Drivers for Targus USB Palm charging/synching cable System
I had purchased a couple of brands of Palm/USB cables (including the Targus cable) that allow charging and synching without the cradle. I had OS 9 drivers (which were a bit flakey), but had not seen OS X drivers until now. I searched VersionTracker for something, but no listing. However, after some more digging, I found the OS X drivers (and another version of the cable) on this page. They work well for me, and save travelling with the cradle.

I'm perplexed by the need for drivers. I have a BoxWave hotsync/charging cable, and it doesn't need any. Try http://www.boxwave.com/.

Interesting. This cable uses the Prolific Technology PL-2303 USB to Serial Bridge Controller (http://www.prolific.com.tw/). I have a USB-serial adapter and a cable for my Sprint phone->USB that both use this chip. You can look here for the most current version of the driver (search on "2303"): http://tech.prolific.com.tw/visitor/v_fileBrw.asp

Pretty sure it's the Palm V/Vx line (specifically) that need the drivers.
I just bought this one for my Treo:

...and no drivers are needed apparently.
