I like PalmOS 4.1 a LOT better than 3.5.
Try searching for this in Google:
Palm OS 4.1 -site:palm.com -site:palmone.com -site:palmos.com -site:palmsource.com
/dev/pilot is not supposed to exist. It does not exist on anyone's system out of the box. It depends on your individual device and connection setup, so you are supposed to make it yourself. Making a symbolic link named /dev/pilot to whatever serial device your Palm is or connects to on your computer is enough. If your Palm connects to your first serial port, you do this:
ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/pilot
You might need to change the ownership of that serial port so that you can have access to it.
Alternatively, you can often change the configuration of the program that you are using to use the serial device directly rather than /dev/pilot.

Situation- /dev/pilot does not exist
What I am trying to do- sync palm Vx with Evolution1.4 on fc2
Spec Palm Vx OS_3.5 after hard reset Serial cradle connected Evolution 1.4 never been synced before
What I have tried...after Googling and fedora archive-
1_ originally I thought it was permissions [root@blue root]# chmod 0666 /dev/pilot chmod: cannot access `/dev/pilot': No such file or directory
and
[root@blue root]# pilot-xfer -p /dev/pilot -l
The device /dev/pilot does not exist..
Possible solution:
mknod /dev/pilot c <major> <minor>
Unable to bind to port: /dev/pilot
Please use --help for more information
2_Well, I know ttyS0 and ttyS1 do exist...
[root@blue root]# setserial -g /dev/ttyS[0-4] /dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4 /dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3 /dev/ttyS2, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4 /dev/ttyS3, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 3 /dev/ttyS4, UART: unknown, Port: 0x0000, IRQ: 0
?Advice please.. Should I make a soft link between ttyS0 and /dev/pilot...?
or something with mknod? I did a man mknod, but do not understand what should be done.
