I'm not sure if the Sony works, you'll just have to try it out.  I've bee=
n=20
having issues getting the latest CVS version of pilot-link (about 3 weeks=
=20
ago) to configure and build, but I think that's my machine, since other=20
haven't seemed to have the same problem.  I'll get some time to look at t=
his=20
stuff in about a week, I'm just really busy right now though.  If you do =
get=20
the latest pilot-link to work, let me know what you did.
And to answer your question, Yes, the FreeBSD USB code has been merged=20
starting with 0.11.3.  If you've got anymore questions stop by the irc=20
channel #pilot-link on irc.pilot-link.org my handle is _Guhit.
