I recently aquired a 6000 from work to replace my 5600. All of the specs I have seen online say I should have 64 MB of ram and 64 MB of flash. When I go into System Info, it reports 62048 KB of ram and 95232 KB of flash. If i run 'df -h' in a terminal, I see:
/dev/root 28.0M /dev/mtdblock3 93.0M This is a pre-release 6000 that has a big "This device has not been apporved by the FCC" sticker on the back. So do I have a 6000 with some extra flash? Jeff |

Please do the following : - a nandbackup - then reboot and do dmesg > file Please put both files somewhere. I'd be curious to look at both files. |

Quite interesting. You've got in fact a 128 Mb one. Try df and mount to see how much space you've left, and cat /proc/mtd to get some more details on the memory configuration.
BTW - If you don't need that Zaurus I'd be interested in it :-) |

That would be the mythical SL-6000D:

according to that table, the D shouldn't have any wifi or bluetooth built in. Is this true?

To answer your original question, Yes you do have too much ram. Send yours to me, and I will send you a 6000 with the right amount of ram..

Cool, I knew someone here could help me "fix" it. It does have wireless, so maybe it is a 6000D with the wireless module installed. Does this mean I can't install different ROMS on it, or should they be ok with the way the flash is partitioned? Jeff |

Hello
Don't install any rom. You'll certainly have big problems. I'll try to work on a guylhem rom for a 128 Mb flash 6000 if I can get my such a beast. I couldn't find the samsung chip anwhere to purcase however :-( |
