PSIONs talking
==============

I have  the PSION Organiser II  (actually, more than one  as the reader
might  know).  I  also have  the  PSION  MC600.  The  MC600 is  a  nice
old-school laptop  which runs MS-DOS 3.3.  Thus it can be  used - among
others  - for  development  of  OPL codes  to  Organisers  II. This  is
actually one of main reasons why I keep this machine ready with charged
batteries.

Of course if might  be nice if I will be able to  send the OPL programs
directly to  the Organiser. Technically  if should be possible  as both
machines have  serial. Unfortunately,  both use special  connectors and
cables  and they  were  not compatible  without  special adapter.  This
special  adapter is  not special  at all.  It shoudl  be just  a normal
gender changer for serial cables combined with the 25-to-9 pin adapter.

The only problem wast that it was  not available. I have had the gender
changer thing somewhere but not the compatible 9-to-25 one.

Recently I have  got an Organiser II cable (yes,  that CommsLink thing)
with 9pin  connector. Then I have  realised that the gender  changer is
used to connect my SGI to the MC600.


So I only needed to connect all these things (a MC600's serial cable, a
gender  changer and  the new  CommsLink  cable), power  on the  devices
and...


But I forgot to  replace batteries in my MC! So  I have lost everything
on the C: drive, including all Organiser-related software!

Today I have transferred all necessary  stuff from the O2 to the MC600,
have connected the cables and devices,  then have started the CL.EXE on
the MC side and opened Comms menu on the Organiser II and ...


... it have started to work!.


So IT IS POSSIBLE  to connect the PSION Organsir II  to the PSION MC600
to transfer files. Great.
