If you were referring to CyBorg_0091 which is me and also go by the name of
Jesse or Jessie or info@pctas.com or @pctas.com you will find some real
humor if you do a google search on these names as well as google groups.
I have had lots of fun with looser or consumers such as yourself.

The only thing I am not self accomplished in is Culture Language which I
plan to yet be taught as this is certainly one thing that cannot be self
taught easily and also I know very little about laser technology.

You don't every want to know as much as I do,as you have nothing left to
learn.

really your just pissing in the paddock tring to tell anyone that reading a
FAQ is the first thing to do when learning C and visiting newsgroups

Not likely. He's just another newbie who thinks that because he knows a

Hi Glenn,

My recommendation is, "SCR motor controller with current limit".

Just one page that came up in google

http://www.portlandrobotics.org/robots/palm-pic/palm_pic.html

If you are using a Handspring or other Palm compatible platform, make sure
your serial interface cable is designed to work with RS232. The Handspring
does not contain RS232 line drivers to produce the +/- 12V signal levels
RS232 requires, so an external line driver needs to be used. How to do that
is beyond the scope of this document.

Is this for real? I don't have any experience with palm pilots but shouldn't
they all come with RS232 line drivers?

Any way a good line driver is Max3222 that works from 3 to 5 Volts.

8-9 (odd) years ago, a friend suggested wireframe
storage cubes. For $10 in some discount/dept stores
you could buy one, consisting of 5 30cm x 30cm sides,
each made of wire gridded on a 30mm pitch, and plastic
corner connectors. Makes a great "open-plan" pigeon
hole for IC tubes. You can probably still buy them.

Anyone know of any operation that flogs these by phone orders etc ?

What I'd really like is the punched card cabinets. Very solid powder
coated metal trays, 450x190x90 mm, in big cabinets those slot into.
Dunno if they are still around anymore, with punched cards long gone.

Plugpack/wall-wart ?

I found this at JayCar, but it's only 1A.
http://www1.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=MP3027


DSE sell the following
M2156 taps to 8.5 & 9,5 VAC 2A
M2165 taps to 9V 6.6A

Those arent in plugpack/wallwart format tho.

He asks for a transformer first and a wallwart later.

I seem to recall there are differing ways of implementing RS232, some
work on +/- 5Volts which doesn't meet standard.

Nope no null modem. The serial cable for the Palm is designed for data sync

to a PC. This works well, and I can set up a terminal session on the PC and
talk between the two. However I doubt that the Palm meets RS232 standards as
it is only running on two AAA batteries. Hard to meet the 3V minimum. Thanks
to every one I shall check out the links and see which works.
