I have a Palm IIIc and I moved to a new apartment. Strangely enough the
Palm sync also stopped working with my RS-232 serial to USB adapter to
my laptop. Sometimes it would work partly and sometimes not at all. I
discovered that removing the DC supply to the sync cradle would take
care of the problem and it works every time. Must be a lot of
interference on the power lines here. :-(
