I don't use mandrake, I have a T21, and I have a Clie.  But I have it
working.

You didn't mention what you have, or what you have tried.  Does the 600
have USB?

I have a combo USB/Serial sync cable.  I can use USB alone to sync with
Evolution or JPilot.  I can sync via the serial connection with my
venerable copy of VMware Express (running Windows 98 within it - Express
came out before support for USB ports in virtual machines).

The Clie (and an earlier Visor) uses ttyUSB0 & ttyUSB1, but syncs on
ttyUSB1 - that's what to set for USB.  For serial, set whatever serial
port you are connecting the cable on.

So what do you do, and what happens, and what doesn't happen?  Have you
read the Visor HowTo?
