I got the process going all up to the point when trying to backup and sync using jpilot and pilot-xfer. The problems : - For some reason, jpilot is having trouble reading AddressDB, ToDoDB and MemoDB off my palm. It can read DateBookDB no problem. If I tried syncing, the process will go thru and jpilot will sync only DateBook's but not the other 3 apps' database. Same thing when doing backup. I set both jpilot and palm to communicate at 9600bps. - For pilot-xfer, pretty much the same problem, when I tried doing "% pilot-xfer -p /dev/pilot -b $HOME/palm_backup", the process will go thru, it reported succeeded in reading the RAM from Palm, and Palm itself reported success in synchronizing but...afterwards, $HOME/palm_backup is still EMPTY. pilot-xfer just didn't bother to report any error. I used jpilot version 0.99.4, and pilot-link is 0.11.7. I can install applications on the palm using jpilot no problem, just can't make a full backup of my data on it. I have also tried coldsync, and gpilot, coldsync simply didn't work for I/O error, gpilot just coredumped repeatedly. I followed the instructions on www.geekhome.net/palm.html to set up my USB port and kernel. Here's my setup : in kernel config file : device uhci device usb device ucom device uvisor in etc/usbd.conf : device "Palm Handheld" devname "ucom0" vendor 0x0830 product 0x0040 release 0x0100 initialized the unit with username and id using "% install-user -p...". in /dev : crw-rw-rw- 1 uucp dialer 138, 128 Feb 15 20:59 ucom crw-rw-rw- 1 uucp dialer 138, 128 Feb 16 05:53 ucom0 when "hotsync" button is pushed : ucom0: Palm, Inc. Palm Handheld, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 3 Anyone has better experience, and any idea what I'm missing here ? _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
