Where are all the PUGs?

skoty @ 10/31/2001 10:01:58 AM #

I keep hearing about different Palm Users Groups in different parts of the country/world. How can I find out if there is one in my area? Is there some website that they all register at?

Thanks. That link might be worth puting up every time you mention an User Group.

Where are the Platinum cables?

I.M. Anonymous @ 10/31/2001 4:23:38 PM #

If you look at the Purple Data Cables catalog, they list a ton of possible connections for the Visor Solo, Deluxe, and Prism.

But it seems you basically can't connect anything to the Platinum?

Is there a difference in the serial connection on the Platinums?

The interface on the Platinum is the same as the earlier Visor models. If it's listed for a Solo or Deluxe, it will also work with a Platinum or a Prism.

Platinum and Prism use Palm OS 3.5 versus the older Palm 3.1 used in the Solo and Deluxe models, so some software settings will be different.

m500/505 cables? Ericsson?

I.M. Anonymous @ 10/31/2001 7:08:16 PM #

Rats, they don't have cables for m50x or Ericsson phones. Anyone know who does? I have an Ericsson T28. I'd love to be able to sync it with my m505, but it doesn't have IR or cables, grrrr....

Supplynet has T28 cables for iPAQ and Handspring. I Think they also have it for the M500/505.
Try http://www.thesupplynet.com.
