...lot's of questions today...
Yet another project that requires connecting to these devices via the serial port available through the interface connector. In searching the 'net I've seen cables sold for nearly $40. I've also seen raw connectors. What I'd like to find is a source with good pricing for quantities in the hundreds per purchase.
I also saw something about Apple having some sort of a licensing requirement to interface to these devices in any way at all. Is this true? There was a recent online article that described a proprietary Apple-licensed chip that hardware manufacturers have to buy in order to be able to build such things as docking stations, etc. The article seemed to indicate that you can't even buy connectors if you don't sign a contract with Apple.
Thanks,
