Can I use a Y-mouse connector to connect mimio and a PalmPilot to the same port?
No. A Y-mouse connector allows you to connect 2 devices that use a similar driver. For example, you could connect a mouse and a tablet because they both use a pointing device driver. Because mimio and PalmPilot use dramatically different drivers, you would not be able to share one COM port using a Y-mouse serial connector. You can however, use a serial port switch box to alternate between the two devices. But you must reconfigure the PalmPilot HotSync Manager so that the COM port is released when the PalmPilot is not the active device. (Please refer to the information on reconfiguring a PalmPilot.) If a switch box is not available or something you would like to work with, another option would be to purchase and install another I/O (Input/Output) controller in your PC. The I/O controller will physically provide you with another serial port.
