>Description:
	The uvisor driver is not reliable enough to use for sync'ing
	one's PalmOS device.

	Fetching a single DB often works, but when doing a full
	hot-sync, jpilot complains about not being able to fetch
	the Saved Preferences database, and pilot-link complains
	about bad packets.

	The same Visor in a serial cradle works fine.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Attempt to use a PalmOS device in a USB cradle with NetBSD
	(in my case, a Handspring Visor Edge).

>Fix:
