Dave,

We know that the keyboard  driver has to be disabled and know how to disable
the driver. Say, soft reset when the cradle is hooked up would be good
enough for now. And an appropriate level shifting cable is used to interface
our RS-232 device. I need to know for sure if the Visor could sustain 115K
communication speed. Is it possible at all?

HermesPalm wrote in another reply: "... they changed the name of the serial
library". Could it be that they changed the library itself? Does the
Handspring serial library is equivalent to New Serial Library? Does it
include SrmSetWakeHandler, SrmReceiveWindowOpen, SrmReceiveWindowClose
functions compatible with those in Palm OS New Serial Manager?

Thank you guys for the replies in any case.
