Well, not exactly.  I obtained a palmtop computer (an HP1000CX) and I'd like to
connect it to my Windows computer.  Once I do this, I can compile things for
the palmtop's 8086-based DOS (DOS 6.0) and just transfer them over...  Actually,
now that I think about it, I won't be able to transfer anyway 'cause I didn't
buy the transfer software!  I guess this is moot.  I guess I'll have to compile
the progs on my Windows computer, write to a floppy, bring it over the Linux
machine, and download it to my palmtop.  Ugh.  I guess what I really need is
ethernet.  I'll look into this.

Yeah, sorry, it's on my todo list.  I'm just swamped currently.
Give me time.
