-- Alex, It is possible (my company has had a product out to do data collection via the RS-232 port for several years now), but our approach is to have external hardware take care of timing for sampling. The Palm might be able to do it, but IMHO it would take much lower-level control of the hardware than the PalmOS allows. - Paulo -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
