jimbemotumbo Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Just made a discovery that might be helpful to others: No need to buy the palm adapter from Dynojet, and you you can use a Sony PDA, and possibly others. Read on. I noticed that my Sony 665c (same as any 600 or 700 series Sony PDA) has a power/data adapter that is basically a mini USB "B" plug. This is the same USB cable used by most digital cameras. Just buy a $3 mini USB to mini USB (male to male) cable and you can plug your PDA into the PCIII mini usb port. If you have a digital camera, you may already have this cable. Sony doesn't support PDAs anymore, so they are remarkably cheap on ebay (I found several for around $5 USD). Other PDAs may work too. Just look for the data cable they use and if it works with a mini "B" plug, you are in business. Apologies if this is old news. I just get excited when I find stuff I already have can be used in a new way! Guzzi on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beauchemin Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Is the PDA used for storing a selection of maps, and then downloading to the PCIII? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbemotumbo Posted January 21, 2005 Author Share Posted January 21, 2005 Yes. I found a spare Sony 615c for a whopping $3.99 so I plan to hide it in the tail section. Just for fun. I'm sure nobody really needs to do this, but I am mentally ill and must be humored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
