Sony Clie PEG UX50 on Serial?

[oliven_99]

Hey,

Any of you guys know of a way to connect the Sony Clie PEG UX50 to an NT4 machine using Serial? I have just got one for the missus, (sounded like a great trade at the time) but can't find a serial connector.

My Office machines are NT4 and as a result PC Support are reluctant to unlock the USB Ports on the machines as it is not a known MS fix.

I spoke to the guy in the SONY shop who was as useful as a piece of cheese as he told me that PC's nowadays rarely come with Serial ports!!

I have also just bought an XDA II (which by the way comes with a serial cradle as an optional extra!!)

Any help would be most appreciated,

Thanks

Neil.

1) buy a serial cable (eg from carsten kurz @ www.gpskabel.de). Carsten Kurz

2) do not use sonys palm desktop, as this is a crippled version without serial drivers. Download the software from palm.com instead and it will work

It did for me
