Sharp pc3100 --- parallel printer cable?? Used units?

["Harold Lemel" <hlemel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi There

I have a beaten up old Pc3100 which I love to use. A couple of issues keep
cropping up which affect my use:

1) I would like to be able to print out stuff directly from the Sharp, but
don't have a printer cable for the PC3k. I have experimented with using a
serial to parallel converter (which works with other palmtops eg., the
Poqet), but for some reason fails with the Sharp. The printer is initialized
and printing happens, but just weird characters. Full care was taken to
match up settings on the Sharp Com port and the converter.

A dedicated printer cable would be the cleanest solution, but I have no idea
where to get one except by buying another Sharp new (for $100+).

2) I have been using 2 meg ACE Sram cards with the unit. These work quite
well, although the disks are prone to disk errors.

Any idea how I might be able to find used units?

Sorry for the bother, but I would appreciate any help you could provide.

I love the unit for the scrren, keyboard and use of standard AA batteries.
Mostly I use Wordperfect 5.1 and lotus Agenda on it.

Thanks in advance
