REX 6000

This page is about that amazing tiny PDA!

I got my first REX6k (I've 3 now! ) as a promotion with a laptop, I searched the internet & discovered the REX community!

I fall in love with the device when I discovered that it's Z80 based - my first computer was a ZX Spectrum, my first embedded systems were all Z80 based before I discovered the PICs!

There are so many good sites about the REX so I'm not going to repeat things here.
To learn more about the REX I recommend these sites:
- For technical/programming issues REX Extras is a good start.
- For usage/FAQs/know-how issues www.rex6000.org is the best IMHO.

I've got some nice feedbacks from AddIn users:

Hi Waleed,
It's me again.
Good job on the two add-ins!
I liked the functionality and the add-ins' interface layout. Bunch of thanks for the great work! When using Qiblah 2.0 and Xity 1.00 I noticed the following discrepancies: e.g. for Zurich, and other cities which have NORTH latitude (Xity 1.0 displays the latitude correct as NORTH (N)while Qiblah 2.0 displays the latitude as SOUTH (S)). But all the Qiblah computations are perfect.
Sorry for bothering on this minor item and keep up developing.
Best regards,

Hello Waleed !

I have tried your add-in. It is looking very good. I have noticed one thing though: When I delete a City the previous or next City duplicates. The City will appear twice in the Rex World Clock.

This is a very helpfull add-in and I like it a lot. Keep up the good work !

Best regards,
Perkd

Hi Waleed,

I just would like to thank you for developing the "eXtended cITY table editor" (what a name :-).
It's a great tiny tool, for which I have been waiting some time. This givbes me the freedom to update the database whenever I want without initialising the device.

Thank you very much.
