The Omnigo archives are available (along with those of other Geos-based
systems) at:

You need the HP Connectivity Pack - or at least the serial cable and the
Transfer program running on the Omnigo - to begin to transfer software.
Also get the Omngo Install Manager. I think its at:
http://www.geoworks.com/index.html
You can boot to DOS by Shift-ON-NEXT, which sends you to the Omngo boot
screen, which is really a hidden DOS prompt. Or- write a batch file as I
did:
I wrote a geos.bat file:
b:
cd \
omniswp r
cd \geoworks
geos
and "put"* it into the Ogo directory "b:\".
Then, I rewrote the last lines of the Ogo's b:\autoexec.bat file to
read:
cd \
omniswp i
rem cd geoworks
rem geos
*"put" is a command under Omnicom.exe.
Omniswp.exe is a keyboard remap program (etc.) for DOS.
These and many other great programs can be obtained as freeware from
lots of sites. Here are some (not a complete list):

Lots of very helpful and clever people to help you do what you want with
the Ogo! Please see the archives, first, though.
