I've been trying with Novacom all night, there doesn't appear to be a win executable, and the drivers it installs in windows don't seem to see my Pre.

I suspect it may have somemthing to do with the usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.devmodeswitcher. The app is hidden in the launcher and I haven't yet found a way to turn on hidden apps. Of course there is a config file in the directory that would allow me to unhide it and burn the rom back, but I'm not quite ready to take that step yet so I'm trolling for launcher code. There has to be an egg to ignore that setting...
