Sorry for a little misinformation I spread with my last message. The
driver you have to use is uvisor (not ucom) which in turn presents you
a device ucom0.

Sure, here we go:
Sep 27 16:06:55 piglet /kernel: ucom0: Palm, Inc. Palm Handheld, rev
1.00/1.00, addr 3

It is important that you don't let the ugen driver get the device.
This means you either should load uvisor (kldload uvisor) prior to
pressing the sync button (for e.g. in /etc/rc.local) or you should
configure usbd to load the driver (which means the first sync will
fail - or at least I don't know how to do it ;).

Put the following lines in /etc/usbd.conf for the second approach:
device "Palm m125"
   vendor  0x830
   product 0x0040
   release 0x0100
   attach "if ! kldstat -n uvisor > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then kldload uvisor; fi"

The m130 may have an other product id so check this with "usbdevs -v"
and alter the above accordingly.

Hope this helps a little bit more than my last message obviously did.
;-)


Sincerely yours, Hank
