USB adapter for iBOOK [Posted on 2000-03-14]
I had to go through a "Mac" retail catalogue to find a USB adapter to connect the PALM Vx to my iBOOK. It would have been nice if 3Com offered one through AMAZON. Hope when I get delivery tomorrow it all works.

This adapter is great, it's cheap, and the Mac software is available FREE from palm.com. Unlike the USB to Palm adapter, this device is priced fairly (almost too cheap). This adapter works perfectly with my PowerBook, I haven't had a problem with it, and you can't beat the price. To those other people who rated this low: I don't think this adapter deserves a 1 star, just because some people ordered the wrong ones when they really wanted one for a USB based Mac. That's like saying you don't like Toyotas because you tried to buy a part from a Toyota store for your Honda.
Good Choice [Posted on 2001-08-29]
I had recently purchased a serial to USB adapter from another company, which failed miserably. After returning it to the store and losing 7 bucks for "repackaging", I decided to get the Palm one, which I am glad that I did. My first adapter btw, cost almost double that I got here at Amazon. Installation and set up were a snap. I would however make the disclaimer DELETE THE PALM SOFTWARE THAT CAME ON YOUR MAC, there were a couple of glitches that I encountered until I did this. I wiped out all the files from the pre-installed software and ran what came with the adapter. Problem Solved! I guess there was application conflict when the two were set up at the same time. I am not sorry for having made the purchase.

Be aware this will not work with newer Macs that utilize USB, even though they have an available printer or modem port.
