Default Dell X50 - does it have a serial port?

Would anybody know if Dell X50 (or X50v) have a serial port to connect with
a logger?

Thanks.

Andy

Yes, it has a serial port, no it is not an RS232 signal (it uses 3.3V
logic signals), so it needs some sort of powered serial cable or
external powered level converter. If one is planning on using a CF/SDIO
card GPS, Bluetooth GPS, or one of the mouse-style GPS receivers that
has the option of connecting to a CMOS/TTL serial port, a Dell is a fine
deal. If you want to connect to a flight computer, approved flight
recorder, handheld GPS, etc., life is a lot simpler with an iPAQ...
