You have to get the palm desktop software. Add it to the list. It will automatically download.

Palm - Support - Palm Desktop & HotSync Manager

Just did it with my Palm IIIc last week worked like a charm. Get it hooked up so you can see some logs.

stupid question run or save??

 

[kris_stewart10]

nevermind i got it

 

[kris_stewart10]

its not working i have all of the stuff downloaded but it just isnt working troubleshoot???

 

[kris_stewart10]

ha i got it to work you have to download mmcd

then you have to get the palm desktop thing

then you have to hotsync your palm

then you have to click on the mmcd file and then open it and it will add it to the hotsync list then you are good to go

well hotsync once more after that hope this helps and thanks to all that have helped me i am going to go start logging now

you bought a usb to serial connection right? ### if you did you must install the driver for that it should have come with a cd you might get lucky and find it online if you didnt get one or lost it

 

[kris_stewart10]

yea and i found it online it was a dynex

 

[jram53]

so you got it up and working? good to hear
