I have a Fujitsu laptop and Pictor416. (Unfortunately I dont have LX200.)
I used Pictor416 via RS232. (Now I use it via SCSI.)
Because the RS232C performance is same other laptops, it will work with
LX200.
You should check BIOS settings and IRQ conflicts. COM1 must be enable. If
IRQ conflicts, you should make Infrared port (or sound device) disable.



Fujitsu "Lifebook" isnt sold in Japan. In Japan it is called "Biblo".
And keyboard is different. But I think RS232C is same.
