The software (DOS) to transfer data from the CASIO SF-7500 to the PC is quite akward to use but enough just to make backups. But - if you try to transmit the whole content of the SF-7500 to a PC you might be surprised to find out, that the data for SCHEDULE will not have been stored completely in the PC although all of them scrolled over the screen of the PC display. Work around: don't use "3 ALL DATA ITEMS" in TRANSMIT. "2 MODE DATA ITEMS" works fine. My PC software for the SF-7500 is V 1.00. Anybody who knows about an improved version? best regards, Goetz

Exactly the problem that I'm having. > Work around: don't use "3 ALL DATA ITEMS" in TRANSMIT. "2 MODE DATA ITEMS" > works fine. Unfortunately not. SFD prints "RECEIVE ERROR!" as soon as a term data item is sent from the 9000 to the PC. Am I correct in assuming that SF-7x00/8x00 don't have term data items (schedule entries that span several days)? My diskette is marked "A01C" apart from a long string beginning "MF2DD....." > My PC software for the SF-7500 is V 1.00. Anybody who knows about > an improved version? I posted a note previously detailing the problems I've had trying to purchase a copy of new software. I understand that in the US the PC Link is actually FA-120 whilst in the Asia Pacific it is the FA-100. I can't imagine what the differences could be. But the major problem is that Casio does/will not sell software alone. They can only suggest that you buy the whole package again. HuiLin Lim
