Try creating the following file:
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-visor.rules
with this line for content:
BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="Palm Handheld*", KERNEL="ttyUSB*", SYMLINK="pilot"
richard@SEAMUS: /etc/udev/rules.d
Technically, this is supposed to be sufficient, but I couldn't make it work
unless I added this file as well:
/etc/udev/permissions.d/10-udev.permissions
with this line for content:
pilot*:root:usb:0666
