Information for developers

Everyone using computers running non-Windows operating systems and Psion PDA's faces the same problems if you want to let these two communicate. If you are a programmer and would like to develop solutions for some of the problems described on the 'desirable features' page you might want to have a look at the sites listed below.

Website Psion Link Protocol
Information The Psion's SIBO and EPOC operating systems use a proprietary serial protocol, called the Psion Link Protocol (PLP), to allow remote access to their filesystems and to permit synchronization. This document attempts to provide sufficient information to allow the implementation of clients that communicate with SIBO or EPOC devices via the PLP.

Website The ClipBoard File
