Here, feast your eyes on my IBM Workpad, which is a Palm Vx undercover:

I remember that it came with PalmOS 3.5, you could call IBM and they sent you a CD with PalmOS 4.0, which you then had to write into the ROM. I also remember that i had an app that would overclock the hardware considerably for games or underclock for longer battery time.

Look, it's shiny:

Of course i also have the original keyboard, it's the part behind the cradle:

Here the keyboard is opened and attached to the Workpad. Never mind that the cradle is labelled Palm, i have one with the blue IBM label too:

The IBM Workpad was used via infrared with this freshly cleaned T40 (people, use ArmorAll, it's the bomb!):

I also have a Mac-serial-to-Palm adapter (really a Mac-serial-to-RS232), so i guess i could try if i can connect MacOS 7 and PalmOS 4. |)
