LCD USB ports may work a bit better for Palm synch
Authored by: hoeveler on Jun 02, '03 04:33:22PM

I cannot confirm about the LCD USB ports, but I just fixed my problem by switching the Palm USB-Serial adaptor from my Belkin USB hub to a USB port on my USB 2.0 PCI card (any internal USB connection would probably be the same). I use the Belkin USB hub in conjunction with a manual KVM switch to allow my PC and Mac to share the Palm cradle. It works OK with my PC, but the Mac has never had consistency in syncing.

But- as a footnote: if it is any consolation, my PC running XP seems to have needed me to switch the driver for the USB-Serial adaptor from the official "signed" Micro$oft driver to the "unsigned" Palm driver in order to work! If I left it with the "official" Microsoft driver, the whole computer would just reboot randomly! (And they say that you can't crash XP!!! HA!!)
