Ron (or anyone),
do you know if anyone has succeeded in getting the USB interface
working rather than the serial interface? Otherwise I seem to get
the same results/work arounds you list under tips & tricks &
known issues.
I think at least part of my problem is that linux itself is not
detecting that I have a USB device plugged in (at least on the system
I'm currently playing with). After that I'm not sure if I can use a procedure
similar to what is listed for making syncing work with USB for ipods with the IR link.
Once I get s710d working again I plan on trying the ipod procedure to see
if it does anything unless someone knows otherwise.
