>Description:
The uvisor driver is not reliable enough to use for sync'ing
one's PalmOS device.
Fetching a single DB often works, but when doing a full
hot-sync, jpilot complains about not being able to fetch
the Saved Preferences database, and pilot-link complains
about bad packets.
The same Visor in a serial cradle works fine.
>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to use a PalmOS device in a USB cradle with NetBSD
(in my case, a Handspring Visor Edge).
