Here's a Palm V with The Bridge installed on a Palm III HotSync cradle. Click picture for a larger image.

Black, like the Palm V cradle, the Palm V Bridge comes in very handy for me. I've already added--and filled--two additional serial ports on my PC, and don't have enough interrupts for more. A small desk and large monitor don't leave me enough space for a switch box, so the Palm V Bridge has been getting quite a workout in my house. Note that the Palm V Bridge won't fit on the Palm V cradle or accessories, and is not able to charge your Palm V from older cradles. Caution: this means you still have to make sure you have your original Palm V cradle, and that you use it periodically to charge your unit. Remember to check your battery level regularly.

Go on and take it to The Bridge
With The Bridge, you won't have to struggle with IRQs, Plug and Play, and the like. You won't need to plug in multiple cradles or buy all-new accessories if you trade up from earlier models to the Palm V. You will save yourself time, money, and aggravation with this handy adapter. Go on and take it to The Bridge!
