VirtualBox... I keep hearing about people using that. How is it? Have you
ever used VMware Workstation and if so, how does VirtualBox compare?

I defined a VirtualBOX USB device filter to provide access to the

Yep, absolutely not. KPilot pre 3.5.9 did not work well with these funky USB
devices.

Well, if the device is syncing properly, then I wouldn't worry about these
log messages. KPilot is just reporting that the USB device comes and goes
without being a valid device to sync with yet. No biggie. It's doing the
right thing.

Or am I misunderstanding you and you're having a problem somewhere?

Thanks for the e-mail!! =:)
