Can anyone please tell me how a Colibri can be connected
to a PDA [like a low-end Palm] to allow file downloads
and uploads ? I want to use the Palm as a more-portable
replacement for an unreliable laptop; no particular
need for realtime or postflight display software, only
the data capture. Can I buy a suitable connector,
or do I have to make/wire it myself ? Since I would
still need some PC to copy the files to floppies, would
I just be wasting my time ?

The software you want is flyWithCE Downloader. Downloader will
download your IGC logs to the iPaq and also upload and download
turnpoints. For what you are doing I would reccomend buying a Compaq
iPaq 38xx. This way, you could use a small SD memory card to save
your logs to. Most contest organizations accept memory cards in lieu
of floppies.

The 38xx crades (connection devices) also have a serial port. You can
connect the cradles serial port to a null modem, and then the null
modem to the PC cable you already have for your colibri.

Everything you need is available from Wings and Wheels.
www.wingsandwheels.com. We can even set everything up for you.
