I worked at EO when these ads were made. EO created the first "pen communicators" the EO 440 and the EO 880, which used the descendant of the CRISP arch (C RISC processor); these were AT&T chips. I 'did' the cellular module + the interface to the FAX modem (so you could 'fax from the beach'). Heck, I remember one sales guy telling us about his trip to NYC where he was in the back seat of a cab, and he faxed to his client that he would be there in a few minutes, and bang, shows up as the fax just finishes printing the output at the client. I told him just how lucky he was that it all worked, with our prototype hardware! Sale guys...
- joshu 4y agoI have a working EO 440 in my collection. Such an amazing and odd piece of history…
- GeorgeTirebiter 4y agoEXcellent! The chief HW guy went on to Palm, and succeed. He uses his EO 440 to display a clock. So, it's still useful.
