I have a Powerbook (G3 400 Mhz Pismo) running Mac Os 9.0.4 with 384 MB of RAM, and a Power Mac G3/350 (B&W) with 704 MB of Ram running Mac OS 9.2.2. I have Virtual PC on both machines (Win 98 version) I have a Win CE handheld that has a sync cable with a serial connection termination. If I buy a serial-to-USB adapter, can I sync thru Virtual PC's Win 98 to get my info into my Mac? Pocket Mac has software to try to do the job, but HP Jornada's are not yet fully supported. HP is cancelling the Jornada line after its merger with Compaq. Can I sync this way, or is a different way better or available? Thank you for any help you can give!

The Jornada 52X will NOT work with VPC because its data cannot be sent through USB, even with an adapter. I belive that the Jornada 56X are now supported by PocketMac. www. pocketmac.net I am selling a 525 because they are not compatible.
It I want your opinion, I'll beat it out of you.
