Works with Classic
Authored by: mhollis on Jan 27, '02 08:12:11PM

Palm, Inc. released a beta of their desktop for OS X. In their release notes, they state that it does not work when Classic is running. I note that it works just fine when Classic is in sleep mode and I generally have that set to sleep in 5 minutes.

You can download the application at http://www.palm.com/macintosh/publicbeta/

The site seems to be faster these days (I tried it and stopped the download before completion).

I have noted a few cosmetic problems with the application only -- it seems to be a very stable beta program. I had previously used it successfully with a IIIc and I am presently using it with an m505.

I would mention that the newer Palm Pilots seem to be much faster with a hot-sync than the older versions. The IIIc took up to four minutes for a full backup. The m505 just takes a few seconds. Also the newer versions come with an USB cradle that does not need an adapter.
