Transferring the Visor ROM in Linux -- 10:05 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

WOW! I just found out that transferring the Visor ROM is easier in Linux than it is in Windows! First of all, snag a copy of pilot-link and install it. An RPM is available on the Red Hat 7.1 Disc #1 (pilot-link-0.9.5-2.i386.rpm). Assuming you have USB properly configured (Red Hat 7.1 took care of everything at installation for me), hit the hotsync button and issue the following command:

pi-getrom /dev/ttyUSB1 visor.rom

Wait until the counter indicates that the transfer is complete and you are all set. All too easy.
