two PDAs in one computer

I know that this question has probably been asked ten million times, but I couldn't find one here after a search. To boost our weak economy, I have been buying stocks and purchasing stuff. One of those things that I'm purchasing is a HandEra 330. My plans are to use this with the same computer that currently hotsyncs with my Visor Prism (I love my Prism, but the HandEra fills in certain critical areas that I'm really missing out on, like voice recording). I have the USB cradle for the Prism, and I'll be using a serial cradle with the HandEra.

Now, I know that I can't use the same Palm Desktop to organize both PDAs (can I??), but I want to try to somehow manage it so that certain critical pieces of data (like my password app database) stay synchronized between PDAs. What is the best way that I can go about doing this? Any suggestions would be welcome.

I don't know about syncing info between two PDAs (which I am looking forward to seeing as I now live in a 2 Visor household), but as to the Palm Desktop question, I am using Handspring's version of Palm Desktop to sync Symbol SPT 1500 & 1700's, and it works just fine. From this I would think that your HandEra would sync just fine with any version of Palm Desktop.

If you want both PDAs to contain the same stuff, then just use the same hotsync ID on both of them.

I have two Visors syncing on my home computer (my Platinum and my wife's Edge). Both PDAs have different Hotsync IDs, so data doesn't mix. I beam stuff to her, she beams stuff to me.
