Got a nice 200LX

[Dave Britten]

Hmm, I know it can communicate with a 48 via IR - I've used my 200LX to make backups of my 48 in the past. But it sounds like the 50g uses a different IR protocol and won't communicate directly with either the 48 or the 200LX.

In regards to the poor screen contrast, have you tried adjusting it? Hold the On key and press + or -. The contrast on my 200LX isn't too different from my 50g.
