Clie and Visor on same computer?

Hi all,

*** This has been mistakenly posted in the NR-series forums so sorry if it's redundant for some of you.***

At work I've been tasked with migrating an executive's system of using
an M105 to a new Clie (don't know which model). Now, both he and his
secretary have a cradle. The secretary also has a cradle for her other
boss' Visor. As of now, both the Visor and M105 sync to Outlook on her
PC via Intellisync where she maintains both boss' calendars and
contacts. OK. Having been through this myself (switched from Vx to
NR70), is it absolutely necessary to completely uninstall the existing
Palm desktop and install the Sony distribution? I mean, is there a way
I can force the Sony USB drivers onto the computers so we don't have
to do the desktop tango? I want to minimize my possibility for error
by eliminating some steps and if I uninstall the Palm desktop, well,
there go the 3rd party conduits as well. It's just a pain to set all
that up again if I really don't have to.

So...

1) Is there a way to force the Sony USB drivers onto a computer and
have hotsync and all your current settings (3rd party conduits, etc)
remain intact?

2) Does anyone have experience running a Visor and Clie on the same
system?

3) What problems should I expect running both Visor and Sony devices?

4) If I am required to remove Palm desktop, which one do I reinstall
first on the secretary's machine (remember, hers is the one with both
Visor and Clie cradles) - the Visor desktop, or the Sony version?

Thanks for any and all input,

At home, I run a Clie T665 and N610 and a Handspring Solo and Neo on the same system. I use the latest Palm Desktop and have had no problems. Each device is a different user.

I don't use any special software or try to synchronize schedules however, so can't help with that.

I used both at T665 and Visor Platinum on Palm Desktop. In fact that's how I switched all my contacts from the Sony to the Handspring so my wife would have them.

I hot sync a T665c and two Visor Prisms on my computer at work. When the T665 was purchased (and upgrade from a M505) I just plugged in the cradle and hot synced. No problems so far. *crossing fingers*. I did not install the clie desktop.
