My #TandyZoomer arrived... I took a chance since *every* one on ebay couldn't power on, and sure enough it has a fiddly battery mechanism involving safety switches that nobody bothered to figure out! So it works! 🎉
Except the lower half of the screen is a bit wonky... might be a loose cable, worth a stripping and cleaning...
Anyway, it comes with #AOL. Which isn't surprising, since there was a #Geoworks version...
Gotta make a serial cable for the weird port and figure out the PCMCIA slot...

The Tandy Zoomer/Z-PDA: This personal digital assistant, co-developed by Casio and marketed by Tandy, was a gem of the early '90s. Launched in 1993, it ran on the GEOS operating system and boasted a touchscreen interface, handwriting recognition, and various pre-installed apps. It was one of the pioneering devices in the PDA market, setting the stage for future handheld technology.
