Marta, Sorry to be late with this.
I have a handspring visor which I sync with palm desktop on my ibook. I don't have two handhelds but it seems to me if you give both of them the same name and the name is the same as the name on the desktop software, that palm desktop wouldn't know the difference. Of course, before you sync the second unit to the desktop make sure it is a clean slate. I have not tried this, but it seems to me it should work. Harry P.S. Be sure to duplicate the palm data files before you sync. That way if there is a goof up you can restore everything easily.
