Hello,

Let me repeat a question I asked on the Cadsoft group since there are
also users of other CAD systems here: Is there a PDA or other handheld
that can be used for schematic entry and editing, plus maybe writing the
module spec to go with it?

In other words something that has enough RAM and Flash to run Eagle or
similar programs but where the processor does not have to be powerful. Of
course I don't plan to do layouts that way (don't do layouts myself
anyway).

Eagle does not seem to use a lot of memory, less than the 20mb.
The real hurdle is running it on Win CE. If it uses any functions that
are stripped out to make it CE then your out of luck.
Hmmm, there are simulators.....


Plus I'd have to run more stuff later, such as the IAR compiler. Would be
nice if that PDA could run regular Windows, just without the glitz and on
the lowest possible resolution.

The other problem is they usually run a risc processor so you'd have to
recompile for that target. The only one that is 86 compatible (I think) is
the geode, but they arent PDA's.

But there are quite a few cad packages for PDA's, third party.

Merry Christmas!!
