I recommend NADSbox, LaddieCon/WindowsXP, LaddieCon/Windows2000, Desklink/Win98(or previous) as the best TPDD devices for use with REX Manager, since REX Manager uses only TPDD protocol to load and save image data.
To load files to/from REX, you MUST have a way of hosting files REX can access over the serial (RS232) port.
 
To host files for transfer to REX via REX Manager alternatives include
* [[NADSBox]], [[LaddieCon]] for Windows XP, 2000, Vista, Windows 7,
* [[DLPlus]] for Linux/OSX/BSD, [[Desklink]] for Win98 or DOS or
* [[DLPilot]] for PalmOS 3.x era devices (UNVERIFIED, but should work)
as the best [[TPDD]] devices for use with REX Manager.
