I'll assume you don't already know this but the Sony Clie is not natively
compatible with the Mac despite the fact it runs palm OS. It will not work
with the palm mac-pac or any native palm connection or software. There is,
however, a shareware program whose name escapes me which will allow you to
interface a mac with the clie. You might try going to
http://www.versiontracker.com and typing in Sony Clie to find it. According
to previous forum notes I've read, this was sony's decision not to support
the Mac platform. The good news is that the shareware program is a program
and group of drivers that reportedly work quite well. It's an additional
shareware charge but users of the Clie and mac platform seem very happy with
this solution.

If you can't find the program, post a reply and I'll try to dig up the
source for you.
