I once had an original US Robotics "Pilot". From before they even rebranded it to "Palm". Very similar looking hardware & software to this, but I guess with a slower CPU etc. Maybe I even still have it somewhere...?

You might take a look around for it. They made two original versions, the 1000 and the 5000. The 1000s are pretty hard to find nowadays (seems a lot of early adopters went for the higher memory spec).

Some folks in the community even have upgraded PalmCards (the replaceable CPU board in these) that run PalmOS 5 now, hack the display to show more bits, etc.

Can you link to the Palm OS 5 PalmCards? That seems like brain surgery.
