Short answer:  no.  These messages tell you about your scsi disk.
"sr" is generally used instead of "sd" for removable media, although some of
the messages below seem to indicate that /dev/sda might be a removable drive
on your system (?)...
So if I guess that you have a real scsi bus on your system, am I right?
I suppose it could be a ZIP disk, some of these came with their own scsi
controller (ie, the non-parallel-interfaced ones) which might get mapped to
sda.
Maybe you could send along the contents of /proc/bus/usb/devices when your
palm is connected; I think this is the same info provided by 'usbview'
although that is a GUI program.

regards,

   Ben
