I know of a program called TheMissingSync, but all that does is add USB
drivers for the Clie. It is compatible with the palm 2.6.x versions of
Palm Desktop for the Mac and I've even read reports of Mac X users
getting it to Sync with the new 4.0 without even having TheMissingSync
installed. Just seems strange that the serial connection doesn't work...

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. -Chet
