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.

From what I can see, it requires appearance manager and 7.5.3 at least. My 68K mac needs to stay on 7.1 due to accelerator drivers.  Was looking at getting a palm pilot until I read about Palm Desktop requirements.

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!

Have you looked at the contents of the second archive in this link? Not sure what "other Psion Mac software" covers.

Good thought on the Psion.  They're era-appropriate and also really nice little machines.

Not sure what "other Psion Mac software" covers.

That archive has Psion Link in it, which IIRC works from 6.something up...
