5x00 General discussions / Help with SL5500 back to the 2.38 ROM

« on: February 18, 2004, 11:14:19 pm »

I was able to plash back to the old ROM tonight when the UPS delivered the CF card.  I want to play around with this ROM for a while.  

I looked at the web site at: http://www.openzaurus.org

It looks good and I have been running Debian Sid on my old notebook to learn how linux can differ from the SuSE install on my desktop.  OZ as a Debian feel to it.  The only drawback I see right now is locating an Opera ipk or some other web browser.  

Are their any other apps that are not available on OZ?  Can you use the Hancom ipk from the Sharp 3.2 update in OZ? Is it possible to package some of the apps in the Sharp ROM for use under OZ?

5x00 General discussions / Help with SL5500 back to the 2.38 ROM

I picked up a SL-5500 off ebay to play with during the cold weather.  My first mistake was buying a TRENDnet TEW-2222CF without researching it first. I plashed up to the version 3 ROM in a vain attempt to get it to work.

Well anyway a good wi-fi and a 64M CF card should arrive soon.  How do I get it plashed back to the 2.38 ROM?  The myzaurus.com site says to copy the ROM onto my new CF card then hold down the [C], [D], and push reset.  What is the [C] and [D] keys?  I hope it is not the tiny c and d keys on the hidden keyboard because I don\'t think my clumsy fingers can get those and only those keys down at the same time!

I want to go back to the 2.38 ROM so I can use the linux sync software, I try to use Windows as little as I can.

Thanks all, I like the info I have found on your web site.
