Accessories / Sl5600 Sdio

« on: October 17, 2005, 06:42:20 am »

Hi, first I'm a new user of the SL5600 and I'm looking for a SDIO wireless n bluetooth.
On this model, there's a SD slot but can it be used for IO? (I think it's a driver issue than a hardware issue right?)
I need to keep my CF slot empty (to plug a usb host adapter to a 40 gb hard drive)

I should have bought an sl-6000 but it's too expensive now so I went for an older model.

Thanks

Welcome!  I posted a similar response to this under another topic, but here goes:  Unfortunately, as far as I know there are no Zaurus models that are SDIO compatible.  It's the only real disappointment I've had with my 5600, but since there are a lot of excellent CF peripherals, this hasn't been much of an issue for me (I know your circumstances are different).  Even with this limitation, all my friends with Pocket PCs and Palms still drool over my Z.

All the best.

Accessories / New Socket Sd Wifi Card

« on: October 17, 2005, 06:31:19 am »

There is a new SD Wifi Card from Socket
http://www.socketcom.com/product/WL6207-600.asp

and seems like it has a driver for MontaVista Linux too

Do you guys think there will be chances that this card will work on the Zaurus?

As far as I know there is no way that this will work on any Zaurus model because they do not support SDIO.  Sorry to rain on your parade

Toronto / Anybody Active Here?

Just thought I'd join in this thread, as I too will be a Zaurus-newbie within days.  I am just awaiting the arrival of my 5600.

Any thoughts on tweaks to apply right off the bat anyone?  I was thinking of trying out the Watapon ROM, or maybe trying out the pre-emptive/cachebug-disabling patch on a Sharp 1.32 ROM.

I can't wait to play around with this beastie!
