Hmmm, original post in 1/28/03. Dave's response on 1/29/03. And I'm just getting back to this issue. Needless to say I've been off on a tangent.
Details. The application I've written uses the RS232 port to communicate with custom hardware either directly attached to the port or attached through a sync cable. Communication is at 115.2kBd, 8-1-none, auto RTS and auto CTS. The Serial Link Manager functions are used to handle data transmission and reception. The application runs just fine on Palm III and Palm V handhelds under OS 3.3, 4.0 and 5.0. I've even run the application with no problems on a Kyocera phone. The handheld (phone) and the external hardware chat away with ease. The application has communication problems when run on a Palm VII handheld. Unfortunately, I do not have a Palm VII handheld to run the code on, and am relying on feedback from an end user to try and troubleshoot this situation. Also unfortunately, I can find no useful information on the Palm software and hardware websites that provide any clues as to any idiosyncrasies the Palm VII handheld might enjoy. I have no details other than these to provide. Just looking for feedback on any idiosyncrasies of the Palm VII RS232 port. Something I have to turn off before using this port. Which foot I have to stand on? What tune I have to whistle? ????????
