HP100/200LX IR Titling for MiniDisc

RC for MD titling

RC is a utility that makes your HP 100LX and HP 200LX palmtop a universal infrared remote controller. The program RC is freeware, and the writer is Diomidis Spinellis.

I used it as a titling machine of my MDS 303. Therefor I wrote the script RC.MD6. Advantages: the small querty keyboard of the 200LX works a lot faster than the rotary control of the 303. Disadvantage: you have to toggle the underscore/uppercase with F1 everytime you want to change the case and the same goes for the numbers. I tried to program the 'A' key as '<upper> a <lower>', but there were timing problems. If you think you have a better script, I would like to receive your version. All alphabetic characters work, as do the numbers. Many symbols work (e..g. dot, comma, exclamation...). There are also characters which I haven't programmed yet (&..). In that case, you can use the rotary control for that character.

Left and right arrow are used to move in the character string.

Please download:

  • rc.zip which is the original RC-tool of Diomidis Spinellis.
  • rc.md6 which is my script for the MDS-303.
  • rc_readme.txt, these instructions.
To install:
  • follow the instructions for installing the original RC-programm.
  • rename the existing rc.rcf to rc.org (original)
  • rename rc.md6 to rc.rcf
This will do it. For improvements, you can mail me at: [email protected].
