After Boris's original PSION Organiser Forum became inaccessible in spring 2020. The following links are to websites and archives provided by long time users , enthusiasts and contributors. All acknowledgements are recognised.
Jaap Scherphuis web archive contains a collection of most of the documents and programmes for the Psion Organiser. Including a web-based emulator and datapak file editor that I find particularly fantastic.
Boris Cornet (RIP) was the administrator of the original Organiser II Forum which became inaccessible in 2020 and has since been replaced with this new one. The first forum grew out of the chatline on the site set up by Dave Woolnough (www.org2.com) this was later superseded by the PSION2.org website with help from Jaap Scherphuis and Boris (details below). These sites contained the first on-line collection of Organiser documents, articles and software as could once be seen in this archive link.
A legacy Boris Cornet left to all PSION Organiser users is Psi2Win the windows based comms link server. The last version Build 304 containing my requested Print Option allowing users to print or create PDF documents printouts direct from their Organiser.
As build 304 was in beta state, Boris suggested using build 303 windows installer and then placing the Psi2Win.EXE build 304 file in that directory. The links opposite are to the original archive. The files are included below in case the original links are broken.
Download installation instructions and Builds 303 and 304 from the Comms Link Page (here)
The later Windows Communications Server ORG-Link_V2 has more features can be downloaded from the comms link page..
Olivier Gossuin (here) - A Belgium enthusiast created peripherals. microUSB CommsLink, RamPak_256k, FlashPak_512k, microUSB Power Supply. Unfortunately his 'shop' is now closed so if you get a chance to purchase any of these items then I suggest you do so. On the other hand Andrew Menadue (here) an Organiser II Forum member has created replacements which are available via lepowerfulpierre eBay store (here) where all these items are available, along with other Organiser goodies.
Sadly some LZ64's suffers from a persistent and quite irritating whistle, which James believe comes from ageing capacitor.
Remember that program packs can be purchased at a reasonable price from the ebay store The Powerful Pierre. Which will leave your unsized Datapak for storing data.
