Re: Getting Handspring Pilot Setup
Ok yet another problem with getting my Visor to sync. had it working
and then I had to change to kernel 2.4.18 to get the new Nvidia video
card to work. But now my visor will not sync anymore. One thins when I
compiled the new kernel it added /dev/usb which has ttyUSB* so now I
have two sets of these. One was made using the Perl code below and are
in /dev/ttyUSB*. How do I tell which set is being used. I can look at
/var/log/kern.log and see the visor is detected connecting to the driver
but it will not sync. Any ideas?
