With the assistance of the emulator you can read and write data from a Psion Series 3a on a PC. For example with the emulator it is possible to update your agenda also on a PC. Or when you want to add lots of addresses you can do this with the emulator on the PC. Not all applications from the Series 3a run in the emulator. Programs which make use of floating point calculations or work with soundfiles can go wrong. Most of the applications do work well on the Series 3a emulator.

For the Dutch emulator is a Dutch keyboard available (keyboardcode 143) with a well documented layout (in Dutch of course ;-)). The file EPOC.DLL from the distribution above must be replaced by the file EPOC.DLL from keyb-nl.zip. Rename first the original EPOC.DLL to EPOC.ORG or something similar. In this way you can always restore the orignal system.

Supplement

The Series 3a emulator Dutch language does have a small difference with the other Series 3a emulators. As you can see in the screen with information about language and version number, the version number of the Series 3a Dutch emulator is set at 1.10f. This doesn't matter unless your program is testing on version number. Version 1 stands for Series 3 (classic). This means that a number of programs doesn't work well or at all. Known programs are for instance Installer.
