HP sells a serial cable to connect the 200LX directly to a Mac; its part #F1016A. This handles the physical link, reducing the problem to “How can I get a Mac to talk to a PC across a serial link?
DataViz (1-800-733-0030) is a company which makes a product called MacLink Plus/HP Palmtop, which handles file transfers, and converts the HP200LX application’s files (memo, database, phonebook, etc.) to popular Mac formats (Excel, MacWrite, Word, etc.). One current shortcoming is that the “Notes” section of the 200LX Database/Phonebook programs is not supported in the Filemaker translation. But this is reportedly being worked on.
