Hi,

I've always had a love for Palm Pilots (I used a Palm V for years for work, and I still miss it); I'd like to pick up the last Palm Pilot that came with a serial connector/docking station and run Palm Desktop 4.x on a 68K or PPC running a Classic OS (most likely a TAM with OS 9.1).

I suspect it might be the Palm OS 4.x-based "M" series (eg. M500, M515), they all came with USB docking stations but you could get a serial cable for it.

I'd consider a later Palm OS 5.x-based Tungsten, but I can't seem to find any information if it works with Palm Desktop 4/Classic OS, and it's definitely USB only.

Thanks

JB
