I could not get my Palm Vx to sync via the PalmConnect USB kit (aka serial-USB adapter) with my PowerMac 733. After trying many different cominations I discovered a few things: 1. The Palm will never sync when it is connected to my USB hub- the Mac does not even see it when it is connected to my NewPoint hub, 2. The cradle needs to be connected to the first (left most) USB port and the USB hub needs to be connected to secondUSB port, and 3. if I leave the palm plugged in and put the computer to sleep, when I wake the computer up the Palm will not be recognized.
So to insure a sync I leave the Palm cradle unplugged at all times, I only plug it in when I am about to do a sync. After I sync I immediately unplug the cradle. I have been able to sync without failure using this method. ( I use a USB extension cable so that I do not have to reach around to unplug everytime.)
