This is a followup, for the archives, on a thread from August 2002:

With the kind help of the OP, here are the steps to make
the visor connect to jpilot, pilot-xfer and friends, over USB:

Compile your kernel with these in the USB section:
# USB com devices
device          uvisor
device          ucom

there's inconclusive evidence you want to make sure ohci is
*not* in there.

cd /dev && sh MAKEDEV ucom0

Now, here's the tricky part:

FWIW, it only seems to work with uhci hardware.
