Zaurus - Other distros support / Re: SL-6000L, where to start for newb?
« on: May 23, 2024, 12:17:15 am »
Hello
And I joined this forum exactly for the same reason.
My hobby is reviving old unusual electronics and computers
Recently got a hold of barely used sharp zaurus SL-6000L
Looking at System info > version tab> the kenel version and rom might allready be the latest one
kernel 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix
ROM Vesrsion 1.12
Wanted to wipe it and start with fresh image restore would like to have the latest available factory update, so I could restore it to factory state and start fresh.
Apparently the file I am looking for is 20040217SL6V112.zip
Does this mean that my SL6000L is already on the latest version possible? And I do not need that file?
Would just pressing the reset button restore it to factory state?
but unfortunately every link I found to this file is now dead on the whole world wide web
The closest I got was the wayback machine archive but the zip files are not archived for download

https://web.archive.org/web/20051023204352/http://zaurus.thegrantclan.org:80/download/zaurus/roms/tosa/
what are the other .gz and . jffs2 files listed there in that folder for?
Hope that someone here on this forum stil has these files somewhere on ther old computers and can post them avaialble for download ?
Thank you
