Standard Keyspan instructions, Nelson. I feel a little confusion brewing here. You're not using a Keyspan serial to usb adapter in conjunction with your pda cradle, are you? These Palm sync cradles usually have a DB-9 serial connector used to connect to a windows machine. The Palm serial to usb adapter does not require any drivers.
The Keyspan serial to usb adapter is a DIN-8 to usb adapter requiring drivers to function. Most of the time it is used to connect older serial printers to a usb port. I'm easily confused at this hour.
