Yeah...I know....still had to ask....
Need the cables for a Zeos Pocket PC.
Or if you have a machine for sale, ping me.

Hello Sharko,
How do you like your Zeos? Do you use it for any application?

I'd probably like it, if I could actually GET something onto it!
:mad:
with a couple of 4MB cards, and a serial cable, it would make a DANDY FDD replacement for my Epson PX-8's, Tandy M102, and NEC PC-8201a.
If only....

ya know, I used to work at zeos, and I don't recall much about this machine.
Is it a custom pinout/adapter for serial+lpt connector? The "back room" where I work right now still has a small amount of zeos bits and pieces, it's a long shot, but there might be a cable in a box somewhere. can you send me a pic of what you're looking for, or a picture of the machine's connectors so I can check?

...and, it runs CP/M! Didja find any SRAM cards for it yet? I may have an 'extra' one you could borrow...
Anyways, you know you could male your own from a piece of etch board. Wouldn't be difficult, I suspect. There's a webpage somewhere, I'll look and see if I still have the bookmark (but ya prolly don't need it, it's just a straight-thru shot from edge connector to cable).

I'll take pics this weekend, and edit the post above, as these images won't be around much longer. Looking for pic with the ports.

ok, that's likely enough for me to work with. There are 5 or 6 boxes of cables in back that I'll slog through to see what shakes out. I hate to say it, but don't get your hopes up. That doesn't look familiar to me at all.
IIRC, we really didn't do that much with these machines other than re-brand them and push them out the door, so all that stuff may have been isolated away from my part of the zeos world.
standby.
