When placing or updating the boot loader on a Compaq iPAQ, the serial "hotsync" cable must be used.  This allows Linux to run on the little handheld.

I am working on an effort to port some Free Software to the Linux-iPAQ platform.  I have hardware to play with but no serial cable to update the boot loader with.

Please contact me off list if you have a serial cable designed for a Compaq iPAQ 3600 or 3700 series handheld.  I need one to keep this work going.
