IMHO the 95LX serial port is no more or
less 'stnadard' than that on the
200LX.
The 95LX has a 4 pin serial connector (just the data lines and gorunds).
It is at RS232 levels, the serial cable is just a cable, no internal
electronics (and it's the same cable as for the 48 series of calculators).
The port wiring is not less of a standard than the 200LX, but I recall
there's a bug in the serial port hardware on the 95LX that prevents a
lot of software from working with it properly. (I was bummed at the
time that Telix wouldn't run on it.) It has been awhile, so I may be
misremembering this.
