Hi
I have had a SF7500 and my wife has a SF8000.
I had the same thought a number of years ago and visited with the palmtop
forum for a while (casio hangs out there). The upshot was that the only
way available was to purchase the PC-Link software and cable. They made
one for Macintosh too I believe. I use the PC-Link to dump to/from my PC
now. It is a bit clumsy but at least I get a usable backup saved to
harddisk once in a while. It cost me about $100.00, not cheap.
There was a kit sold by Casio to programmers that gave them license to
program for the palmtops and the information needed. It cost a lot also,
over $1000 I seem to recall. There were also some files in the forum that
outlined the format used by the serial interface to transfer data, for
interested programmers.
I have never found a shareware or freeware program that uses the Casio
serial port. If anyone knows of any, please leave the information here. It
would be nice to find a program to PC-Link to the Amiga or just to dump
the address list to it in txt format.
Thanks
