Title: Sd/minisd Video-out Card
Post by: ceffyl on August 10, 2006, 11:16:17 am

Geeks.com has an SD/miniSD video out card for PDAs/Smartphones. Description includes: Use the SDV-841 to preview slides on your PDA/Smartphone. The SDV-841 can connect with VGA, S-Video and RCA Composite Video connectors and display simultaneous 640 x 480 resolution color presentations on a monitor, projector, or VGA display.

It's only $78.50. Is this something that would be Z-compatible?

The supported operating systems include :
# Microsoft Windows CE 4.2, 5.0
# Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 or above (for PPC & Smartphone)
# Linux V2.4.18 on Samsung 2410/2440

i hope thats a kernel module and not a user space program, if it is then we would be very lucky (thank you GPL and its free to tinker rights)

if it is a kernel module then it is quite posible that all the SD card stuff is in there which they would have to open source to thier customers (not to everyone)

Given the Z's lack of SDIO compatibility, it might be quite the adventure getting it working even if you did have the driver source code.
