Hi Bill! Regarding the Visor, you may find this link handy: http://www.pocketaprs.com/visor.html
I used the last circuit on the page and it worked fine. Also, you need to be aware that the Visor, when placed in it's serial cradle, launches a keyboard reader/monitor that opens the serial port. Subsequently, if you launch your program after placing the Visor in its cradle, then your program's serial port open call will fail since it is already open. There's some info about a workaround on Handpsring's website. (The workaround works fine for me.) I can probably provide a link if you have trouble locating it. I haven't got or tried a Sony, yet.

I am building an app which uses the serial port to interface to a simple, non-powered device which outputs pulses at a low frequency (less than 20Hz). On the Palm Vx and m100 that I have done my initial development on, it works to use a serial cable which uses only the RTS and RXD pins. It also works to attach these two inputs to the Palm serial HotSync cables. Last week, I started some "compatibility testing" and bought a Visor Deluxe and a Clie SJ20, as well as serial HotSync cables for each. I can't get either of them to input the serial pulses (using the inputs attached to the HotSync cables), even though the serial HotSync works for both. After researching the Visor, I can see that I need to supply power, and am trying to find a new cable that will do that. Do I need to do the same thing for the Clie? On the surface, my experience contradicts Dave's statement, since I can do the serial HotSync. As always, thank you for any assistance.
