      Palm IIIx w/hotsync cradle for sale.

      It looks just like this one:

      Monochrome screen w/backlight
      ~4Mb memory (I think)
      Good shape and completely functional.

      Download the instruction manual in pdf format

      Hot-sync software for download available for free here

      I have used both Plucker/Spinner and Cachemate with this unit and they both work well.

      Requires a computer with an RS-232 serial port (9-pin) in order to hot-sync.

      Milwaukee area, or I will bring it to our WGA campout.

      Asking $40

        Awwww….. come on…..

        This is the IDEAL Palm / PDA for paperless caching.

        The monochrome screen looks gorgeous in direct sunlight, and for dark / night situations it has a built-in backlight.

        It also runs on AAA batteries. I have been running this one on recharagable Ni-MH batteries, but you could use Alkaline ones as well. This is important, because when you are out on a long day of caching, and the batteries run low, they can be easily replaced. You don’t have to find a charger / outlet to keep using it. I have to re-charge the Ni-MH batteries in it about once a month. (More often with frequent backlight use)

        Here is an image of the ACTUAL unit I am selling:

        You can see it runs Cachemate just fine and it is in GREAT shape.

        Make me an offer.
        If need be, I can ship it (USPS or UPS).
