I encountered no problems at all with both of these devices. The fit was excellent. After mounting the devices and performing the necessary setup, I was able to use it without any hiccups at all. The feeling is just like using a hardware add-on that is meant for the native Palm III handheld. The best thing is that the Palmdock does not require any software for interfacing between the handheld and the hardware .
Installation is a breeze too.
I ve just dismembered Palmdock using a x head screwdriver and adding the other 2 contactors fairly easy in less than 2 mins. Here s a message from the vendor, explaining the rationale for not including all the pins. Early on we made the decision not to enable the other pins by default since some of them are powered and expose voltage to the more open Palm III connector style. If you want to enable pins 2 and 7 yourself for activating the HotSync button on some accessories, use the Additional Pin Kit available on the order page. We have done further testing and the number of Palmdock V and DockV TM units with Additional Pin Kits installed is substantial.
