HP 95LX has an
Intel 8088-clone
NEC V20 CPU running at 5.37 MHz with an
Intel system on a chip (SoC) device. It cannot be considered completely PC-compatible because of its
quarter-CGA (MDA)-resolution LCD screen. The device includes a
CR2032 lithium
coin cell for memory backup when the two AA main batteries run out. For mass storage, HP 95LX has a single
PCMCIA slot which can hold a
static RAM card with its own
CR2025 back-up coin cell. An
RS-232-compatible
serial port is provided, as well as an infrared port for printing on compatible models of Hewlett Packard printers.
Display In character mode, the display shows 16 lines of 40 characters, and has no backlight. While most IBM-compatible PCs work with a
hardware code page 437, HP 95LX's text mode font is hard-wired to
code page 850 instead. Lotus 1-2-3 internally used the
Lotus International Character Set (LICS), but characters are translated to code page 850 for display and printing purposes. ==Software==
