USB Support would be dandy, for those of us with
Visors, etc. Cool idea, keep up the good work.

    USB support is much more difficult and because (just like
    PCI), vendor and device IDs are hardcoded in the Palm, I
    think that there is no way to make the USB Driver think that
    the Palm is a tablet.

    Impossible: An USB palm will always be seen as a Palm over USB.
    To be seen as something else, the palm would need configurable USB identifiers.
    These identifiers are are coded in the palm, AFAIK.

    I want USB support too. I've got a Palm m500 which is, after
    all, a somewhat old palm and it's USB.

    To bad that USB has device and vendor ID hardcoded...
    Makes getting the com-port hotsync cable tempting.

    Hmmm... perhaps a custumized driver would make the whole
    thing work? No, on second thougt, that would _definetly_
    work. It would of course mean a lot more work, but it's just a
    thought.

    OS5 support would be great as well.

    This is possible! Check out the public beta of Card Export 2
    (http://www.softick.com).

    While it didn't work on my computer, Windows did detect a
    "USB Mass Storage device" instead of a "Palm Handheld." So it
    can be done.
