1. Where is the 25 pin to 9 pin (round connector) cable we use
to download information from the Sun workstations to the 332
Motorolas? Prabath and Michael and I were looking for it today
and it *does not* appear to be in the OSL.

beta testers we agreed to report any bugs, so send me a fairly
detailed description of the bug and I'll forward it to the right
people.

Rich - be sure that IRSample is using Serial IR and *not* the Newton
protocol. If its the same version of sample code I've used before,
also called IRSample, it uses the Newton IR Protocol. If this is
unclear, please let me know. Also, is this sample using 2.0
endpoints? Or is it using 1.3 endpoints? Since most 1.3 apps are
backward compatiable just because the app. runs on the 2.0 Newtons
does not mean its using the 2.0 endpoints.

I talked with Prabbath and Michael today. Since they are having so
much trouble downloading to the Motorola I suggested they just
download from the Sun workstation for now and then at least test
their port of the positioning system. This leads me back to
my first question about locating that cable. If its no where to
be found I suggest we build another one. Without it, we can not
demo the indoor positioning system on the Newton.
