re: palmpilot III and ibm thinkpad 760xl



I just got a Palm Pilot Professional two days ago. Last night I got pilot-link
running, no problems whatsoever, hardly read the README. Managed to install some
drawing programs, and the getrom program, and downloaded my ROM, and got the
xcopilot emulator running. Now I use it to test programs before I install them.

I never even bothered to boot down to NT or 95 to try the CDROM that came with
the Pilot.

I compiled all the tools. I use Debian 2.0. I have a PS/2 mouse, and don't have
a modem, so my serial ports are free.

The README suggested to "cd /dev ; ln ttyS0 pilot" to create a "/dev/pilot"
device for convenience. I found pilot-xfer was looking for "/dev/pilot" even
when I specified the serial port. That is, it was ignoring that command line
option. So do that and try "pilot-xfer -l".

So... when is Debian packaging Linux for Palm Pilot?  ;-)
