I don't really have too many ideas on this subject... :(
One things thing that I've seen work is to use DebugPrefs.prc (one of the
links below) to force serial debugging so that the system doesn't rely on
polling the UP button to determine which port to open.

Subject: Re: 1 pc development with 2 handheld?
Thanks Mike for your respons.
I did try pressing and holding "UP" key when I initiated "the shortcut dot
dot 2". It did not work. I have 2 handspring. Prism is not a problem
since I have in different machine using USB port. I have another visor (the
cheapest one with 2 Meg Memory), which using serial port. This one has a
problem joining my symbol unit. Do you have any other idea/suggestion?
Thanks again,
S Santoso
