Can SPTerm be used with a USB Connection to the PDA?

Unfortunatly, no. SPTerm is made for a serial connection only. It would be easy to do a USB connection on the Palm with PalmOS. However, doing so with Microsoft Windows is MUCH more difficult. It would involve writting an SPTerm-specific USB driver that would plug into Windows. This is something that I do not wish to do right now. If you wish to use SPTerm, you will need to get a serial cable for your PDA to connect to your computer. If you want to do a USB transfer, you will need to use PalmDOC-formatted files or a Memory Card (if your PDA is capable). This process and naming convention is described in the Readme.pdf file under version 1.8.5 and in this FAQ. You can also read the PDF online by clicking here.
