It is to me. I don't remember if the Newton or the Zoomer came out first,
but it was certainly one of the first pen-based PDA's. I still use my
Zoomer today because of the great battery life. And GEOS runs pretty well
on that slow 8088 -- try that with Windows CE!

The PC110? The HD was a standard PCMCIA Type-III drive. Try
comp.sys.{handheld,palmtop}. Or are you thinking of the Dauphin DTR-1
(made by IBM) with the 1.8" KittyHawk drive?
