Finally got a 6000L today, but very confused about the usb host port.
Firstly, the mini-B connector on the back of the docking station (the one sharp gives you a cable for)- is that for usb host or slave? Now, just what type is the port on the Z? Loads of ppl say it's a mini-A, and I've got several mini-B cables, none of which fit, but the port is for OTG (On The Go) USB connections and should, according to the spec, take mini-A and mini-B connectors, which will decide whether it is a host or slave. So why don't my mini-B connectors fit (not that it is much use to me as a slave port)? Does anybody know where I can get a suitable cable for a reasonable price in the UK? Iriver won't sell/ship outside US/Canada. I am also interested in a [insert zaurus port type here] to mini-B cable- anyone know where I can get one? Thanks Simon |

QUOTE(gfdsa @ Jan 28 2005, 01:26 PM) I found a Mini Type A Male -> Type B Male on www.lindy.com, ordered, recieved today and checked. Works. ... Here is the link: http://www.lindy.com/chit/productfolder/03/31627/index.php And the pictures: Thanks for the link! This place sells other, similar cables as well, and has worldwide offices. I ordered two cables (mini-A->B, mini-A->mini-B - covers most USB devices w/o attached cables) and got them 3 days later (US). iRiver is currently out of stock; claims it will remain so until July.. Also, not in your post: the cables I ordered are 0.5M and very flexible, so they are pretty compact. |

QUOTE(metal9966 @ Apr 14 2004, 05:29 AM) i think he is talking about the MINI A usb Connector on the 6000, you need a Mini A to standard USB cable. What is the correct name of a standard USB plug? Is it "A" or "B"? Jon Loldrup |

Has any of you guys have any luck with USB 2.0 flash drives?
I picked up one of these little beautys (only $60 for the 1GB version at Sam's). They are quite small with the retractable connector feature, and you can't beat the price. Except that I can't get them to work with the Z. Hotplug doesn't even recognize when its plugged in!  The docs says that it does support Linux w/ 2.4 kernel, and I can mount it without problems with my Compaq Presario running Slackware 9.1.Perhaps it is an issue with the USB 2.0 interface? |

Have you tried mounting it manually ?
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstorage where usbtoarge is a existing folder under /mnt it should normally work at USB 1.1 speed. |

Well, there is no device to mount. Hotplug does not recognize that the drive was plugged in. Is usb-storage module loaded? If not try loading it manually that should force the kernel to see the drive. Also this might be a silly question but are you using a USB host cable (mini-A) to connect the USB flash drive? It won't be recognised if you are using the black usb min-b cable that came with the zaurus. Stu P.S. iRiver Japan has the iRiver USB host cables for 520 yen (http://www.iriver.co.jp/estore/details.php?3,9,118) for those of you in the Land of the Rising Sun who were wondering where to get a mini-A usb cable from. I walked into an iRiver store and picked one up right away

Check it out here: Vernier |

Since I think I also located a possible adapter kit with mini-A 5-pin female I thought I'd share it, although the Vernier $5 plus shipping looks pretty good. I found the following possibility (also available in 6 foot length?) which looks interesting: Retrak / Emerge 3-Ft Usb 2.0 Cable Kit - ETCABLEKIT3 ETCABLEKIT3 - 3' USB 2.0 Universal Cable Kit - Includes 2-USB 2.0 Cables (3' and bonus 18" cable), 9 interchangable adapters allow for easy configuration of multiple cable types. Configure as USB A, B, Male/Female, Mini A 4-pin, Mini A 5-Pin, Mini B. 4-PIN, MINI A 5-PIN, One source is http://www.nextdaypc.com/main/products/det...ainid=ND0130014 Another cheaper source for the adapter is http://www.audio-video-furniture.com/Commo...=294659#Details Has anyone had any experience with this adapter kit? The picture isn't clear enough for me to tell if it will be right. Thanks, sdjf |
