Honestly? I dropped the Visor into its cradle, hit the hotsync button and
it Just Worked. Yes, I'm saying that I synch under Classic. It shocked the
hell out of me because it's the only USB device I have that works under
Classic (my USB card reader doesn't....)
It occurs to me, though, that the key may be that the Visor is a pure USB
device, unlike the Palm serial retrofit.
PalmConnect either came with the latest Palm desktop, or it was one version
later. I'd swear, though, that I read about the PC update here in a
discussion long ago about synching problems.

I can say that it works for me. Every time.
