Reminds me of the REX PDA.

I still have one. Sadly, not really useful anymore.

I really wanted one in the late 90s. They’re still available in sealed boxes on eBay, amazingly enough.

I’m tempted to pick up one and see if I can reverse engineer the serial protocol, to make it interoperate with something more modern.

The protocol was reverse engineered. I remember a Tcl program that sent calendars and schedules to the device.
