	The cable from the PC must be a proper full-null cable which implements the hardware flow control (CTS/RTS) lines. TBACK will not work with a cable that is missing the flow control signals (3-wire cables) or which loops back flow control. The author uses a Belkin Serial Laplink cable.

	TBACK is not designed to work with a T200, though a variant for the T200 is possible. Certainly variants are possible for the T200 and the Model 100 workalikes.		TBACK is not designed to work with a T200, though a variant for the T200 is possible. Certainly variants are possible for the T200 and the Model 100 workalikes. The first hurdle is producing documentation and code samples for low-level direct access to the T200's UART.
