The idea that if I use Zoomer Text Editor, for example, I will void my Casio
warranty is ludicrous. Casio does not understand the PDA market. They
consider this device more like a calculator than a computer: "Here is the
unit. Here is an AC adapter and a comm cable. Use *anything* else on the
device and you void your warranty."
This is a computer. It has a serial port and a PCMCIA port. Of course we are
going to connect other devices to it. Some work, some don't. The Newton 1 MB
SRAM card that I have in my Zoomer is probably not on Casio's approved list.
Does using a Newton card void the warranty? Does running PKUNZIP Jr. void
the warranty? I connected my serial port to a CDCNET terminal concentrator
that allows me to connect to a dial out modem, CYBER mainframe, and Unix
boxes. Does that non-approved use of the serial port void the warranty?
Or did you really mean to say that use of a non-approved AC adapter voids
the warranty?
My guess is that Casio really does mean *any* non-approved software and
hardware voids the warranty.
