Psion Series 3a data transfer over serial interface to modern Linux
Transferring data from and to the Psion Series 3a digital assistant is surprisingly easy, still. This is thanks to the plptools, that are still packaged for Ubuntu LTS and Debian.
Prerequisites
- Psion Series 3a
- Psion Series 3 Link (RS232)
- USB to D-sub serial adapter cable
- Null modem adaptor or cable – only needed if the D-sub of the USB adaptor isn’t male
- A Linux system with USB interface and the plptools package installed
