Anybody clued up on PDA's?

[Rob Farmer]

Just got a decent Ipaq from one of the guys on the site, Cheers Harry , and now need to get an RS232 port sorted. I've done a search on t'internet but cannot find anything.

I need to connected from the ipag to a 9 pin rs 232 port on a piece of Comms kit. I've got the interface software installed but just need the comm port.

Any ideas?

The people who make the software usually sell the leads as well. They should at least be able to tell you where to get one.

Thanks Kev But it's our company that originally wrote the software. It's a discontinued product so they no longer do any hardware. The ports used to come from our American office but they haven't got any more laying about.

Apart from insanley expensive Bluetooth ones, I could only find Compact Flash (CF) based ones:

Depends whether your PDA has CF though..?

Roddy,

Just what I needed that. I've got a damaged Ipag lead laying about and a shed load of 9 pin D connectors. I'll run one up.
