Yes, it is a speacial cable, the palm doesnt really have to sncy to the computer, this is if you transfer notes, appointments from the pc to the palm, also the palm does have an sd slot which I believe you can access information that way as well. Thanks for your interest. Cables probaly around 2-5 dollars on ebay.
i was going to bid on it but when checking on ebay i found brand new items of this type for as little as $.pp. I think I will bid on them thanks anyway
