The keyspan serial > usb adaptor works great for me..

They're not too much money and they're readily available from most retailers. 🙂

or get the palm usb adapter (i don't recall its actual name) it works much the same as the keyspan. But I found it more relieable on my tibook back when i used my palm.

The Palm connect doohickeydongletachment is all over eBay for $8.99, and I have had good luck with OSX and it.

Haven't tested 9, don't really intend to see 9 ever again...

thx !

Thanks for suggestions. I was under the impression that the Palm adaptors were only for the most recent palm models.

Nipsy what the heck are you talking about on ebay at $8.99 ?
