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!!!!!
