I ran up to Office Depot yesterday to snag a shiney new color palm only
to find the accessories havn't shipped yet. So I'm stuck with no
regular serial connect and no windows boxes for the past three years to
sync with. I toiled with the instructions for getting a handspring to
sync for a couple of hours last night and I'm not making it very far due
to my limited understanding of usb.
The visor howto (http://milosch.net/visor/howto.phtml) mentions that you
need to initiate the the sync from the palm side first for it to then
bond to the visor driver. I can't seem to interpret the output from
messages and syslog to know what port it is supposed to be on. It seems
to hop around as far as the messages are concerned. One time port 2,
another port 5, t hen port 3. I've tried, what I thought, is the
corresponding dev entries /dev/ttyUSB0-5 with no luck. pilot-sync and
jpilot both tell me the device is not there.

crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 188, 1 May 2 17:27 /dev/ttyUSB1
Does anyone know if the visor will 'speak' a completely different
language than the palm? I was hoping I could simply use the usb port
like a faster rs232serial connection w/o anything fancy.
If there is a better list or newsgroup I should be asking please point
me in that direction.

pressing sync on the craddle:
May 3 17:51:38 tachyon kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2, assigned
device number 2
May 3 17:51:38 tachyon kernel: Manufacturer: Palm, Inc.
May 3 17:51:38 tachyon kernel: Product: Palm Handheld
==> syslog <==
May 3 17:51:38 tachyon kernel: usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x830/0x2) is not
claimed by any active driver.
Says it's not claimed by any active driver so I assume the visor module
won't work. Any idea how i could use it as a straight serial connect?
Thanks a ton,
