I thought of that a while ago, specifically with a Win CE machine, in the
hope that they may have some sort of DOS shell, to run siocons, esp. as some
CE machines have proper serial ports (I think) so you plug the normal Yaroze
cable in.
On the Palm Pilot scene, is it easy to program for it? Can you communicate
with the serial port easily? Also, I wonder if I could port Siocons to a
Psion version, so I could use my Psion. Oh wait, that would mean
understanding the Siocons source code, d'oh! :)
