I have found a method that enables Wrist PDA to sync with Palm Desktop 2.6.3 (OS8.6-9) or 4.1 (OS9) on classic macOS. (MissingSync 4.0.4 or later supports Fossil wrist PDA, but it does not work on OS9.)

The following is the method for PalmDesktop 2.6.3; edit "USB Palm" file in the Extensions folder with hex editor.

0x00005D63: 08 ->0E
0x00005D64: 30 ->67

(Vendor ID(VID) of Palm=0x0830;
Vendor ID(VID) of Fossil=0x0E67; Product ID(PID) of wrist PDA=0x0002)

For PalmDesktop 4.1, patch the "USB Palm" just in the same way.

0x00034B2D: 08->0E
0x00034B2E: 30->67

If you use 4.0J (Japanese latest version), make a patch as follows:

0x0000E7A9: 08 ->0E
0x0000E7AA: 30 ->67
