Well, I tried it, and it worked like a champ!.  You MUST first have 
Palm HotSync Manager V. 3.0 or better installed (available on the 
included CD).  Then, you plug in the connector, and install the drivers 
from the CD.  

My Toshiba 8100 with Win98 wanted to associate the Palm USB cable driver 
with Com3 port, which was not an available option on the Hot Sync 
Manager.  While trying to figure out how to get the Manager to see Com3, 
or get one of the other Com ports attached to the USB cable driver, 
things just started to magically work.  It took a reboot, and then some 
time (I assume, as I made NO changes) before things sort of sorted 
themselves out.  

But it worked, no problems.  Just wanted to share that with Lindsay, and 
anyone else interested on the list.
