I have an early iMac with Ir (Rev A). Is it even possible to sync with a Visor? And what software will this require? Of course I can use usb, but is that my only option?

Yes, it can be done and it works great. You'll need IrLink from www.iscomplete.com, and also an updated driver that's available on the palm website. IrLink is still in beta; the current beta expires on Jan 16 but I'm told that a final version will be available by then for $20. TI imagine they'll still e-mail you the beta if you ask.
