| My old PC has been in the closet since VPC 5. I have not enjoyed the PC platform while video editing, so I'd rather use the Mac there anyway. Also, I can "Purpose" on the same platform I create on. Games? OK, they bite-a-bit on the Mac. The only minus has been USB support for Palms within Virtual PC. There isn't any. | ||

Everything but the Clie

Couple of corrections -- you CAN sync Palm OS devices, including Clies, through Virtual PC. I've done so with native USB devices (e.g. Palm m500) as well as through USB <-> serial adapters (e.g. PalmConnect).
Additionally, the latest PalmDesktop (version 4.0) reported supports many Sony Clie models directly. Have you tried your Clie with PalmDesktop 4.0, under Mac OS 9 and/or Mac OS X?

Everything but the Clie -- Good News!

The good news is that there's a terrific third-party solution for the Sony Clie on a Mac: The Missing Sync from Mark/Space. And better yet, they just posted a Mac OS X preview. I've used the OS 9 version, and it works flawlessly.
I have the same problems, that I can not sync my clie NZ 90 with virtual pc 5.0 (Windows 98 / Outlook 2000). Even when I disable the hotsync manager on my Mac (OS 10.2.6) the sync doesn't work. I can see the Sony handheld in both the system settings / devices and the virtual pc usb settings. But it doesn't work. What do you mean saying "set up the sync process as you normally would on the PC"? Shall I use USB- or Com-Ports and if Com-Ports, which baud-ratings and other settings do I need.
So please help a little German idiot. I was trying every setting you could imagine, I think.
Best wishes from Germany
