I tried this, but am still having no luck syncing either through Jpilot interface or directly at console using pilot-xfer. When I hit the hotsync button on my Zire, I get: ucom0: PalmOne, Inc. Palm Handheld, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 2 ucom0: PalmOne, Inc. Palm Handheld, rev 1.00/1.10, addr 2 I then type: # pilot-xfer -p /dev/cuaU0 -b backup and I get: Listening to port: /dev/cuaU0 Please press teh HotSync button now.... then *nothing* either I cancel on my zire, or it times out, and my dmesg output: ucom0: ucomreadcb: IOERROR ucom0: at uhub1 port2 (addr 2) disconnected All threads purged from cuaU0 All threads purged from ttyU0 ucom0: detached Of cource if I try to "pilot-xfer" the same command above *before* hitting hotsync on the zire, I get: The device /dev/cuaU0 does not exist.. Possible solution: mkdnod /dev/cuaU0 c Unable to bind to port: /dev/cuaU0 I'm doing all of this as *root* right now, just to get this working before I tackle the usual permissions issues that crop up when I do this as my regular user. For laughs and giggles, I also tried all of this with /dev/ttyU0 as well, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Thanks for any help. -DW
