Serial cable for ZIRE

[bettyboop]

Doews anyone know where I can get a serial RS-232 cable
for the ZIRE?

Palm Zire is USB only

Exactly the Palm ZIre has a USB port meaning it can support
low speed serial too. USB as a standard supports serial.
This is why I was asking. Unless the Zire uses a non standard
USB connection that prevents slower serial communications?

Any ideas?

USB is "serial" but is not RS-232.
Lots of companies make equipment that supports both, but it is not required in the USB standard.

Thanks for your reply but again I am asking if the Zire
supports RS 232 serial specifically or not.
Not if USB is not RS 232 serial or if the Zire has only a USB port.

The USB port can communicate and use a USB to an RS 232 cable
as long as the manufacturer has built this into the design.

All I would like to know is if support for rs 232 is built in or not.
Most PDA's with USB support rs-232 as an added feature with
the use of an adapter cable.

Thanks
