Last uvisor(4) revision was not merged in BETA3 so you will have to wait for the merge or directly grab it from http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/sys/dev/usb/serial/uvisor.c?rev=1.12;content-type=text%2Fplain;only_with_tag=HEAD replace you src/sys/dev/usb/serial/uvisor.c with that one and rebuild your module/kernel Then if you plug your device and launch Hotsync on the Palm a /dev/cuaU0 device should appear. You should check that. If you have jpilot installed, palm/pilot-link tools are installed (be sure it was compiled with USB support), so once the /dev/cuaU0 device node is created you can type: # pilot-xfer -p /dev/cuaU0 -l this should list the installed files on your device, # pilot-xfer -p /dev/cuaU0 -b your_backup_dir to backup your palm on your PC. If these commands worked, then jpilot should work as well. -- Marc
