[comp.sys.handhelds] 48SX WALK correction/Serial Cable

a309@mindlink.UUCP (George Lin) (03/12/90)

Thanks to RICK STERLING (for the HP pinouts), I now have a
RS232 <-> HP48SX cable that works just wonderfully.

Here is the correction for the WALK program on pg 598 of the manual.
(people who are going to type it in, check the character
 conversions on page 627 of the manual and delete the first line
 [%%HP: T...  for I/O transfer only]
 ie.  \<<  is  <<
      \->  is  ->
      etc  etc  etc..)


%%HP: T(1)A(R)F(.);

---------------------------------
Sorry about that triple posting folks, had a little mixup at my end.

Also, for the HP serial plug, I scavanged the connector from a broken floppy
drive.  And, if I remember correctly, pin #1 is closer to the "F" key.
(pin #4 is closer to the "A" key)
