| 228952 | 2004-04-13 09:52:00 | Hi all, I've just tried to install my Palm Pilot on my new laptop. I had to get a 9 to 25 pin serial plug adapter for my hotsync cable. I installed the software but when I try and do a hotsync it says the com port is unavailable. When I installed to my PC I had no trouble at all. Any ideas? Thanks Dave |

| 228954 | 2004-04-13 10:32:00 | Since when do modern laptops come with 25 pin Serial Ports, I have to ask . Unfortunately new laptops don't often have a Serial Port at all . A 25 pin Parallel Port, yes, but that will not work for a PalmPilot . Is that what you are trying to use I wonder? |
