Putting Visor on computer

Is there a way to interface my Visor with the computer so that the Visor screen is mirrored on the computer using the hotsync cradle so I can do a presentation. My budget does not allow the purchase of a presenter-to-go and I don't think my school would clear a $300 springboard for a one time presentation. So I need a cheaper alternative. I've looked into a Palm OS emulator but I can't figure out how to get the ROM images from the net they keep wanting me to sign up for a developer's program or something. Any information on how to do a presentation like this would be appreciated as even though my technology teacher has told me to talk to the IBM lab assistant I don't think s/he will know what to do.

I don't think there is any program that will do that, no.

Just sign up as a developer. It doesn't cost anything, you just give them an e-mail address and other info (name, address, etc., you can be as truthful as you want, I suppose. I wasn't) and if you live in the U.S., they e-mail you a username/password to get onto the site to download the ROMs. It's not very involved.

You can use the instructions in this thread to download the Visor ROM with a USB cradle.

Thank you, you are a new type of god truely worthy of my worship. Anyways I'd personally perfer a Margi Presenter-to-go but since its out of my price range this should do fine.

I've had a great experience with Presenter to Go and would advise you to seek out the funds to get it or wait til it gets discounted somewhere. I tried some of the other options and couldn't come up with anything quite so slick. Maybe you could share the expense with another department or teacher.
