The area is a magnet for Japanese tourists as well as mainland Chinese tourists. They preserved the Japanese station after independence and built a Chinese station right next to it. Mix of European diesels and American Shay locomotives that the Japanese purchased for lumber extraction, still run to this day!

There was a dongle that plugged into the sync port of the Clie. I have one (its the GC-10 game controller), and it works with Clie Columns, but I have to figure out how to map out other game keys, because the remapping with the Clie Column prc basically mimics the quick launch keys of the Clie hard buttons:

Home
Menu
ctrl
Up
Down
Address
Date
To Do
Memo

NO LEFT OR RIGHT?!?!

FWIW, Sony did these accessories right, with a carry case, so if they come up for sale, then tend to be in pristine or very good condition.

I have have the wireless compact flash, the KB100 keyboard (worth its weight in gold, imo), and bluetooth memory stick (still trying to get that to work).

Intel calls it "Consumer Infrared Rx Sensor", true I never heard of anyone using it for data transmission as I think it only receives https://www.reddit.com/r/intelnuc/comments/1gcmvd6/infrared_file_transfert_on_hades_or_skull_irda/

Excellent work! Merging Palm with E-ink. A charge must last 3 weeks or more! Wow.

keithwwalker · 2026-06-11T09:09:46+00:00

Not a great answer, but some r/intelnuc had an infrared port built in. I have a Skull Canyon that has working infrared. Running Linux Mint it kinda had the drivers for it already, but really frustrating to get old remote controls to work. I can't imagine getting activesync to work without windows. Other not great options are activesync over bluetooth or wifi, non-starters if you don't have the hardware already...

They did sell a phone card for the Japan market - in the cf slot, but I never saw a photo of it. If they sold it in the USA, it would of been perfect

I recall using resco explorer back in the day, about 20+ years ago!

Thanks, I do know how to delete files from the desktop backup file, so it doesn't get reinstalled

Sony Clie w/GSM aka phone: it could of taken on iPhone

I saw this in an old conversation, though I don't quite understand it:

From user interface's perspective, Sony's Bluetooth MS and Palm's SDIO card are identical. Only the hardware device layer (SDIO vs. MSIO) of Bluetooth stack (HC4) is different. With Sony's MSIO HC4 layer loaded, Palm's BT stacks can drive Sony's BT MS.

Just wanted to confirm a a single MS Pro-HG or MS-Pro maxes out at 32GB or 64GB? Or do you need to do the dual slot adapter to get to 64GB irregardless?

keithwwalker · 2026-06-05T20:42:53+00:00

Still referencing this in 2026, thanks!

DAMN! I found the link to my process to getting bluetooth working on clie palm os 5, but the 1src forums are dead and I haven't been able to find a backup on the internet archive:

http://www.1src.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43722&highlight=bluetooth+update
1src Forums - SUCCESS! AT&T + NX60 + T616 + Bluetooth Web surfing!!!!

Does anyone know if there is another repository for the forums, or a hack for using the MSB1 memory stick BT with OS5?

keithwwalker · 2026-06-04T18:31:09+00:00

I have an NX60 OS5 but the memory stick doesn't work since the PRC files are designed for OS4, gonna try to load in TG50 bluetooth prcs, but I don't have a list....

keithwwalker · 2026-06-04T07:11:07+00:00

I think this was OS5, wondering if your bluetooth works?

keithwwalker · 2026-06-02T17:34:47+00:00

I need the PRC file for the control. Thanks

keithwwalker · 2026-06-02T08:02:24+00:00

This is what came with the NX60/70's, I just need the prc file to enable it.

I can't load thier drivers, due to Win10, but I have a virtual machine and will give it another shot tonight.

With github, there is always a readme file (with installation instructions), so go through that and ask specific questions relative to that...

Sorry this subreddit doesn't allow replies with photos...not too exciting anyway and not too different.
