PSION
HC-110 Range
This product
has been discontinued. Please check the PSION
main page for other PSION products.

The Psion HC 110 range of handheld computers comprised of two base
models. Both models have 256K RAM and are constructed of high impact plastic and are
highly configurable in memory, software, expansion and peripheral devices. Each machine
incorporates two drives for Solid State Disks, a rechargeable NiCd battery module, two
expansion slots, loudspeaker and microphone.
Expansion modules, such as a bar code scanner, modem, or RS232 simply clip in and fit
flush inside the case at the top or bottom. Solid State Disks are MS-DOS format memory
devices that have no moving parts, plugging directly into the HC or a PC, and offer total
data reliability.
The HC can make use of Psion's special PsiWin software for communication with PCs.
Physical connection can be via an RS232 cable, a modem, or the high-speed interface to the
Docking Station.
