/* * C A S I O . C * * Interface to the CASIO SF-4300 digital diary * * To all you Internet people where I mailed this source to: * * I created this program and the interface circuit mainly to have * a backup of my Casio data, just in case. This is exactly what this * program does. It just reads data from the Casio and puts it into a file * or does just the opposite. I haven't done anything with the file format. * * If you have some more time than I have and want to make a nice PC-based * scheduler out of this or simply convert the Casio backup file into a * format that can be imported into an existing Personal Information Manager * package, please let me know the results. * * I have used the (Maxim) MAX232 chip as an RS232-TTL level converter. I * recently received a Maxim newsletter in which they announced a similar * level converter that does not need the external capacitors. This would * make the interface even simpler and smaller. I did not build a nice * Printed Circuit board, but I just glued the MAX232 upside down in a * 25pole connector housing and connected the remaining components to it. * It took some puzzling, but it all fitted into this serial connector * housing and it makes a nice interface cable. * * * */
