You need a SCSI Disk cable (if you look in the PowerBook end of such a cable there will be no blank pin spots). A regular SCSI cable won't work. >2) IR Port.

It is not of much use. I got it to "talk" to my Wallstreet but it is S L O W! Don't know the protocol for the Palm. Most likely not the same. Have you visited Palm.com and checked their tech archive?
