Re: m130 USB connection

[Mario Camou <mcamou@mail.com>]

Hi,

One of the weird things with many PalmOS USB devices, is that the device itself appears on the USB bus only during the HotSync operation itself. Try pressing HotSync and checking the contents of /proc/bus/usb while the Palm is trying to sync.

The device you want is /dev/ttyUSB1 (ttyUSB0 is reserved for something or other, I don't remember. ttyUSB1 is the HotSync port). You can create a softlink from /dev/pilot to /dev/ttyUSB1.

Hope this helps,
