[Linux-disciples] handspring visor

[Karl Sokol]

I cannot get my visor to hotsync. Any suggestions?

I added the following line into my /etc/fstab.

none  /proc/bus/usb  usbdevfs  defaults  0  0

Then my commands were as follows:

mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0
mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1
mknod /dev/ttyUSB2 c 188 2
mknod /dev/ttyUSB3 c 188 3
chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB*
cd /dev
ln -s /dev/ttyUSB1 pilot
ln -s /dev/ttyUSB1 palm
/sbin/modprobe usb-uhci
/sbin/modprobe visor

cd ~
mkdir visorbackup
pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -b  visorbackup

“Which then replied...
   Listening to port: /dev/ttyUSB1

   Please press the HotSync button now...”

Pushing HotSync returns the error on my Visor:
“The connection between your handheld and the computer could not be established...”

I have done a hard-reset on my visor to no avail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
