Bought a used Palm V. Downloaded Palm 4.1 software from website but
it doesn't work with the v3.1 Operating System on the Palm V. Anyone
no where I can get the upgrade program other than a flea market as
Palm suggests:)

Thanks

I'm no expert, but the latest thing I ever found for PalmV was OS3.3.

But I DO have some advice. Ditch the PalmV. At least, don't spend any
money on it.
It's a dead-end product. Different I/O connector that won't fit ANY
other Palms. The package is just enough different in size that the
case accessories for the 500 series won't fit.

If you can use it like it is, great. Don't put much effort into trying
to make it better.

Bought it to read e-books with while on the bus. Don't need quality
or quantity just a way to get the ebooks onto the Palm V.
