HP-200LX serial cable Message #1 Posted by David Ramsey on 16 Jan 2003, 1:26 p.m. I'm looking for a serial cable for an HP-200LX-- one with the 10 pin HP plug on one end and a DB-9 on the other. Does anyone know where I could get one of these?

Re: HP-200LX serial cable Message #4 Posted by Jeffrey_G on 17 Jan 2003, 8:10 a.m., in response to message #3 by David Ramsey Serial cables for the HP-200LX and HP-49 are not interchangeable. I attached a HP-200LX serial cable between a PC and an HP-49 and the HP-49 immediately shut down. There must be a pin-out difference between the two cables. Jeff

Alas, cables for HP-38/39/40/48/49 and HPLX Palmtops are NOT interchangable. If you take a closer look they are a little bit different, only a little bit but sufficient :( Ciao.....Mike
