  • HP Palmtop 200LX and Accurite Travel Floppy

    From Saif Al-Badri@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jan 2 19:15:04 2022
    Hi Palmtop folks, I need your help in getting the updated driver for the HP Palmtop 200LX and Accurite Travel Floppy (passport card PCMCIA) that supports double speed upgrade for the 200LX.

    I saw some people online saying they got an updated driver via email from Accurite, the company is gone since 2017 and there is no way for me to contact them (which I tried already).

    I would be very appreciated if anyone is kind enough to send it via email or share a download link that would help me a lot. I went through many used and new drives then I had to fix one used drive I got of eBay just to find the stock driver that is on
    the PCMCIA is incompatible with doublespeed.

    Here is an old post for John saying he received the updated driver from Accurite. I tried contacting John with no luck.

    Thanks again!
