[coldsync-hackers] [FreeBSD / Clie] PEG-T415 behavior

["Cliff L. Biffle" <cbiffle at safety dot net>]

Hi all.  New to the list, please point me to a FAQ if there is one. :-)

I have a shiny new PEG-T415 Clie (PalmOS 4.1) which I can't, for the life of 
me, get to sync with FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE (or 4.4-RELEASE) over USB.

I'm using coldsync 2.2.5, have checked and rechecked my coldsyncrc, tried 
every combination of port, protocol, speed, and even tried making minor 
modifications to usbd.  With all debug facilities turned on, coldsync hangs 
after waiting for the 'wakeup packet'.  The USB ports on this machine work 
for everything else I've tried (mouse, Visor Dlx, Visor Plat, printer, etc.). 
 In short, I'm pretty sure this is a protocol issue.

Has anyone gotten a PalmOS 4.1 handheld to sync with coldsync at all?  How 
about with FreeBSD?  How about Clie owners (particularly owners of the T 
series)?

[As a complete and utter side note, has anyone tried mounting the Clie as a 
USB mass storage device when MSExport is enabled?  I've watched its attach 
sequence and I have a feeling it's emulating a reasonably standard 
mass-storage device.]

I read some posts in the archives that basically said "USB/PalmOS4/FreeBSD is 
broken and there's no ETA on a patch."  Has there been any progress on this?  
Would anyone like me to help, or like to help me?  I'm a FreeBSD hacker and 
long-time systems programmer, and I'd be happy to work on the code to get 
this thing syncing.

I'm preparing to reboot into Windows to take USB protocol dumps of the 
handshake sequence, but I had to fire off this message first.  (No e-mail in 
Windows.)

Thanks!
