This is where I had a few problems - I get lots of error messages when I connect the palm ("error getting string descriptor") with several beeps rather than the usual single "successful hotplug" beep. Also, the Tungsten binds to ttyUSB0 rather than ttyUSB1 for hotsyncing, which my old Visor used, which confused me further.
It may help to restart hotplug, and I would have used modprobe instead of insmod, as AFAIK modprobe loads any dependent modules as well, whereas insmod loads only that module (though I could be wrong).
However, it is now working, despite the error messages. Does anyone know what these mean (a snippet shown below)? And whether I need to worry about them?

Assuming there are no other modules needed, or no other work hotplug would have done, my only suggestion, after getting my Scanlogic USB HD case going, is that sometimes the different revisions of the hardware change the lines added to the source. On the plus side, you only need to run make modules after rechanging the source again, and it only rebuilds the affected module, so it only takes seconds.
