    |  Serial Hotsync Cable for Treo 650 All: I have some old Palm software that requires a serial hotsync cable. It is for diagnosing the check engine light on my vehicle. It is great software, however it requires a serial hot sync cable not only to talk to the car, but to hotsync and install the software. Does anyone know of a serial hotsync cable for our devices and can you provide me with information or a link? Thanks in advance.

| Thank you Jeff. It appears the Karbon one is Out of Stock and the PN one is $65. Gonna have to think a little harder about this. Thanks.

| I wish. I asked and they said no. I am going to try my USB sync cable with some gender changers and a USB-->RS232 adapter. We'll see tonight. Thank for the help.

| Alright. Before I drop the coin on a $65 hotsync cable, I would like to exhaust my options and I want to make sure the errors I am getting are not caused by the user. In other words I want to make sure the setup I am trying now is absolutely not going to work before I move to purchasing an expensive cable. I am trying some adapters and gender changers to convert my USB sync cable to 9-pin Serial. So far it has not been working for me, but I am not sure of the settings. I have it on Local now and pointed to the Comm port. I am getting the following error message. Quote:

| The problem I see, Larry, is that your diagnostic software will be looking for a comm port. I'm not aware of any software to route USB traffic to a virtual comm port, like you can do with Bluetooth.

| Just an update. After more extensive searching, I found this. I ordered it this morning and will report back on whether it works. $25 cheaper than the PN Tech cable, so that was nice.
