I’m running WinXP and run Palm OS4.1 (for sony clie) from the master drive. I want to mount a slave drive in my system that has palm OS5 for a palm tungsten. I want to do as little monkey business as possible. Will both palm software packages function setting things up this way? Will both the clie and tungsten hot sync properly?
