6000 - Tosa / USB Adaptor & Cables

« on: January 13, 2005, 07:23:07 pm »

Nilch,
An I/O cable for a sl-5500/5600 will connect a 6000 to a pc without the cradle (at least in Win2K, WinXP and Fedora Linux).  The difference is that the connector in the bottom of a 6000 is turned 180degs from a 5500/5600 (the physical connector, not the connector pinout).  However, unlike a SerialIO thincable, you can't use the keyboard on the 6000 while it is plugged in.

If the zaurus is recognized and you want to simply connect via USB use the following script:

#!/bin/bash
/sbin/ifconfig usb0 192.168.129.200 netmask 255.255.255.255 up
/sbin/route add -host 192.168.129.201 usb0
ssh 192.168.129.201

This is not my script, but it works like champ.
This presumes of course you have ssh on your 6000, the 6000 is recognized and you have USB networking setup.

You can access the zaurus from the terminal  OR use
ssh://username@192.168.129.201 (I use root for username, forgive me) from Nautilus(Connect to server-Custom Location-Fill in the blanks), or I assume similiiar in Konquerer.

I am not sure if this is what you are after, but this will work.  If you want to connect at startup, let the script run at startup.

Hope that helps,

acme

That would be an interesting addition.  You could find a mate somewhere like digikey if you can find out what the connector is, then of course there's finding the pinout....

check the list posted

6000 - Tosa / 6000L expansion jacket serial port

I have not seen this in the posts, but has anyone managed to use the serial port in the zaurus expansion jacket?  Not neccassarily for syncing but as a real serial port.
