Guess I will have to make my own cable.  No way will I permit a poorly 
designed cable from Sharp to force me to abandon my serial port and 
sacrifice my cf port to replace it!

Might it be possible to shave some excess rubber off the Sharp 
cable to create room for the keyboard to open?

Anyone aware of a source of the connector?  Or it is proprietary?
