Hi Darrell:

Thanks for the tips. I followed them (as well as the tutorial), but
am still unable to synchronize my Newton to my Palm Desktop. Here's
more detail, if Darrell or anyone has further suggestions:

The Palm file I want to synchronize with is 363K.
I dramatically upped memory on the following apps:
Palm Desktop
        sugg 3500K
        min 20000K
        pref 400000K (not a typo)
NCU
        sugg 4000K
        min 40000K
        pref 800000K
COrgAE2
        sugg 1024K
        min 20000K
        pref 400000K

The exciting new error message I now get when starting synchronize
from my iMac says:
Unrecoverable error--insufficient memory to proceed.

I even tried to sync just one thing (eg, Dates, Names, etc.) at a
time, and it still failed due to insufficient memory. I'm running OS
9.2.2 on a 333mhz iMac with 96 MB of memory.

I'm sort of staggered that I could up the memory allocation this
amount and this is still failing. I must be doing something
else wrong, right? Any further suggestions or guidance would be most
welcome.

Thanks,
Jeff
