SerialFix is an OS/5 system extension that corrects a variety of problems with serial support in Tungsten/T and Tungsten/T3 devices.

Version 2 allows the Tungsten/T3 to communicate with devices that do not support hardware flow control, such as GPS units.

Non-standard baud rates are provided on the Tungsten/T. Devices such as MIDI controllers or automotive computer interfaces that require special baud rates can operate normally with SerialFix installed.

If a program fails on the Tungsten/T or Tungsten/T3, but works on other Palm devices, SerialFix may allow that program to operate normally on these devices.

SerialFix enables other programs to operate. It is not something that you need pay attention to once it is installed. The Active status checkbox specifies whether or not it is active. The AutoActivate checkbox specifies whether or not it is automatically made Active after a Soft Reset. These checkboxes are normally both enabled.

Version 2.2 adds support for control of the RTS signal.

Version 2.3 adds support for overriding the connection type to Serial or USB, bypassing of the normal detection logic. This can be used with "Y" cables to select the serial connection. It can also be used to improve reliability with connections that are intermittent or incorrectly identified.

Please contact SerialFix@Comcast.net to report problems with an application that works on other Palm devices.
