I just finished the second attempt to synchronize my PalmPilot with my
Mac OS 10.5 device. The Palm is actually the PalmPilot Personal updated
to Palm III level (thus it has OS 3.0.0) and the Mac is the Apple
PowerBook G4 (@1.67 GHz) with the OS 10.5.8.
This time I used the PalmConnect USB/Serial adapter. I bought it
because I expected there will be a CD with drivers. But in the kit
there was none. But the PalmDesktop 4.2.1 requires no addition drives,
just several reboots and re-connections of the USB adapter. And, of
course, the PalmConnect (and only the PalmConnect) has to be enabled in
the Hotsync Manager.
Then it just work.
But this is the Apple so at least something has to be strange. And it
is. During the first sync I noticed a text "Updating system to
3.0.2...". There were no questions of options - it simply decided to
update OS on my Palm and did the update! Fortunately, the Palm work
even after this update.
In other news, the Git on the SDF seems to work again...
