I haven't used my handspring on a Mac yet, but let's see if I can help:

When you hit the "sync" button, you should see a "uvisor0" device show
up;  this actually creates a tty device, /dev/ttyU0 in most cases.  (at
least, when I've used it on port-i386).  When you hit the button, the
device is attached.  When the sync is over, the device detaches.  Thus,
you have to run pilot-link after you hit the button...


Hope this helps.
