Handspring Visor and J-Pilot

[Tony Hacche]

Douglas,

I also tried to get my Visor working with J-Pilot and couldn't even manage
the first stage of getting pilot-link working. I found some documentation
(can't remember where) about using ucom devices instead of usb ones and
whilst I managed to get the system to recognise the Visor when I hit the
HotSync button, pilot-link refused to see the device. I'm relatively
inexperienced w.r.t. FreeBSD but a colleague with years of use of FreeBSD
couldn't get it to work either. In the end I decided to increase the vintage
of my OS to v4.8 ;o)
