KPiolt Help

[Jordan Macdonald]

Situation: I own a Palm IIIc, which I have been HotSyncing with my Windows computer. This Pilot was damaged recently, and now the touchscreen is cracked, rendering it impossible to enter my password to use or HotSync it. I am now purchasing a new Palm IIIc which will be delivered to me in a few days. However, before it arrives I will be moving to University, leaving behind the Windows computer and taking my Linux laptop.

Issue 1: I know it is possible, when a Palm has been replaced or suffered a Hard Reset, to HotSync back all the files, redering the (new|post-reset) Palm identical to the (old|pre-reset) one. Is this posible using a Windows configuaration folder and KPilot HotSync software? If so, how?

Issue 2: The laptop lacks a serial port. Does KPilot support HotSyncing using an internal IR port? Does it support an external, USB IR port? If it does, how do I use them?

P.S. Is their any way, Windows or Kpilot, to enter the password from the computer side of the HotSync? If their was, I could simply HotSync my existing Pilot with KPilot, thus solving Issue 1.

Depends on what is in there. If you have a bunch of .pdb files, yes.

IR is basically serial, so if you can get *that* to work under Linux (it did
in 2001 or so but I haven't tried since then) it should be OK.

Unfortunately, no. The hotsync *has* to be started on the HH side, usually by
pressing the button on the cradle.
