Hey,

Palm makes a Serial to USB Dongle that you stick at the end of the cradle like the one you are using to attach to your serial mac. They retail for about 20 bucks, but I found one on clearence at Staples for $9! Although, I didn't test it yet, so I don't know WHY it was on clearence

enjoy!

The USB adapter is the most reliable method I have used. Those third party devices are just a mess.
I always use protection when fscking my Mac... Do you?
