Rescue 911: Handspring Visor Prism

Many of you know that since I discovered Palm I've started collecting old handheld computers. This week, I rescued a Handspring Visor Prism (with cradle and charger) from the trash heap.

Released in 2000, this was the first Palm OS device to feature a color screen and an expansion slot. The Prism has 8MB of RAM, 16-bit color, and Palm OS 3.5.2H. (The "H" stands for Handspring.) You can read the Prism datasheet here.

With the addition of the Handspring Visor Prism to my collection, the official handheld count now rises to 30 units. For the complete list of devices, please see this thread.
