When I bought my GX-60 I was promised the specs for interfacing to it
through the second serial port. After 5 years of complaints to various
managers, including copies of letters promising such information, I was
NEVER able to get even the barest hint of information. Now, after all
those years, we are finally seeing a couple of devices that do hook into it
(to display external pages), but the data is still considered "company
confidential."


It's not NMEA 108.3 compliant (I think that's the number, I'm doing that
from memory). If you were designing your own device for it, you could
probably figure out the neumonics. I hooked it up to the serial port of
my Palm III, and ran a dumb terminal program. The GX-60 is putting out
human readable neumonics, it's just not NMEA (and it's not at the standard
NMEA baud rate).
