Hi,

I searched but could not find documentation on usb.handmap. The file seems simple enough but the existing entries are only for keyboard ("keybdev"), joysticks ("joydev"), etc. not for the type of device I want to make work.

Can someone tell me what ("foodev") name to use in usb.handmap for either a serial device or Palm?

I have a Zire 71 (this is not the same as the old Zire) see

(sorry in order to post a URL you must have more that five posts so I had to put spaces in the URL, *sheesh*)
