Hi,
I sure im insulting your intelligence, but remember that the RX/TX pind on
the cradles 9 pin D connector are the other way around to the PC's serial
port (else they would not talk), therefor if you connect a third party
device to the PC and the Palm device with the same cable it wont work on
one. This cought me out for about an hour.
Im having loads of problems with differences between POSE and the Palm
hardware, somethings crash on hardware and not on the emu, others work on
hardware and simply refuse to work on the emu (wont recieve bytes).
Obviuslt the UARTS and hardware are different, so you have to be extremely
carfull. If you get error on POSE with three unprintable chars in a dialog
box or fatal exceptions on the hardware, it is likely to be bus errors.
