GEM HP Palm Computer

I am looking to find a working, or repairable HP Palmtop with the Insight GEM software on it. I wanted to track some trends on my rear engine. I plan to replace the engine monitor in the spring, but for now, need to download info. Anyone have any leads or ideas?

I called insight, they say they no longer have or support, so the manufacturer is no help. I have found an HPLX but no joy on the GEMCOM software, if anyone has, well that would be great. It is likely a PC-CARD that installs into the HPLX - I can copy if some has one they can share.

Please let me know.

I poked around and find it odd that there is not a copy of gemcom.exe out there.

What analyzer are you going to replace the GEM with?

Frank,
I have the GEM software! It’s present on a memory card that plugs in to the HP 95 or HP 200. Do you have the adapter that allows you to use the memory card with your HP?

I also have a functioning HP 95 and HP200.

See photo of the HP screen. I think this is what you need

So I would love a copy of the software. You can email me with info. Frank.oconnor19@gmail.com

I was thinking about going one of three ways. A G4. Basically nothing more then what I have, but up to date on displays and software. A jpi960. Replace all of the legacy engine monitoring systems or a garmin EIS as I have all glass for flight systems

Each has a progressively larger price tag. Lol
