Hello, > > The m5xx should work fine with the comms/birda port. > > Well, I could never get it to work, the laptop and Palm never connected. > Do you have config files for your setup? I just installed the birda-0.8 and pilot-link-0.9.5_3 packages from the ports collection, enabled the IRDA port in my BIOS, created the ptyq* devices using "./MAKEDEV pty1" because I didn't have them, and followed the suggestion on the irs manual page: irs -c -e -y /dev/ptyqf & pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyqf -b backup-dir Then I installed jpilot to handle sync operations. Should note here though that I couldn't get a sync to work if I had my PDA password protected. Seems that there is no support for whatever Sony/Palm do with the password on a hotsync operation. Also, see my previous email about possible incompatibility in the protocol for the Palm 5xx devices... I'll see if I can dig out the reference sometime...
