Will Treo650 work w/W95 over IR like 600 did?

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

The problem with Palm and Win95/98 is the lack of USB support in the older
OS's. If you could sync the 600 via IR, you should be able to do the same
with the 650. Check the discussion forum at www.treocentral.com for more
help.
