Visor Serial pinout on the 8-pin connector on the bottom??

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

Perhaps too expensive for your application, but DataGet (www.dataget.com)
has an expansion module that provides full RS232 support.

Anything "not free" is too expensive ;-).
I'm trying desperately to find a use for this dinosaur.
Investing more $$ is out of the question.

But size is the big issue. Anything that I've seen
that plugs into the bottom makes it impossible to
stick it in your pocket (and have it survive long term).
I've just about decided to drill a hole and run a wire out the top.

And I finally did find the pinout. Was in the 1,235th google hit.
