My Palm has a cradle that connects to the modem or printer port, via a serial port adapter cable. My wife bought me my Palm with some sort of Mac accessories kit, which included the adapter cable. There are a trillion different models of Palm, and they have their own unique cables and connectors. Nonetheless, both my Palm IIIe and my wife's Palm IIIc can share it; the cradle also serves as a recharging station for the IIIc rechargeable battery (recommended). You can also connect via USB: http://205.141.210.149/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=38,E=000000000028644639 9,K=6324,Sxi=3,Case=obj(908) The Palm Mac support web page has some useful info: http://www.palm.com/support/macintosh/index.html The Palm Desktop software is a free (10 MB) download; it may also come on a CD when you buy your Palm.
