Are you sure it wrote over the old files? Palm and Sony use diferent folders from each other. Sony always defaults to x:\Program Files\Sony Handheld\, x= is your local hard drive. Palm is x:\Program Files\Palm\, or something like that. Once you install the Sony, the desktop will not look at the old folders again.

Please next time don't use all caps, Thanks!

The Sony desktop is perfectly happy hotsyncing to standard Palm devices, including the older serial ones. I've done that with a HandEra 330. However, since it is installed in a different location as N2IFP pointed out, it "looses" all of the old data.
