Hi All,
I just saw in Interenet the CF-card, which is certified for Zaurus ( http://www.optimus.co.th/planex/product/pr...p?p_id=GW-CF11H )and have a question: did somebody tried such a card or has any info about it? And, if yes, how is possible to find what kind of chip is in the card? Prism 2.5 may be? It is wrote, that the card works immediately with Cacko 1.23, but I think also about the accu use. Thanks in advance! |

Hi,
the Planex card is Prism3 based. So you need to update the SHARP Rom (should also work with Cacko). The needed IPKs are available in our download area: http://www.trisoft.de/download/Prism3drivers.zip ///TRIsoft Marc Stephan |

Hi,
QUOTE(new2006 @ Aug 31 2006, 09:06 PM) Thank you! By the way, following yours nickname, does Trisoft sell such a cards? in principle: Yes. The problem is, that we only have a limited quantity of these cards. Actually there're only about 50 left, not enough to announce them officially or put them on the website / shop. If you're interested in one of these, simply drop us a mail. The main problem with all CF WiFi cards is, that since July 1st the new "RoHS" (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive took effect. (More information here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROHS) The big problem for the manufacturers is the lead-free production. So all known producers stopped the production of CF cards but don't provide a new model matching the RoHS requirements. Only rest-stock imported before the deadline can be sold. As far as we know, there's actually only one manufacturer left with a RoHS conform product. We have a few samples here and are now in contact with some programmers in the Zaurus community to provide drivers for this new product. We hope that we can announce the new card in a few weeks with full driver support for the most used Roms. This is just some "behind the scenes" information about the funny problems we have to fight with every day  ///TRIsoft Marc Stephan PS: Cross your fingers that we'll manage to get some fine Zaurus drivers up and running because we really fell in love with the new card. It's a beautiful slim device without the big antenna-thingy we had on all the previous cards. |

Merc, thank you very much! It is a very interesting information! For a last weeks I tried find WLAN cards for Zaurus, but the markt looked like a desert! Nobody sell them. The reason is clear to me now. I crossed my fingers!
