    I tried unsuccessfully to use my palm IIIc with Parallels in the WIN XP Guest OS. I installed the XP drivers from the Belkin website following their instructions, then when I plugged in the Belkin adapter, then passed it to the OS, Windows crashed (very hard) and I got a blue screen from Windows stating that "Windows has detected a problem and is shutting down to protect your system..." (that is all I can read before the screen goes away)

    The system then restarted and got stuck in a loop (as soon as it detected the USB adapter) it would crash and kept rebooting.

    I restored my Win XP Parallels image from back-up so I am OK - but it looks like it is a no go for using the Palm (this is the only thing keeping me from listing my PC laptop on eBay and using the Mac exclusively :( )

    Anyone have any suggestions?
