I picked up an old Casio Cassiopeia A11 recently, but I've discovered I
can't install any software without a serial sync cable. Does anyone kn9w
where I can get one?

If you can supply a wiring diagram Jim might be able to make one out of some
junk he has. What is a Casio?
Jim says he thinks you mean a nullmodem cable. Would a parallel transfer
cable also work? They are faster and can be made from printer cables.
Does it have an OS? Jim can make a nullmodem cable. We used ours a couple
of times to play with a real terminal and to do file transfer with kermit
between DOS and linux. Email or phone us. Does the thing have a floppy
drive?

Like a Laplink cable?
Hmm... I found a couple images on Google, this is a PDA of sorts. Do you need
a special connector?

The cable is just a serial null-modem, but the serial connector on the
PDA is special. The connector reportedly isn't available on its own in
the U.S. I'll try ebay.

How many pins? Maybe one could be custom-made by Jim to adapt a modem cable
somehow.
You have several choices:
