OS X Palm sync

pda
I get a Palm Vx serial sync cable from Yahoo auction, though it can't work on OS X, and hopefully it can work on Linux, but I found out there is a driver for OS X.

The usb serial Palm sync cable is using and cheap and common chipset(should be pl-2303) manufacture by taiwan manufacturer, prolific, which can download from the website.

I get it work with Palm Desktop (4.2x) on OS X, but may be there is some problem with the driver, a simple data sync will take 15 to 45 minutes. The driver name under OSX is /dev/tty.usbserial.
