Two ancient PDAs from the 90s!

    Just for the nostalgia of it, I bought a Sharp Wizard OZ-9500 and a Sharp Zaurus ZR-3000. These devices are older than dirt. The Zaurus comes with a data cable that hooks up to an RS-232 port (remember those?) and floppy disks for syncing with Win95!

    Now obviously, I don't have a Win95 computer anymore. My current computer is Win7 and has only USB ports. What I'm basically wondering is, is there any way at all to connect these devices to it, some kind of adapter I could get? Would Win7 even have drivers for devices this old?

    Barring that, is there some kind of WLAN expansion card I could get that would allow these PDAs to connect to my wifi hotspot?

    Thanks.
