[P1] Palm III to iBook

[Paul Bernhardt]

My experience using my Palm IIIe with the Keyspan serial to USB 
converter and serial cradle is it works, but kinda marginally. I have 
to futz with it each time to finally have it synch up. But it does work 
with patience and persistence. I will soon-ish buy a new Palm with USB 
direct connector to my iBook. Palm did make USB cradles for my series 
Palm (the IIIe). I don't know about the specific model you have.
