yes thanks, that loads cleanly

Still can't get it happening though :( The story so far....

I boot system - Palm sitting in cradle turned off and then press the HotSync 
button in cradle: A message appears on Palm: "Connecting with the desktop 
using needles"

"needles" is configured thus: "Connect to: PC, Via: Cradle/Cable, Speed: 
9,600bps, Flow Ctl: Automatic"

I find the following output in dmesg:
via_audio: ignoring drain playback error -11
hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2, assigned device number 2
usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x830/0x50) is not claimed by any active 
driver.
usb.c: registered new driver serial
usbserial.c: USB Serial support registered for Generic
usbserial.c: USB Serial Driver core v1.4
usbserial.c: USB Serial support registered for Handspring Visor
usbserial.c: USB Serial support registered for Palm 4.0

visor.c: Palm 4.0: port 1, is for HotSync use and is bound to ttyUSB0
usbserial.c: Palm 4.0 converter now attached to ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0 for 
devfs)
usbserial.c: Palm 4.0 converter now attached to ttyUSB1 (or usb/tts/1 for 
devfs)

usbserial.c: USB Serial support registered for Sony Clié 4.0
visor.c: USB HandSpring Visor, Palm m50x, Sony Clié driver v1.5

I now run the pilot-xfer command thus:
#pilot-xfer /dev/ttyUSB0 -b backup-dir
  Port: /dev/ttyUSB0


  Please press the HotSync button now...

I now masterfully do nothing - after some time a message in appears on the 
Palm: "The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could 
not be established. Please check the setup and try again."

I find the following output in dmesg:
usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 1819
usb.c: USB disconnect on device 2
usbserial.c: Palm 4.0 converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0
usbserial.c: Palm 4.0 converter now disconnected from ttyUSB1

Please any more clues on how to get my HotSync happening?

thanks,
