This package contains the programs necessary to create Palm OS database 
files (.PDB) and to communicate with the Intellicart.

In order to properly connect the Palm device to the Intellicart, you will 
need the following components:

1) Palm HotSync cradle or cable for your particular device (available from http://store.palm.com or 
just about any consumer electronics store)

2) Male-to-male 9-pin null modem cable or adapter

README.TXT - This file.

intv.prc - The Intellicart download program for Palm OS devices 
(OS > 3.3). Use this program to download games to the Intellicart. It 
is necessary to use 'bin2pdb' to first create Palm OS database files 
from the Intellivision ROM images. Usage instructions are built-in to 
the application. This program is Copyright 2001 Pixels Past. 

bin2pdb.exe - Program for Win9x/NT to convert Intellivision ROM image 
files (.BIN) to Palm OS database files (.PDB). The resultant .PDB files 
should be loaded onto the Palm OS device using the standard Palm install 
tools.

testrom.bin - A simple test program to verify that the Intellicart is 
working.

testrom.cfg - Configuration file for testrom.bin. This file provides 
information necessary to download and run testrom.bin on the Intellicart.
