It sounds like you have it down somewhat. I am running a PC PowerCenter 150, 130 mb ram, 8.6 My question is how does the palm pilot physically connect to the desktop mac? I have USB (2 ports), SCSI port, ethernet, 10/100. Do I need to purchase special software also? Thanks for any relevent information you can forward to me.
