Nice job Dirky, that is the perfect warwalk setup.. I have the adaptered out version... really bulky.. would be most interested on the URL where one can purchase one or two

I wish the E-125 had a PCMCIA "sleeve".

Casio didn't go that route...

Thanks for the URL, interesting color sorting method, I will have to look around for the cable I seek

RS-232 Serial Cable

Part Number 236251-B21

Need to connect your iPAQ Pocket PC to your cellular phone? Well now you can! With this RS-232 cable and your cellular phone's serial data cable, you can enable wireless data communication with the Internet, or your company's Intranet. This cable adds a fast serial COM port to your iPAQ Pocket PC for attaching cellular phones, modems, bar code scanners, GPS receivers, digital cameras, or other RS-232 serial devices.

Cost $26.00 from Compaq. Better than all those adapters, gender changers, etc... I have used it for console access
on a cisco router also.

well I guess you still need to plug the garmin cable into it.

How does the RS232 cable differ from the serial hot synch cable? Both are 9 pin right ? The only thing I can think that might be different is whether the end is male or female, in which case a simple gender would fix right?

thanks

The compaq sync cable plugs into your 9-pin serial port on your pc. The cable listed above looks like the 9 pin serial on your pc and functions the same as the 9-pin serial rs232 port on your pc.

Basically any device that you can plug into your pc can be plugged into your iPaq using the above cable (drivers permitting).

It adds a serial port to your Ipaq. The 9 pin end of the garmin cable plugs directly into it, no gender benders and no null modem adapters...etc

Hope that helps.

A 3975 iPAQ cable that connects to a Garmin eTrex Legend GPS AND has a power cable for BOTH the iPAQ and the GPS WITHOUT having a ton of adapters... currently this can be achieved with a few of the shelf devices.. but it has to be carried around in a backpack ... and that mess is mostly cables and adapters...

it's easy to hack cables together once u figure out the pinouts. power cables from GPS mice are nice...they have cig adapter on 1 end, plug into PDA on the other, and then serial/power to the GPS. i have a few that i hacked PS/2 connectors onto. the PS/2 from the power/serial cable goes to a PS/2 that feeds power/serial into the GPS. this way i can use any GPS w/ any PDA in my arsenal. for the Etrex, i put some diodes in series to clamp the 5V down to 3V.

i hate the way CPQ's std cables for the 38xx are power or serial only. i have a leadtek cable for the 38xx ipaq's which feeds serial & power into the ipaq simultaneously via the bottom connector. previously, i used a hacked 38xx/36xx adapter to feed the power in w/ the serial to the 38xx.

Yeah I bought one, works great, but the card sticks out of the casio by the length of the card and looks really funny walking around.

The e-200 was suppposed to have one, but apparently casio is dropping out of the pocketpc market.

You can get the cable that Dirky had from pc mobile

I bought one for my ipaq 3630, it cost me $24.50 but so neat and easy to handle, perfect for stumbling
