That's encouraging!

What happens if you try /dev/ttyUSB0 instead?

I have successfully synced my m500 and my Tungsten T.  Both devices had
two USB ports.  One of them used /dev/ttyUSB1 for syncing, the other one
used /dev/ttyUSB0.  (I've no idea what the other USB port is for.)

It seems that Palm swaps the two USB ports in every second Palm model.
