part with old gadgets (unless they go to a good hacker
home). Thanks to our pals at hackaday, we now know what the hell to do with that
old Palm Visor: turn it into an LCD output device for a PC. PalmOrb is an open source project that converts your old
PalmOS device into a status display controllable via an LCD driving program such as LCD4Linux or LCD smartie. Any
device running PalmOS 2.0 or greater should work, so feel free to turn your dusty Handspring Visor, IBM WorkPad, or
your about to be dead anyway Sony CLIE into a complete
emulation of a Matrix Orbital LK204-25 LCD. Also note the PalmOrb
developer is looking for someone to take over the project, so get on over there and send us a tip when you're done with
the next rev.
