Psion mdv cart versions and labels
Here's a page I've just made on the Psion software.
http://qxl.win/psion_packages.htm
It lists the known different software versions all in one place and then shows the different types of label combinations that I've seen. Quite boring, but if anyone has any corrections/additions I'm all ears.

Ask me about felt pads - I can cut them to size and they have proved excellent for mdv data recovery.

Silly Americans...we couldn't deal with titles like Quill, Easel, Archive, and Abacus and needed it spelled out for us :-/

Wasn't it down to one or more of the conventional names being in use at the time in the US and Psion not wanting to ruffle any feathers?bwinkel67 wrote:Silly Americans...we couldn't deal with titles like Quill, Easel, Archive, and Abacus and needed it spelled out for us :-/

I may eventually expand it with file details/sizes and perhaps even images (dumps) of some of the cartridges.dilwyn wrote:Thanks for the article Chr$, nice to see this kind of information being preserved.

Re: Psion mdv cart versions and labels
I was mainly concerned with the mdv versions. I did mention the PC version 'PC Four'. I have that here so will probably add a picture.Martin_Head wrote:There was also a PC version of Xchange.
