[comp.sys.mac] Macintosh <--> Sharp Wizard interface.

felix@AI.SRI.COM (Francois Felix INGRAND) (07/31/89)

A while ago, I read in MacWeek that an interface between the Mac and
the Sharp Wizard organizer was now available. I cannot find this
article anymore.

I am looking for any pointer to this product and also any comment on
its quality, etc...

Thanks in advance,

This seems to imply that interfaces from the Sharp Wizard to the Mac
and to UNIX (!) are coming!  (Then again, I could be wrong!  (Naaah...))

This posting has nothing to do with BiiN and even less to do with Sharp.
