Forgive me for asking (I haven't pulled out my Cidco 120 for a couple
of y=
ears), but what is the simplest way to transfer plain old text via
the par=
allel port to a PC? I really could use a portable text editor,
and if I c=
an't do that with it, I might as well toss the thing.
Any help would be gr=
eatly appreciated. Thanks!

Why would you want to?
Really the only way is to email it to yourself.

Neil,
Thanks for your reply, but...
Hmmm, why would I want to? Because I=
do?
I would like to simply use it as a small, rugged text editor/word
pr=
ocessor. I would like to for the same reasons one would pull out
a notepa=
d and take notes, or use a laptop to type a letter on a
train. With the p=
arallel port, there muse be some way to export the
text to a PC, no?
Ther=
e must be some way to use it for this outside of the modem.
Thanks for any=
suggestions,
Kevin

This is the project we are trying to work on. One person has posted code h=

There are devices that will c=

for a device that can capture parallel port data
cheaply, how about a parallel port crossover (aka
laplink ) cable. Someone would need to write the pc
side of thing, but wit a modern PC with a
bidirectional printer port, it shouldn't be difficult.
