In a similar vein, I have been trying (in vain) to find a Mac Serial to PC/AT Serial (9-pin D-sub) adapter. I need to be able to sync my Palm m125 with my Wallstreet PowerBook (I know, post this on G-Books) but it would be just as necessary for someone with a Beige G3. If anyone could email me off list if they have a line on this item, that would be swell.
