    The problem is that when I sync the Treo, it effectively backs up the
    Treo database and jpilot shows only the Treo data. Conversely, I sync
    the m130, and jpilot only shows the m130 data. What I want to do is to
    merge the m130 data into the Treo database so I can retire the m130. I
    am very dependent on the Pal since I use it to record my working hours
    (as a contractor).

    One possible solution is to backup both data bases, and possibly write a
    program to merge them.

    Also, there are some utilities that provide a view of the USB:
    lsusb - this is effectively the same as cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
    Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
    Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
    Bus 001 Device 004: ID 04e6:000a SCM Microsystems, Inc.
    Bus 001 Device 048: ID 0830:0050 Palm, Inc. Palm M130

    usbview - gives you a graphical view and provides much more information.

    Note, that I have modified /usr/src/linux/drivers/serial/visor.c to add
    the Treo 650 which is device number 0x0061. But, the Zire21 is the same
    device number.
