Aceeca + Software
=================

I'm  in  the  process  of  installing  of  software  to  my  brand  new
Aceeca PDA32.  It synchronises well with  my Fedora/ppc64le workstation
("modprobe  visor",   "pilot-xfer  -p   /dev/ttyUSB0  -i  XXX"   ;  the
"pilot-xfer.." must be sometimes repeated).

By the way, the Palm III (with an USB-serial converter) synchronises as
well. It's just more reliable...

It seems  that some older  programs can render it  unbootable (hardware
reset was needed - all applications are erased in this case).

I have installed these tools which work here:

* Progect
* DiddleBug
* Metro
* TiBR
* Converter 
* EasyCalc
* KeyRing
* CacheMate (of course there is no GPS!)
* DopeWars
* FileZ
* Freegrid (a table editor without calcualtions)
* SpMat (a matrix calculator)
* SmallBASIC
* PtCon (a Tcl interpreter - I'm going to test it)

The CSpotRun also  works but the TiBR  seems to be more  polished. I am
going  to install  some development  stuff, too.  I have  the Pocket  C
licence, after all...

Software-wise, this device is interesting.  It has Palm OS (Garnet OS?)
5.4.0  with old,  good, traditional  launcher  (I never  got the  thing
which  T|X uses  by default).  The problem  is that  the device  has no
configurable  hardware  buttons  and  the "Home"  and  the  "Meny"  are
represented by tiny  icons in the left bottom edge  of the screen. They
are somewhat hard to press.
