Editing Psion Organiser (section)

=== Post production enthusiasts and developments ===

In the autumn of 1996, when [[Psion (company)|Psion PLC]] had moved their focus away from the Organiser II onto the newer clamshell series devices (below) and had almost ceased support for the Organiser II, Dave Woolnough created the ''Psion Organiser II Homepage'' <ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.org2.com/aboutus.htm|title=Psion Organiser II|work=org2.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19991001203646/http://www.org2.com/aboutus.htm |archive-date=1 October 1999 }}</ref> to fill the gap, stating "Considering that more than 500,000 series II Organisers were produced, there must be many people still using this wonderful machine". The original Org2.com<ref>{{cite web |url=http://archive.psion2.org/org2/org2.htm|title=Psi2Win|work=org2.com|url-status=usurped|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210531132704/http://archive.psion2.org/org2/org2.htm |archive-date=31 May 2021 }}</ref> In the summer of 1997, Jaap Scherphuis joined the site as software specialist and soon became fully responsible for maintaining the web pages on a day-to-day basis. Dave wrote about Scherphuis "A Remarkable Psion Programmer". The Psion 2 archive had a large proportion of programmes written by Scherphuis, many written in machine code. In the spring of 2002 Boris Cornet took over as site maintainer/editor. Later that year he replaced the chat (bulletin board) with the now defunct Psion Organiser II Forum. When he died in 2012, the administrative duties for the forum were taken over by a power user MIKESAN who ran it until the spring of 2020 when he developed a terminal illness and the site became inaccessible. In January 2021 Olivier Gossuin, a Belgian enthusiast, launched a new Organiser II User Forum which in turn became inaccessible in 2022. In January 2023 a Canadian enthusiast Yves Martin provided space on his business server for a replacement forum with a long time enthusiast Martin Reid helping with the administration.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://organiser2.com/index.php |title=PSION Organiser II Forum |website=organiser2.com |access-date=20 May 2021}}</ref>

Another legacy that Boris Cornet left Organiser II users is ''Psi2Win'', the Windows PC comms link server. This Windows-friendly server was developed using Jaaps' reverse engineered comms link protocol. Boris always considered his Comms Server ''Psi2Win'' to be in permanent state of 'beta testing' but with his sad passing it is no longer being developed. With this in mind the author of ORG-link has further developed and released ORG-Link_V2 an Organiser II Comms Link Server that works in all Windows versions 32 and 64 bit. In the winter of 2013, Jaap created his web site <ref>{{cite web |title=Jaaps Site Reference|url=https://www.jaapsch.net/psion/index.htm}}</ref> with the aim "to be an archive of Psion Organiser II information and software that might otherwise be abandoned and lost". Hardware developments have continued with Organiser II Forum enthusiasts creating periferals such as microUSB CommsLink, 256 KB RAMPak, 512 KB FlashPak, and microUSB Power Supply. These, with other Organiser II hardware and software, are still available from the West Yorkshire Psion Store. Massimo Cellin created the Psion Facebook group in the autumn of 2015, servicing all the Psion products including the Organiser II. Members of the Facebook group include the former editor of IPSO FACTO, the 1980s and 1990s newsletters of the International Psion Pocket Computers User Group, copies of which are still available from Scherphuis' archive.<ref>{{cite web |last=Scherphuis |first=Jaap |title=Other Documents: IPSO FACTO |url=https://www.jaapsch.net/psion/ |website=The Psion Organiser Series II |access-date=26 September 2020}}</ref>
