Gene, I have an M125 which should be the same as the 130, except the 130 has 
color (IIRC).  I had to buy a separate serial-palm cable at a PDA store to 
connect the palm to the cube.

One problem with it I've had, if the 130 has the same connector as the M125, 
the connector retention to the Palm is HORRIBLE.  I've been searching for a 
way to keep the two connected without much luck.  The best I've found is an 
extra-long and extra strength rubber band wrapping from the connector to the 
top of the palm.

Of course I'm doing this on a shifter kart and it's a pain to stuff the palm 
into the carrying pouch after setting 'autostart' without disconnecting the 
cable.  I believe it would be easier if you were putting it into a glovebox or 
center console.

Otherwise it has worked with no software problems.

Hope that helps.
