Comments on: News that Got Lost in the Shuffle
MochaSoft, the maker of the excellent Mocha W32 PPP, has released Mocha W32 Keyboard which allows users to use a PC keyboard and mouse to enter data into a Palm or Visor that is in the cradle. A copy of the PDA's screen is shown on the Windows PC. It is $10 shareware.

Battery Drain Fix
http://www.conklinsystems.com/pilot/drainfix.shtml
I've talked to Terence Conklin, owner of that site, a few times in the last couple of days and he is determined to keep this page as up to date as possible. If you are aware of any issues related to this battery drain problem that aren't covered on his page, please let Mr. Conklin know.

RE: Syncable Solutions' No Drain Adapter
I've confirmed that my standard NoDrain adapter does not work with MochaPPP. However, I'm now offering a modified version which will work (I've already tested it)The new version "NoDrain-M" is $6.95 + $2 S/H
I highly recommend that people who like to keep their non-rechargeable Palms in the cradle get one of these, or something like it. You'll be surprised how much longer your batteries last.

Mocha Keyboard
I do have one word of warning. If you are a hard core Palm user, you might be aware of the infamous Palm Cradle Battery Drain. This is the 'feature' where non-rechargeable Palms (like the IIIe, IIIxe, V, etc.) actually have their batteries drained while they are sitting in the cradle, whether the Palm is on or not. Well, there is a hardware fix for this that involves disconnecting the offending wire. If you have done this, Mocha Keyboard and Mocha PPP will not work for you. I found this out the hard way, in an experience I call "How I learned to Solder in One Painful Lesson". Anyway, this means that you have the convenience of entering data into your Palm quickly and easily, at the cost of draining your batteries more quickly.
