Hi folks, I'm having lots of trouble syncing my Palm V to my new, fast computer (ASUS A8N-SLI MoBo, amd 380+ dual-core cpu). Usually I use a serial-to-usb adaptor to connect my serial-out cradle to my computer, but I'm beginning to think there's some hardware problem with the adaptor (the data it sends tends to crash the usb modules). SO I want to hook up directly via the serial port. On my laptop this method seems to work (e.g., pilot-link -p /dev/ttyS0 -l is successful). However on my new desktop I get no data coming out of /dev/ttyS0 (cat /dev/ttyS0 produces no output). The serial setup on this board is wierd -- I have to plug a serial adaptor into a spot on the mainboard, and attach it to one of the slots in the case. I wonder whetherthere's any wayto test whether it's attached correctly? THe /dev/ttyS0 device is created and gives no errors when I try to cat it (unlike /dev/tty/S1+), but again, no data comes through when I attach the palm pilot & press hotsync.
thanks for any advice you got! matt -------------------------- .''`. Matt Price : :' : Debian User `. `'` & hemi-geek `- -------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
