Question about HP 100/200LX's Message #1 Posted by Han on 9 Apr 2006, 12:16 p.m. Are the serial cables for these machines the same as the one for an HP38G? Or are the pinouts different despite the same number of pins? I did some research on it but I've gotten some answers saying yes, they are the same and others saying no they're not =( So does anyone know for a fact if they are the same/different? Thanks! Han

Barbosa on 9 Apr 2006, 1:57 p.m., in response to message #1 by Han Hello Han, The serial cable for the HP-200LX is the same serial cable for the HP-48G/GX (HP-38G?). Mine reads F1015-80002 on the 9-pin RS-232 connector. However, when tranferring large files I prefer to use the built-in multi-card reader in my hp-7260 printer (you'd need a compatible CF card and a PCMCIA adapter, though). Regards, Gerson.

I have an adapter combination which will fit on nearly all Clarke/Yorke machines HP-48, HP-38G, 39G, 40G, 49G, and the HP-95LX, HP-100LX, HP-200LX , maybe the OmniGo, too. It's the F1015-80002 combined with the 5181-6643, and at the end the special Y-adapter F1212-80001. The latter is marked as rare bird in the Cable Table, and was available only with the HP-38G overhead display. Regards Raymond

I cannot find it right now,(it was either here somewhere or hpcalc.org) but I would recommend proceeding with caution. Tomcee
