Re: [PilotMgr] UPDATE 2: Syncing a Palm with a SunRay using PilotManager

[Darren Keverne <darren.keverne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Andy,


Do you know if we can use the USB connector that you can get to plug the palm
into a Mac (or similar) rather than having to go and buy a full serial to
USB adaptor???


Thanks,

Darren
