Palm IIIC Question

[htmlmasterdave]

Is it possible to run OS 5 on it? How would I go about that? Thanks!

If I can remember correctly, OS 5 is not free. Ypu have to buy an OS 5 palm to get the OS backup CD. Is your palm color? I suggest doing a Google search or something like that.

No.

Why isn't it possible? Yes it's colour... has a 160x160 screen and 8 meg of ram

OS5 is specifically designed for the new processors (XScale I think) that are going into the new Palms. The different architectures of the XScales over the Dragonballs (which are in most of the older ones) means that the new are backwards compatible, but the old ones aren't forward.

Plus I don't think OS5 supports 160x160 anymore.
