Title: Console Access on SL-C860
Post by: dfrisby on October 12, 2004, 10:41:14 pm

Can anybody tell me how to get to the console on the 860 without starting Qtopia like I could do on my old 5500 by pressing the "/" key while booting..
There doesn't seem to be such an option on the 860, just a couple of startup screens.  I tries pressing "/", but no joy.
There is also no "Exit Qtopia" option like the 5500?
I'm running standard Sharp Japanese ROM with the locale changed to "en"
Thanks

You should be able to get to a console by pressing the ? key during the "Wait" countdown before Qtopia starts

Hope this helps.

Nope, no luck
I don't have a countdown, just 2 splash screens, one white with a Japanese message saying wait, then a second with the CG Silicon Logo and Zaurus Logo saying wait 1 minute (in Japanese also), then Qtopia starts
I tried "?", shift-"?" FN-"?"
Any other ideas - is this because I'm using the std Sharp ROM?

Doh!  Yes, Cacko has a wait count down before starting Qtopia where you can get a console.  The Default Sharp ROM does not have this on the clamshells as I recall.  Sorry.

You can download embedded console and install it on your Zaurus.
