Re: Syncing Palm IIIx via USB-to-serial cable
Not being an expert at all, I have noticed something about Belkin
USB-to-serial converters in the kernel configuration:
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_BELKIN: (From menuconfig: Device Drivers -> USB Support ->
USB Serial converter support).
There are also some other interesting options there.
Have you tried that already?
Regards, Anders Breindahl.
