DESCRIPTION
Theuvisor driver provides support for USB based PalmOS
PDAs, like Handspring Visor, Palm Mxxx series, and Sony Clie.
The device is accessed through the ucom(4) driver which makes it behave like a tty(4). The device has several ports for different purposes, each of them gets its own ucom(4) device. The attach message describes the purpose of each port.
The usual Pilot tools can be used to access the attached device on the HotSync port.

HISTORY
The uvisor driver was adopted from
NetBSD 1.5 in August 2002. This manual page was
adopted from NetBSD by Tom
Rhodes
<trhodes@FreeBSD.org>
at that time.
BUGS
The code to provide multiple ucom(4) instances has not yet been ported from NetBSD. It is unclear whether this driver works in its current state.
