Hi Craig,
The HotSync interrupt interrupts the DragonBall processor directly - with no
involvement
from the virtual serial driver. The virtual serial driver has full access
to the OS, so it could
set the System prefs to launch a "preferred" app when the HotSync interrupt
happens.
As far as I know, there is no way to mask this interrupt.
