Sorry about that. I recently went on a shopping marathon with my brother to
help him pick out a PDA. With all the different makes and models they semm
to have blended into one in my brain.

The most obvious candidate would be to look in your /home directory for a
directory .Intellisync which might be a hidden file or directory. But
since you do not have a separate partition for the I'm sure your old files
got wiped out on your new install. Or maybe you used the
MultiSynk/kitchensync combo to syncing your computer with your PDA.

Have you reinstalled your sync program? Maybe you can install the old
version that came with previous version of Suse. Or you might want to
install the new 10.0 source and compile them. Are you sure that your USB
ports are working properly?

Sorry I can't be more specific, but I don't have any toys like that to play
around with.
