6000 - Tosa / SL-6000 carry cases

« on: May 11, 2004, 01:31:12 pm »

I bought a Sumdex HDP-165BK at Micro Center. It was around $25. I was amazed at the fit. More than big enough for the SL-6000, with about a half-inch to spare. It has plenty of pockets, credit card slots, etc. A couple outside pockets could easily hold compactflash cards. You can attach velcro to the back of the Zaurus to have it permanently attached, but I\'ve left it loose for now. I\'ve used Sumdex cases before and they hold up well. I wouldn\'t mind one without the outside pockets so it would be a bit less bulky, but this model is worth checking out.

Software / K0/Pi help

I am having trouble with the sync function.  Whenever I try to sync (with a local file) at the point where it should begin the actual sync, it quits out to the launcher.  Any help would be appreciated.

This is of no help at all, but I have the exact same problem. I\'m trying to sync with an iCal (Mac OS X) calendar file.

Try:

and do a search for fonts. There a number of them. One in particular (fonts-bitstream-vera-sans-mono-50) says that it was useful on \"early versions\" of the SL-6000. I haven\'t tried it myself yet, so I can\'t vouch for how well it works. I plan to install it on my brand new SL-6000 tonight. I\'ll post if there are any catastrophes. There is also a bold version of that font, which might be useful, too.

I sure as heck can\'t read the fonts in the terminal without being two inches from the screen.

Replying to my own post...

Well, the fonts-bitstream-vera-sans-mono fonts didn\'t work so well. They seem to have spacing problems with the standard qpe-terminal-vga, and tab settings seem messed up. Text seems to overwrite itself. I haven\'t tried it with qpe-embeddedkonsole yet. The results I get seem rather random. Once I got the 14 pt font to appear correctly in rotated mode, but that didn\'t persist. Is there a stty setting that would make them appear correctly?

I\'ve been running some tests on my SL-6000 and one of them was to see just how many columns and rows (with a readable font) could be displayed:

I have pretty good eye-site, so some people might not be able to see the 7 point font. The screen on the SL-6000 is *superb*, so it\'s crystal clear if your eyes can handle it...

Yes, the text is a tad on the small side for my old eyes. Anyone know where to find a larger (than 12 point) fixed font? 80 col is very nice but not when you can\'t read it |^P
