Universal Connector?????
It is interesting that no one connected with Palm, Inc., has responded to the question concering the longevity of the "universal" connector. It is revealing that three out of the current eight handhelds no longer support the "universal" connector. It is also revealing that modem kits for the "universal" connector are not available, and the stock won't be replenished until December. Looks like Palm, Inc., still has not learned the lesson that there are people and companies that would like to use Palm, Inc., handhelds as interface devices, and would allow Palm, Inc., a relatively consistent purchaser base for several years. I fully realize that I am throwing myself under the wheels of the Palm, Inc., truck by saying something that can be considered as negative toward Palm, Inc. Palm, Inc., makes a pretty spiffy handheld. Palm, Inc., has done some pretty innovative things. Palm, Inc., has completely ignored a group of professional developers that want to use the Palm, Inc., platform, but need a consistent interface and form factor that lasts longer than six months. I am very interested in hearing what Palm, Inc., has to say. There are Palm, Inc., people lurking in the shadows of this forum. I don't want to know the Palm, Inc., company strategy. I fully expect Palm, Inc., to pursue the fickle consumer market, mutating its handhelds to satisfy the current consumer whim. This is as it should be. They need to stay in business and feed their families. However, they could find a ready market by picking a good platform, freezing its design, and supporting it for two to three years. This would allow professional third party hardware developers some reassurance their efforts won't be obsoleted before their product ships. Palm, Inc., any response??? Like your handhelds. Deplore your attention span. tom -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
Re: Palm VII RS232 Situation
This may just be another case of bad solder on components around the RS232 transceiver. I have asked the end user to do a check or two. I have not heard from the end user yet.

Palm VII RS232 Situation
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?

Re: Palm VII RS232 Situation
Thanks for extending the offer to help. I finally traced the issue to a hardware problem with the particular Palm VII. There were a couple of capacitors in the handheld's RS232 transceiver circuit that were not properly soldered. There was some nasty noise on the TD line coming out of the handheld. Touched up the solder, and life was good again.

Palm VII RS232 Situation
I have an application that makes extensive use of the RS232 port. The application runs just fine on Palm III's and Palm V's. For some reason, RS232 communications become a bit dodgy when the application is run on a Palm VII. I can find nothing in Palm's documentation to help me with this situation. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. tom -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
