Under OS/2 it is limited to a serial port and I was never very successful 
at getting that to complete transfers.

There is an OS/2-eCS version of Pilot -Link that supports USB linked Palms. 
  I've used it with my Garmin iQue 3600.  Though I never used it for more 
then backing up my PDA and never to synch to anything.

  Some more on Pilot-Lin, though of older vintage than the USB version, can 
be found at http://www.stellarcom.org/palmstuff/
