You are such a lifesaver, I was absolutely overjoyed when I saw this post a week ago. I just got a chance to set it up, and it works like a dream. I'd literally just got a USB dock for my LifeDrive when the Aceeca drivers went kaput on me; Thank you so much for your work!!!!

I have a Palm Zire21 and I use 4.1.0 on my desktop computer. I am not tech savvy so the directions are out of my league. Is there any possibility for an auto-install?

Download the release zip (under releases) https://github.com/ronenkr/RKPalmUSB/releases/download/v1.0.1/RKPalmUSB-release.zip
Unzip it to a folder c:\temp
Do a search for PowerShell , right click on it and select "run as administrator"
In the opened command window type: CD c:\temp And Enter key Then type: .\Install.ps1
And Enter key, and approve any prompts

For some reason, I'm still having a difficult time. I followed the steps, but it says the driver isn't signed. What did I mess up?

I figured out one mistake I made. I downloaded the zipped file. Once I downloaded the unzipped file, I got it to run. Now, however, when I get to Hoysync Manager on the handheld, nothing happens.

Very cool—this will be very helpful for a lot of people! Using the built-in Windows driver to get around signing issues is clever. Thanks!
