Nothing at all. It's as if the synch cable were not plugged in -- tho the Palm responded to the button press.
Hmm. The phone store accidentally kept my synch cable, and when I went to pick it up they gave me a different one (it has no power connector, and the button is smaller). I'm about to try it with the old phone ... is there a trick to getting the Palm to behave as if it were a USB drive, so I could get the files off it? (Of course, having it synch would be better!)
Hmm, the PC beeped when the cable was plugged in. Perhaps a hot-sync will work after all ... more soon.
[Later] Severe joy in Mudville -- the wrong synch cable worked to get the old Treo connected, and it has now been synched to a brand new never-synched install of Palm Desktop 6.2.
Now I need to find the instructions that might be needed so I can synch the data now in the desktop software to the new device. It might be really easy, but doesn't the new device have a different name than the old one? (I've never set a name on the new one; it's pretty much fresh out of the box.) I fear that I might have only one chance to get this right. (Hmm, maybe it's time for an image backup of the PC, so I can try again.)
