On my 8500 with YDL 3.0 I used to sync my IIIe with no problems... Only
thing I need to do was make a link from /dev/ttyS0 to /dev/pilot and it
worked fine... I used mini-din 8 to DB9 adaptor from a handspring visor syn=
c
kit and just a sync cable (I bought my IIIe used so never had a dock) and
had no problems...

Also to note for others interested...

I bought a keyspan USA-19QW serial/USB adaptor and I synced fine on my B&W
G3 with my IIIe using YDL 3.0... Didn=B9t need to load drivers or anything,
the kernel recognized and config'ed it automagically...
