I recently received a Sharp ZQ-2200 Electronic Organizer as a gift. It has a
serial interface port for communicating with other Sharp organizers. Sharp does
not support a PC interface for this particular model, so I'd like to build
one.

Apparently the port supports standard asynchronous serial communications -
1200 baud, no parity, 1 stop bit. A simple CMOS to RS-232 level conversion
circuit should provide the hardware interface required for a PC connection.

I cannot, however, find any information regarding the protocol used by Sharp
for communicating between these organizers.  

I would appreciate any info anybody can provide regarding the protocol...
Literature, a contact at Sharp, an ftp site, anything!  So far I have come up
empty handed.

Thanx in advance!!!!!
Blair
