SSD's
I am new to Psions. I first bought a 5, but I find the screen quite
difficult to read with my elderly eyes, as it lacks contrast. I have since
bought a 3c, in brand new condition, and find it wonderful, except for one
thing. I have a 2MB model, and can see myself needing more memory, to run
other programs. My 5 of course uses standard compact flash, and after one
card I couldn't read, I now have a 64MB card which works well. Is it
possible to buy memory for the 3c, which I gather uses only Psion
proprietary cards?

Hi Jim,
the Series 3c uses Solid State Disks. You can still obtain these from a few
places including eBay www.ebay.co.uk, and POS. I got a couple of 1MB disks
for my Series 3mx from Pinnock Organiser Services in London (who are
excellent)http://www.posltd.com Their price list currently quotes the
following:
512K Flash SSD card
£25.00
DISK-SSD-F-512KU
1mb Flash SSD card
£35.00
DISK-SSD-F-1M-U
2mb Flash SSD card
£65.00
DISK-SSD-F-2M-U
512K Ram SSD card
£45.00
DISK-SSA-R-512U
1mb Ram SSD card
£75.00
DISK-SSA-R-1M-BU

Re: SSD's
BTW, I have found the flash SSDs, while perhaps slower, to be invaluable in
terms of robustness and saving data.
What have been people's experiences with RAM SSDs ? Have they also found them
to be 200% reliable or must one have to worry about keeping the battery topped
up to ensure the data is maintained under any/all circumstances ?

It may be that Jochen Seigenthaler still upgrades flash SSDs if they are
not fully populated.

I have used TradeMe, the New Zealand equivalent, but when I am trading to
the other side of the world, I prefer dealing with a firm, and one I know to
be reputable. Thanks anyway, Richard. I have had a look at ebay, and drooled
at the stuff available.
