Like most Palm OS devices, the m505 shares the UART with both the serial cradle and IR ports; only one can be active at a time. >I either need a way to convert IR to hardwire serial, or, if necessary, a cradle >which supports USB and RS-232 simultaneously. Not sure this is possible either, due to the way the port detection logic works, but it's worth a try. You'll need a custom cable with both serial and USB connections to start. Good luck!
