Visor hint and a plea for hacker help.
Authored by: kerim on Mar 29, '02 08:15:49AM
(1) If you have a visor, try removing the file: Installer 3.5.3, from your Applications/Palm/Palm Upgrades/ folder. MacFixit reports that this works for most Visor users. (But be careful as it is still discouraged by Handspring.) (2) The default conduits for Palm Desktop strip extra ASCII information which is essential for Chinese characters. For the old version there were some hacks available to fix this. With version 4 there is a "Japanese localized version", which doesn't do this - but it is in Japanese. (I hate companies which assume that only monolingual native speakers will want multilanguage functionality!) Does anyone know how to get the Japanese conduits to work with the English desktop software? Or of any other similar hacks that might work? There are a surprising number of people on the chinese-mac e-mail list who are interested in this information! Thank you!

Hi this is about point (1):
I have bougth recently a Visor Pro, and I want to know if the palm descktop can play with it and if I have to do some trick in order to be able to use them as a team.

I will apreciate your help.

By the way, I already downloaded the software and I will install it in a Powerbook Titanium.
