Wow, that's terrific!  I'm just beginning to think of getting a Fossil myself!  Please keep up this great project.

(Well, the Z in your pic looks like a real laptop, doesn't it?   )

PS. Oh yeah forgot to ask, wouldn't it be nice if it can use usb as well?

I've npt tried it with USB yet, as I don't have the right cable (little USB plug on both ends) but i don't see why it wouldn't work. When I get a cable, I'll test it out..

Just tested the packages to sync my C1000 with Handera 330 (OS 4.1).   I only use the serial port /dev/ircomm0 to sync and things go very smoothly.  All entries and categories are intact. 
Yet when I use pilot-xfer -p /dev/ircomm -l , I got this error:

Code: [Select]

  Unable to bind to port: /dev/ircommActually I find this jpilot so useful that it can also be used as the main PIM app on my Z (after all the original Palm Desktop/JPilot is quite a capable PIM suite).  It starts up in a flash (less than 1 second) and everything I need -- datebook, todo, address, memo -- is already there.

Hi, I would use the same port that you use for jpilot with pilot-xfer, i.e. /dev/ircomm0 on your system. It is /dev/ircomm on mine, but it depends on what setup you are using as to how it's named. Give pilot-xfer -p /dev/ircomm0 -l a try and see if that helps...

HTH,

Hi cjb.
Thanks for the updates to jpilot & pilot-link!  I tried them on my rc12 C760 and PalmOS4.1 m505. pilot-link was fine (pilot-xfer worked as expected with both -l & -i <file.pdb> options).  But I couldn't get the new jpilot to sync at all.  It would either give an error "This palm has a NULL user id"
and suggest I install a new user on the palm -- which install-user handled admirably, but to no avail with jpilot -- or it would complain that the user on the palm didn't match the last user to sync and then ask would I like to sync anyway... but if I said "yes" it would immediately abort the sync.

I noticed that after using jpilot 0.99-8's "install a new user" function, my jpilot.rc would have a line like user_id -1073752484 instead of the usual positive (and smaller) number for user_id.

any idea what's up?  I've still got jpilot 0.99-4 working but of course that's older than is advisable.
thanks!

Hi, yeah I used install-user to get the id, and entered it in manually rather than let jpilot read it, which seemed to get rid of this error. I'll look into this though, as it sounds like another problem with the way arm is unpacking numbers.

Cheers,

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Hardware problems with pdaXrom..

« on: November 25, 2005, 09:42:14 am »

Hi,

I had problems with my Socket Low Power WLAN card using rc10 and rc12 on my SL-C1000. It would work fine as a normal WiFi, but would not go into monitor mode for some Kismet action. I ended up recompiling the tetsu kernel, taking out the compiled in hermes chipset driver and compiling some modules from the latest source of the drivers.

I just had to do it again when upgrading from rc10 to rc12, so I put down a bit more detail on what I did here.

HTH

Hi,

I recently got one of those Fossil PDA Watches, and wanted to be able to sync it with my SL-C1000 over Ir for Maximum Geekiness. I ended up building pilot-link and J-Pilot from source, so I packed them up as ipks incase anyone else wants them. I've been using them for a couple of days - there is some occasional flakiness while syncing, and the odd GUI funniness, but it's definately useable....

Anyway, just thought I'd share - you can get them here

I've just upgraded to rc12, very nice, keep up the good work!

P.S. There is also some stuff on there on mangling the kernel to get my orinoco/spectrum24 WiFi card to work properly in monitor mode for Kismet...
