This article is related to the Palmtops HP 100LX, 200LX and 1000CX. The OmniGo 700LX and the 95LX cannot be upgraded that way. If you are interested in a RAM upgrade for your HP Palmtop, have a look at my HP Palmtop products page or contact me. There are pages excellently describing do-it-yourself memory upgrades for the 200LX some of them without the need of a daughterboard:
This is a 8MB upgrade daughterboard by Times2Tech which upgrades every kind of
basic configuration to 8 MB, because the on-board RAM is removed entirely:
This is a 32MB upgrade daughterboard by Times2Tech:
The following pictures show the additional wires which are necessary for the 32MB memory
upgrade.
Some pins of the CPU chip have to be removed from the mainboard and
wires have to be attached to them. These are pins 24 and 25 from the right on the pin
row which faces the battery compartment. The wires lead directly onto the memory upgrade board. Pin 24 (the right one) leads to the pad labeled "A1" of the Times2Tech 32MB upgrade board and pin 25 (the left one) needs to be connected to pad labeled "A10".This is a very tricky job and not recommended to be done by people who are not experts!
The pictures below show the 64MB upgrade board. 3 additional address lines must be connected
to the CPU for that kind of upgrade. The daughter board is much larger than the boards of
the 32MB and smaller upgrades. There are also 64MB upgrades which have the same small daughterboard size as the other upgrades.
