I am very happy about your progress. I started feeling really bad about this. For the record - I did see differences between the connection reliability of different palms connected to the same usb cable. Tungsten T3 was more problematic than Tungsten T and m130. But the problems are occasional, not systematic or as frequent as yours. I am also pretty sure it's a (partly) physical problem of the connection, not (only) a software one. There is no point in doing Ctrl-Z. If you want to shoot - shoot, don't talk. Ctrl-C. I did not thoroughly read all your tests and results. I do have two points to make, some of them I already said in earlier posts. 1. There is no magic in /dev/pilot. The hotplug scripts choose the device they think is the right one and make /dev/pilot a link to it. It's very possible that they are wrong - as I said, it took me a lot of work to automatically make only the above 3 devices work, and the hotplug scripts intend to support theoretically all the devices. So, when you return to playing with this, do the following: connect the device/cable/hub etc. Press hotsync. Then try pilot-xfer or whatever with /dev/ttyUSB[0123] directly, not /dev/pilot. Each time try another one. I am pretty sure one (and probably only one) will work, and will work all the time. 2. The behaviour you describe is definitely different from what I see here (with all 3 devices) - none of them cause the creation of any /dev/ttyUSB device on connection, and all cause creation of 2 devices (0 and 1 if it's the only device connected) when pressing hotsync in the palm. They differ in which of the two devices actually work. I never tried connecting through a hub, as far as I recall. I do not think a hub should matter, assuming it's otherwise working well.
