Hello all, Many have been following my attempts at getting Palm Desktop and Hotsync to work. I've tried setting up a COM port that points to the USB device generated by the visor kernel driver when you hit the button on the cradle. Unfortunately, there's a problem in GetCommState:
err:comm:GetCommState tcgetattr or ioctl error 'Invalid argument'
I'm not really sure if this is due to my use of the USB stuff, or if this would happen with a direct serial cradle. But, the good news is that it's trying to pick something up. My Dad has a serial cradle, but I don't know if he'd let me borrow it. Anyway, after the sync fails, wine goes crazy and dumps my registry. I've created a dump of all the output, but it's over 500K and is too big for the list. Anybody got any ideas on this stuff? If someone could try exactly what I did and report it, I would appreciate it. ;-)
Thanks a lot, James Liggett
P.S. If you do try to run Hotsync, set your win version to nt40 to get rid of complaints about missing comm drivers.
