1.0 out of 5 stars Note - NOT FOR IMACS!, November 24, 1999

Pirate Jenny (Brookline, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: PalmOne Mac Serial Adapter (Personal Computers)

I should have paid more attention when ordering. This does not work on the iMac, it's not USB. I had to buy another one. Sigh.

5.0 out of 5 stars You need it if you have a Mac, July 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: PalmOne Mac Serial Adapter (Personal Computers)

What more is there to say -- you need it for a Mac, but the old ones work on the Palm V. What a break!

5.0 out of 5 stars Works just fine, January 8, 2001

Madam, I'm Adam (Bay Area, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: PalmOne Mac Serial Adapter (Personal Computers)

This adapter is great, it's cheap, and the Mac software is available FREE from palm.com. Unlike the USB to Palm adapter, this device is priced fairly (almost too cheap).

This adapter works perfectly with my PowerBook, I haven't had a problem with it, and you can't beat the price.

To those other people who rated this low: I don't think this adapter deserves a 1 star, just because some people ordered the wrong ones when they really wanted one for a USB based Mac. That's like saying you don't like Toyotas because you tried to buy a part from a Toyota store for your Honda.
