Aceeca developed 64bit drivers and posted at brighthand telling everybody they can use them. I tried the driver out today on our two week old 64bit 7 desktop. It worked great. I ran the TX setup disk and ignored the driver did not install warning. I stopped before the first hotsync and went into device manager. There was a yellow triangle next to palm. I right clicked hit properties chose driver tab and selected browse for driver. Found the driver I had downloaded selected it windows installed it. I exited out of all windows except the palm setup and plugged in the usb cord and hotsynced. It worked Post 130 has the link. http://forum.brighthand.com/pdas-ha...net-pda-13.html

Edit: Found a working data cable (the expandable one I had only charged it, no data), and it isn't working for my T\|X. Wow. I unplugged and then replugged it back in. It's working! I even have a working sync (in progress)! And it sure beats trying to do a sync over bluetooth. Especially with a 2GB SD card installed! Thank you Thank you Thank you!

A newer post today post 135 stated they are working on a solution for Linux. Wyrenut over at the palm forum posted a sticky with well organized instructions and the trouble shooter. http://forums.palm.com/t5/Windows-H...orp/td-p/337516

Linux kernel includes drivers.

The short of it is you basically need three things: 1) Kernel support (Enable CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_VISOR for any non-ancient PalmOS device that syncs over USB, or you can set up Bluetooth/Infrared or good ol' RS232 serial - Linux can sync via any of these, but Serial and USB are the easiest to get running) 2) pilot-link (Sets up sync conduits) 3) A PIM like JPilot, KPilot (KDE), GnomePilot etc. to hold all the data I did get it working, but atm I'm still sync'ing my TH55 with my Win98SE box so I don't know what the current 'state of the art' is Here's an old article from bookmarks: http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/43399

Desktop 6.22 should not be your first choice on windows 7 64bit. The disk that came with your device or one of the version 4. desktop software is a better choice.

Go into device manager and look for the clie with a yellow triangle next to it. If one is not there. Try doing it during a hotsync attempt. You need the devise showing up when you attempt to load the other driver.

I am guessing it has to do with which desktop software they were designed for. A poster over at Aceeca forum complained after loading the driver he was able to hotsync but could not get contacts and some other basic functions to work. 6.22 has less function than the setup disk software that comes with many devices. So it is still best to use the original software. It is fully functional and a smaller file. Here is info on Access Garnett devices and smartphones. http://www.access-company.com/produ.../handhelds.html http://www.access-company.com/produ...martphones.html Last edited by reb2 : 04-19-2011 at 05:56 PM.

There rich aunt purchased them a really nice replacement with windows 7. Last edited by reb2 : 04-19-2011 at 05:54 PM.
