This place works :)
The Visor driver will not claim the device, as it doesn't know about
Palm.
You might want to try changing the lines in visor.h from:
#define HANDSPRING_VENDOR_ID 0x082d
#define HANDSPRING_VISOR_ID 0x0100
to:
#define HANDSPRING_VENDOR_ID 0x0830
#define HANDSPRING_VISOR_ID 0x0002
recompile it, and see if that works out.
