It is plugged into one of the three USB ports on the back of the iMac. > Once > connected, you may want to check to see if the Apple System Profiler > detects > the device. Ah, there's the (first) rub. Under Devices and Volumes, System Profiler shows the keyboard with the mouse branching off from it. One mystery item shows up as a "USB device" ... but that device must be the printer since the printer prints. The results are the same whether the Palm cradle with adapter is plugged in or not. > If not, go find a different adapter. And that's the (second) rub. The PalmConnect USB-serial adapter seems to have been discontinued, as it no longer appears on the Palm store website at all. The I-Concepts adapter (suggested with a shrug and a "maybe?" by the Apple rep at CompUSA) was the only one I could find in an afternoon of driving all over town. The people at Circuit City and Best Buy were not optimistic about getting any (Palm brand or otherwise) in. I'm just about ready to give up and rebuild my Win98 box for the sole purpose of backing up the PDA (is that nuts or what?)... Unless you have other ideas? Thanks for your help, Ward.
