Sometimes it's a bit tricky with old hardware. How do I get software onto an old #SiemensNixdorf #PCD that has neither a USB port nor a floppy drive? Luckily, #GeoWorks2 was at least installed on it, so with XMODEM and Klaus Peichl's incredibly useful PALMZIP.SYS driver, copying entire directories via a #ZIP100 worked.
