Hi, rgl726,

I have a Dr Zx similar to the one you have posted. The problem is i can't use it to communicate with the machine. Do i need to do some sort of setting on the PDA before using it?
Please help.

try to install the link socket rotated 180 degress.

Thanks for your reply, rgl726. Infact i have plugged in socket like you said because that is the only way. After following the operation instruction, it just says " comunication problem, please check control power and comunication harness".
Any other solution? Thanks.

Thanks for your respond, auy_tong2. Do i need to unclip the wire and clip it back to its original position after rotating the socket?

You have to download an I/O program onto your palm depending on Palm. Send me pics of what you have version of software and palm type (brand). I will get it working no problem, also just FYI 90% of connection errors are machine side or cable problem not the palm or software.

Thanks you very much, Mr. DBarron.
FYI, i am using a Tungsten T2 PDA and dr zx ver 3.05.0001.
I have tried this on several machines and i always get the same result e.g. comunication
problem. Suspecting that the interface cable might be the cause but they are brand new.
As i am new on this, may i know what is I/O programe? Your kind assistance is much appreciated.
