The nice thing about RS232 connections is that you can mess up the

wiring

and you won't hurt anything. I need to wire up a gender mender in

order

to

get my GPS to work with the IPAQ. There are gender menders out there

but

they won't work because they don't cross over the TXD and RXD

cables.

If

you can find one that comes apart you might buy the tool the pushes

the

pins

out so that you can move them on one of the DB9 connectors.

Hopefully this will get you started.

Where does one find that peculiar (DIN?) connector on the bottom of the
IPAQ? I haven't found one yet that I can purchase somewhere. I use the
controlvision version gps on the ipaq and want to try a few things. BTW,
I hear there are 2 versions of the connector depending on the version of
IPAQ you own (I have a 3650 and use a Garmin gps antenna/receiver
prewired to the ipaq).
