It's programmable ...
Psion Organiser II is, of course, a computer. It has a built-in extremely powerful, easy to use programming language (OPL), enabli ng both very simple and highly sophisticated programs to be written to meet your own particular needs. The programs can be stored in the machine or on a plug-in Datapak: OPL's powerful facilities allows up to 4 files from a maximum of 288 to be accessed and processed at the same time. At any time, you can get a status report on the amount of data stored -in the machine and on the Datapaks.
Datapaks, Programs, and Options ...
The Organiser II has two thumb size slots which accept our blank or preprogrammed Datapaks. Datapaks are available in sizes ranging from 16K up to 128K, allowing for unlimited memory expansion and selective storage of your files as you determine.
Preprogrammed Datapaks are avai I able in Finance (calculations from APR & mortgages to tax & investment evaluations), Math (polynomials & quadratics to matrix solutions & integrations), Pocket Spreadsheet (worksheets up to 26 columns by 99 rows), Spelling Checker (displays correct spelling of over 24,000 words), and Travel Pak (foreign conversions and translations). New and different Datapaks are constantly being developed, guaranteeing the Organiser II will always be in step with the times.
On top of the Organiser II is a slot that enables connection via a Comms-Link to desk bound computers. In this way, information may be transferred to and from the Organiser II to a main system. This port also accepts Psion peripheral devices such as our Bar Code Reader and Magnetic Card Reader, making the Organiser II perfect for use in a retail environment.
Other available options include a Mini-Formatter to free up Datapak memory blocks, Home/Office Diary Link for merging information, and a Development System for writing, testing, and debugging programs before transferring them to the Organiser II.
