#31 Handspring Visor Edge support

[Anonymous]

I recently updated to Ubuntu Dapper Drake, dusted off
my old Handspring Visor Edge PDA, and attempted to sync
Evolution with the PDA. In doing so I discovered that
/etc/udev/rules.d/60-symlinks.rules is missing:

# Create /dev/pilot symlink for Handspring PDAs
KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", SYSFS{product}=="Handspring*", \ SYMLINK+="pilot"

From /var/log/messages:
