Maximiliano :

Si te refieres a un 3Com Palm III organizer , ademas de poder usar el Palm
Desktop 3.0 Software, puedes usar el MScomm32.ocx que es el control de
comunicaciones por el puerto serial.

Podrias por ejemplo hacer lo siguiente :

1) Crear un nuevo Proyecto
2) Agregar al formulario, un boton un label y un mscomm32
3) En el form Load :

Private Sub Form_Load()
MSComm1.CommPort = 1
MSComm1.Settings = "9600,N,8,1"
MSComm1.RThreshold = 1
MSComm1.InputLen = 0
MSComm1.PortOpen = True
End Sub

4) En el Form_Activate :

Private Sub Form_Activate()
Dim Str As String
Str = ""
otro:
Do
DoEvents
Loop Until MSComm1.InBufferCount <> 0
Str = MSComm1.Input
label1 = label1 + Str
GoTo otro
End Sub

Con eso debes poder, ver lo que llega del puerto, si se te dificulta ademas
puedes ver con el Hyperterminal que es un accesorio de Windows.

PalmT Desktop Software Compatibility With Windows 98

Will my Palm Desktop 3.0 software work with Microsoft Windows 98?
Yes. Although compatibility testing of the Palm Desktop 3.0 software on
Microsoft Windows 98 has not yet been fully completed, preliminary results
indicate no major compatibility problems.

There are two known problems at this time:

Dialog boxes related to HotSync® operations do not pop up and appear on top
of the Palm Desktop window. It is easier to perform HotSync configuration by
closing the Palm Desktop window, then selecting the HotSync icon in the
Windows System Tray at the lower right hand corner of your screen. You will
then find a pop-up menu identical to the HotSync menu found in your Palm
Desktop software.
The Windows 95 installation process of the Palm Desktop 3.0 software
automatically detects the COM ports that are available for use with the
cradle or HotSync cable. When installing Palm Desktop 3.0 on a Windows 98
system, you will need to know which COM port you will be using for the
cradle and configure it manually. For help configuring your PC's COM ports,
see the HelpNote titled "Managing Your COM Ports"
Will my Pilot Desktop 1.0 or PalmPilotT Desktop 2.0 software work with
Windows 98?

Compatibility testing of earlier Palm organizer software has not yet been
completed, however we recommend that you upgrade your current version of the
Desktop software to Palm Desktop 3.0. See the Palm Desktop 3.0 Software page
for more details.
