Dear List,
I am new to the List & new to this problem. I have a young man who rents a room from me & I am getting ready to install a router so I can network his Mac & mine to the same Modem connection. He has a G3 7600 and a Palm, a 3XE. We tried to install the software for it to his Mac & it was "no-go". No wonder, he was trying to feed an "orange" to an Apple! It was an EXE Windows CD & he had put it in the CD bay before I saw the label. It does say that this particular Palm is compatible with Mac, but did not include the software. But then, my son-in-law informed me that although a Palm is compatible with a Mac, that his Palm is obselete and will not operate on the later Mac OSs (He has OS 9) & that he should get a Palm in the 500 series to use with OS9.
Nonsense!
My question is this: Since this young man who rents a room from me, can't afford to spend a lot, what would be a fair price for, lets say a Palm 505, on lem or eBay?
What is needed is the latest Palm Desktop for Mac and likely, a newer Palm OS for the IIIxe.
I believe you still have to pay for Palm OS's after 3.3, but it's like $20.00 or so.
The thing to do is download the Desktop for Mac and HotSync manager from the palm.com website.
These are, to the best of my knowledge, free downloads.
I use a Palm Pilot Pro and a Palm IIIx with OS 8.6 and have no problems with them. A Palm with OS 3.3 and appropriate Mac-side software should work OK.
