Aceeca, the maker of our favorite rugged Palm OS PDA(the Meazura), has just announced a redesign of the serial and USB cables of the device. No reasons are given for this redesign; but since existing cables were not recalled, it looks like Aceeca is just attempting to improve reliability or reduce manufacturing cost.
Additionally, the so-called “cable plug” allowing developers to create their own cables for the Meazura, is now officially DISCONTINUED. As with the changes above, no reasons are given and no recall is planned – should you use this part in one of your applications, please contact your Aceeca representative IMMEDIATELY!
Last but not least, here is the text of Aceeca’s announcement:
Please note that we have changed our supplier of Serial and USB cables. The cables now come with an integrated molded custom cable relief and a molded custom plastic cover. You can upload pictures from the following links to view the differences between the old and the new type (Serial Cable example):
