Re: [Mytemp-users] serial ports

[Christof K. <ckl...@us...>]

Hi Rob,

for the Sony Clies you have to differentiate between the 300, 320,
500, 610, 710, 770, 'S' and 'N' series Clies on the one hand and the
T, NR, SJ, SL, NX on the other. The first have normal RS232 serial
ports (like the PalmInc/PalmOne's), a Resistor is needed between pin
12 and 13 to change from USB to serial port. The later have only
crippled serial Ports with 3.3V-TTL signals. (Same as the Visors.)

Please verify this information, I have none of the mentioned devices.

Regards,
  Christof
