Any PDA's/Palmtops that can connect to a classic 68K Mac?

Are there any PDA's or Palmtops (excluding the Apple Newton) that can connect via serial to a 68K macintosh? Trying to get a companion and organizer for my retro projects, that I can use when I'm way from the SE. The idea is to syncronize documents between it and the SE itself.

The Atari Portfolio could be coaxed to run with a special mac cable and software for System 6.

Before Palm Desktop, early Palm OS machines used to run a sync program called Pilot desktop, I suspect that might be for System 7.1 and below.

I think System 7.1 was current when the original Newton was released, but I don't know the exact requirements of the Connection Kit.

It'd certainly be the most appropriate, but might be hard to find at a sane price...

edit - haha, sorry, didn't see you'd already dismissed the idea!
