What's the best way to get my 6651 connected to a PC? There's a serial port on the device, but it's a strange proprietary connector and there doesn't seem to be a cable for it available anywhere. Is synchronizing possible via the infrared port? How could I get one of those to work on my PC?

Thank you

It uses those old style 18 flat pin serial connectors. The same ones the old Sharp Zaurus handhelds used that were serially synched. Find one of those cables and it’ll work with your 6651.

But infrared is a better way to go if you have multiple vintage devices…

You will need an adapter, which you will either get lucky and find cheap or be unlucky and find super expensive on eBay
