Tungsten W <--> Linux
=====================

I wished to  synchronise my Palm Tungsten W with  my Linux desktop (the
SGI IRIX is out of game here  because it was no USB). My Blackbird with
Fedora 30 does not work but the  GPD Pocket with Ubuntu 18.04 (sort of)
works.

I tried many  trick described on the Internet like  writing udev rules.
But it seems that  the only way to make it work is  to load the "visor"
module ("modprobe visor") and do not touch the udev. Then it worked but
I woas only able  to access the /devttyYSB0 as a  root (with sudo). The
device only  appears in the system  when the Hotsync is  active so it's
hard to  change access  rights for  this USB0  (this si  probably place
where some udev rule  has to help but it does nothing  at best). And it
only worked  od the Ubuntu.  In the Fedora  the visor module  is loaded
without errors but the  USB0 nor the USB1 was created  (I think that it
has nothing with ppl64le platform, it's just Fedora).

Anyway, the Tungsten W is a bit special - it has color a screen and the
USB but  the older Motorola  DragonBall CPU (m68k)  and thus it  has OS
4.x. The  ARM-base Palms  run the  OS 5.x and  reportedly have  no such
problems (at least my wife's Palm T|X works without such tricks).

So I have to use my Palm III machines because they just works ;-)
