Hello,

I own a Jornada 680. I'm trying to get it to sync up with my new laptop,
which uses Vista. The Q & A I attached references an older version of the
PPC OS, but I essentially have the same question: Will my version of the PPC
work with Vista. Here is the information from my Jornada:
Microsoft Windows CE, Handheld PC Edition Version 3.01:
Core System Version 2.11
Pocket Internet Explorer Version 3.01
Pocket Outlook Versiona 3.01

If these two programs ARE compatable, my next question would be how to get
my computer to recognize that the Jornada is ready to be sync'd.

Thanks

Wrong group. This is for Portable Media Centers, a defunct product that
should have been what turned into Zunes.

But anyway, No, nothing you can do. Just as older Windows OSs required
ActiveSync to sync a PPC, Vista requires a thing called Windows Mobile
Device Center. WMDC only syncs back to PPC2003. You unfortunately are
blessed with an original PPC OS, circa 2000. AS doesn't work on Vista and
WMDC doesn't support the Jornada. Sorry, but that's the way it is.

Essentially the same answer. The handheld OS, which actually predates the
first PPC OS I mentioned below, also isn't supported by WMDC. The 680 was a
nice device though...actually still is as a standalone unit. You'd have to
dig up a PC running XP or earlier, and snag a copy of ActiveSync 3.8 or
earlier.
