For Sale / Wanted / For Sale: C760 And C3000

The reserve price for the C3000 is (hopefully) a bit more reasonable now

Here are the wireless cards. These will ship free with the purchase of a Zaurus:
-Socket Bluetooth CompactFlash
-Netgear MA701 802.11b WiFi CompactFlash


Unfortunately (and oh so frustratingly), the Symbol WiFi card has vanished since I put it in storage some months ago

For Sale / Wanted / For Sale: C760 And C3000

« on: July 06, 2007, 02:55:07 am »

Hello all! I have finally put my Zauri up on eBay after many months of storage (I simply do not have the time to work with them anymore) The wireless cards will follow over the weekend. Each of these items are selling separately, and will end on Sunday the 22nd. These auctions are open to US, Canada and UK residents with a PayPal account.

I wrote up lengthy item descriptions for those who are not familiar with the Zaurus. If anyone spots any inaccuracies or glaring omissions, please bring it to my attention. It would be much appreciated    

Bidding starts at 1¢ with a low reserve. Also, there is now a Buy-It-Now option.
Listing:
C760
C3000

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Possible Source For Wi-fi/bluetooth Cf Card

« on: October 08, 2006, 05:01:36 am »

Gumstix offers the Wifistix   based on the Marvel 88W8385 chipset with "an open source driver available under GPL".  Perhaps someone more technically inclined than myself can dig up the driver from their site (start here).


As for the TrendNet TBW-103UB, the FCC filing is here.  I find it interesting that the module is split in two, the larger board being wifi and the smaller being bluetooth. The wifi board plugs into a header on the bluetooth board, which appears to have a usb hub built into it (the blutooth module is labeled as "BTHub_v2"). The bluetooth board has a ceramic antenna, and what looks to be an empty pad for an aux antenna; both should be easy to modify for external antennas. The wifi board is even more convenient with a u.fl plug. However, I seriously doubt that either of these modules would fit easily inside the Zaurus casing, at least not without some modification. Next time I open my c3000 I will be taking many measurements with this in mind.

from http://www.psx4all.net/ :
"PSX4all Public Beta 4 released for GP2X and Zaurus -(Playstation Emulator)
<snip>
Note: The Sharp Zaurus build has only been tested to work on pdaXrom. Cacko, OpenZaurus, and 2.6 Kernel distro builds are being worked on."


Hope to see it soon!  Thanks and cheers to zodttd and the psx4all team!

Also many thanks to Hrw, Rpurdie and everyone else who worked on bringing PXA video acceleration to OpenZaurus.

Awesome!
::drooooooooool::


Will any map card work with any TomTom unit, no matter the region?

Danboid,
I get the impression that you have been wanting PXAFB overlay support in OZ so that zpsx could be ported to OZ. zodttd's recent post in the PSX Running on the Zaurus thread leaves me with doubts, though:

I plan on making 2.4 kernel builds for pdaXrom, cacko, and OZ. In that order. smile.gif
If performance is decent on the 2.6 kernels, I'll get builds for pdaXrom and OZ. But since from what I'm aware of, they still lack BVDD modules for video acceleration. They have overlays but that doesn't help in my case.

I am thoroughly confused... Could someone please provide a simple explanation of bvdd, overlays, frame buffers and other concepts related to PXA video processing?

HRW has recently made a test kernel available with PXAFB Overlay, among other features. See the [TESTING Request] kernel update for OpenZaurus 3.5.4.1   thread on the openzaurus-devel mailing list. There is an amusing snippet of conversation at the end of his post...

Accessories / Das Anybody Know Gw-cf11h ?

PS: Cross your fingers that we'll manage to get some fine Zaurus
drivers up and running because we really fell in love with the new
card. It's a beautiful slim device without the big antenna-thingy we
had on all the previous cards.

The GNU/Linux "usbnet" Driver Framework site is an excellent reference for USB-to-Ethernet and Linux.

I just noticed that the PocketPenguin subforum is not listed when I am not logged in, nor are any of its posts shown in search results. Is this intentional?

I have come across several digital cameras which use batteries with the same dimensions, voltage, and mAh as the EA-BL08/11, the unfortunate difference being that the terminals are reversed. Here is an example I just dug up with a quick googling:  link

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Hentges Rom For Spitz

Coredump,
.....
I should do another round of testing, anyways. I may have done something wrong before, as my Linux knowledge is just enough for me to be dangerous (to myself)

Indeed, this was the case. The akita tslib.sh now works as it should on my spitz. Perhaps the earlier failure resulted from using Links to transfer the tslib.sh from the repository to a FAT-formated SD card, then to etc/profile.d/ ? This time I learned to use gFTP and transfered the tslib.sh straight from the repository to etc/profile.d/

Also, I do not believe most spitz owners would be concerned with the size of the maxi-image. 140+ MB is but a small dent in our storage space
