#psion5 — Public Fediverse posts

Question for maybe @thelastpsion; did anyone take the time to reverse the Psion 5 word file format? It seems quite different from what’s in https://doc.psion.info/books/siboepoc16/page/psion-word-file-format (also xxd is telling me that some things inside the file format itself are… localized strings 💀 )

I was sitting in the sun, working on my outline and character database on my #psion5 . The screen became unreadable. Oops! After two minutes in the fridge it is back to normal. Knowing that the screens of fives degrade, I will be using the Revo for working in the sun from now on.

It's really easy to beam files between them over infrared, though I still have to test that from newer to older device. Probably not a problem.

a chance to break the #psion5 out today! Training course.
No internet connection, no pop ups and a pair of AAs will easily last the day 😊

I'm using my #Psion5 as a writing helper for my comic. I have an outline in the word processor, a timeline in the spreadsheet, and character notes in the database. The database is only just good enough, the other software is very nice.

The Revo has a more readable screen, but the Series 5 has a much nicer keyboard. If you want to type with your thumbs only, the difference doesn't matter.

Either is much better for writing down ideas in odd places (park, train, bed...) than a laptop is.

I was going to make this the first post tagged with the title of my comic, but it turns out one with a very similar title exists on the web. I will have to think of a different title.

@Kroc thanks everyone!
That inst_te.exe idea sounds perfect - will give it a go

Does the #psion5 have a rom version that included the installer program so you can install SIS files direct from CF?
Mine lacks the installer - I can add it via psiwin and serial but it's a pain!
I know the roms are on a daughterboard - are they flash or mask roms?

Spent a good hour removing the rubber coating that was peeling off from my Psion 5, and of course I finished the job with a sticker
