Several years after the Poqet Prime and Classic, and some time after [[Fujitsu]] purchased Poqet Computer Corp., the new and improved Poqet PC Plus was introduced. The Poqet PC Plus had significant differences from the Classic and Prime models, some better than others. It features a rechargeable battery pack that holds a smaller charge than the "Classic", enhanced [[PC Card]] slots that now support more PC Cards, a transflective backlit [[LCD]] and 2&nbsp;MB of RAM (640&nbsp;KB to DOS, 64&nbsp;KB shadow, and 1-1344&nbsp;KB for a RAM disk). The Poqet "Classic"'s LCD didn't have a backlight and was more prone to breaking than the Poqet PC Plus. It also only took Type I, Release 1.0 SRAM cards, as opposed to Type II cards and Release 2.0 cards, including flash, SRAM, and a few modem cards. The Plus also had more memory. Despite many improvements, the Plus also had its drawbacks. The Poqet PC Plus was considerably larger and heavier than its predecessors. It weighed approximately {{convert|1.83|lb|kg|abbr=on}} as opposed to the Classic's {{convert|1.2|lb|kg|abbr=on}}. It also has a very odd miniature 26-pin serial connector for which there is no currently available adapter. However, many [[Toshiba]] external floppy drives and dongles used this same [[Japan Aviation Electronics|JAE]] connector. An amateur radio hobbyist who uses a Poqet has found a way to make a suitable adapter.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.qsl.net/wb3gck/serial.htm| title = Poqet PC Plus Serial Adapter}} </ref> It also is not totally PCMCIA Release 2.0 compatible, so not all memory cards will work, and, as Bryan Mason says on his Poqet site, only the "PNB Samantha modem, Megahertz 14.4&nbsp;kbit/s modem with XJACK, and the AT&T Paradyne KeepInTouch 14.4&nbsp;kbit/s modems" will work in it.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.bmason.com/PoqetPC | title=The Poqet PC Home Page }}</ref> In addition, not all CompactFlash cards work in the Poqet. Users have found that many machines do not work with newer CF cards.
