StuffIt Matters if you START with 8.0
Authored by: wcattey on Feb 04, '04 05:24:57PM

Mine is one of those cleanly installed Panther systems
that refuses to sync. I have tried EVERYTHING, and I have
this additional information to offer:

I extracted PalmDesktopMac41E.sit
with both StuffIt 8.0.2 and StuffIt 7.0.3.

The resulting Palm\ Desktop\ Installer hierarchies are BIT FOR BIT IDENTICAL.

I believe that 8.0.2 matters if you have StuffIt 8, but not StuffIt 7

I have two iMac systems, a 15 inch that is a year old, and a 17 inch that is a couple months old.

The 15 and 17 inch models place their USB ports in different places, so I believe the Logic board on the two are SIGNIFCANTLY different.

BOTH systems were, "Erase the disk and install MacOS 10.3" systems. Both were then updated to 10.3.2.

Using my PalmVx and the SAME Palm-branded USB serial cable, the OLD iMac WILL sync. The NEW iMac will NOT sync.

I believe that copying in libraries from 10.2 is not necessarily an issue.

I am now trying to figure out how to run tests the idea that it's the vintage of the USB on the logic board that matters.
