| Guessing you mean the wires, I've got 4 lengths, coming from the Space Shuttle and Mindstorms: 15 studs, 20.5 studs, 70 studs and 164 studs, all including the connectors (2x2's).

| Martin is right, the Handspring Visor uses a different connector than the Palm devices, and so they are not directly compatible cable-wise. You can get TTL level serial comms out of the Visor by hacking the USB cable they sell. Split open the (...) (25 years ago, 21-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)
