Hello group, In US department stores (and many "job lot" stores) there are pocket organizers for sale for $20 or less. Typical model is a Rolodex/Franklin 512k model that offers many features as well as a phone directory and a jot-down-notes mode. What interests me about these is a "free PC download" kit offered through the mail after purchase; exactly what I could use - a little device I can use to record addresses, phone numbers, names, diner locations, whatever on the road and, when I return home, a way to dump them into my trusty text-only 386 PC.
The main problem is that the included software usually requires W95 or newer; DOS ain't supported. But with the proper serial cable, isn't there a simple way to do a basic "data dump" from one of these little pocket marvels? Has anyone tried this? It would be good to not reinvent the wheel, so to speak.
