The bad news: The Palm III (depends on which palm III you got...there were several) came with version 3.0 of the ROM's, which didn't natively support networking through the I/R port (this includes hotsyncing)).
The good news: You can upgrade the flash roms on these devices all the way up to 4.1 with Palm's OS upgrade. (Not a bad idea, actually). I don't use a Mac for development, can't help you there. Why should you pre-apologise for a perfectly legitimate question? -Ken On Fri, 2003-02-07 at 18:35, K wrote: > I am primarily using a Mac laptop (has an IR port) > and was recently given a Palm III.
