No but I run XyWrite III Plus on an HP200LX Palmtop. Runs brilliantly.
Just need B-W.PRN with DD=119 added. The HP200LX has been around since
about 1990 and is still being made by HP (rumour has it production will
stop this November though). It is a full featured DOS computer with
80186 chip & CGA screen.

This is an overstatement as the Wince machines ***need*** a Win95
desktop to be even vaguely full featured. The marketing hype
surrounding these machines is unbelievable! In fact they seem to be 50%
hype (just a guess).

If you can, test-drive before you buy - as far as I have heard the DOS
emulator is functional, but slow.
