Re: [PilotMgr] USB cradles and Sun serial connectors

["Peter W. Colovas" <pcolovas@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't mean to crash the party, but the adaptor in question is designed
to take a USB port from the computer and attach a serial device to it,
NOT take a serial port from the computer and attach a USB device to it.
To my knowledge, no such beast exists yet. Perhaps you should check into
whether sony makes a serial cradle for the clie.
