Bill, Bud ....Aloha ... I've been running a Palm m505 with a PC 150 (upgraded w/xlr8 G3/400, 512 mb RAM, and an Orangelink USB/Firewire card) for about 18 months. The cradle I have just started to act up but it has been on the system using one of the USB ports on the Orangelink card without any problems. Last night it wouldn't synch so I have to disciover what's up, but I'm sure it's relatively simple. The only software you'll need should be with the Palm when you purchase, just follow the directions closely and all should be fine.
