Glad it's working for you, John. My Tangerine iBook experience (w/
System 9.1) has been a LOT less successful. I've had two of these cables
now. Both of them will sync at 19.2k, but otherwise don't work. I don't
know if this could be a problem with my USB port on my iBook, or if I
could have gotten two bad cables, but I've tried just about everything
-- reinstalling the system software, making sure all of my firmware is
up to date, testing the USB port with a USB zip (works fine), testing
other cradles (works the same), starting with a new data file (same
problem). The only other thing I can imagine is that the data file is
having a problem, and that I ought to export and re-import it. But since
I've tried a new data file and still can't get it to work, I don't know
if it'll help.

If anyone out there has an idea, I'm open.
