« on: March 16, 2006, 07:52:30 am »

Could some one tell me how to get this to work. I bought it and don't know what to do.

Can you describe the problem you are having as I also seem to have encountered probs with a Hitachi 4GB CF

Accessories / Usb Wifi Dongle Advice

« on: March 07, 2006, 10:47:13 am »

Hi there

I have a zhost cable and, although I already have a Cfwireless card, t is a pain to be constantly swapping over (I am not sure how kindly the Zaurus views this either)

I want to know if anyone has had any success in using a wifi dongle on the end of the ZHost cable.

many thanks,

Jonathan

  No problem

just enter "ls -al /" and "ls -al /mnt" and post the output to this thread.

BTW I just saw some of your answers in another thread.  If you cannot mkdir on /mnt, please show us what is the result of "ls -al /".  On my Z it is a link to /var and then to /home.

I tried to do this,

basically the entries in /mnt are just links to files in /usr/mnt.rom,

I cannot add a cf2 directory as it is telling me it is a read-only file system and it iwll not let me chmod

help

thanks

That's wierd, I put a /mnt/usbstorage on mine.  Maybe remount root as read write?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=117239\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I would need to be walked through how to do that, as I am not so au fait with Linux

have you looked at #fdisk -l yet? whats the output?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=117232\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

It is showing me /dev/hda2

but I cannot create a mount point as all of the entries in /mnt are links to /usr/mnt.rom

this presents two difficulties
firstly I cannot write to /usr
secondly I do not know how to create a link

thanks

I have a C1000 and have recently purchased a 4gb Hitachi Microdrive (3.81 available)

I am using it in under Qtopia 1.5.4 as supplied by Figlabs.

Initially I was able to see the drive in File Manager, and copy files to it but not save them directly from the Hancom applications (I checked it was 777)

Then I changed the partition table to 2 x 1.91GB drives.

When I put the CF card in the Zaurus, it mounted the first partition which worked wonderfully in Qtopia (including Hancom) but I could neither mount nor see the second partition.

I am happy with having the drive split, but would appreciate help on how to recognise the second partition.

Incidentally, I am also a victim of the 2GB SD limit, and I am thinking of partitioning this card to 1.9 + 0.1. so info on mounting the second partition of that would also be useful

Bless you all,

JB

Mac Issues / Newbie-sync

« on: December 23, 2005, 12:04:05 pm »

ok, that did not sound so bright on my part.

I have followed the manual, but now something has changed.

The app hangs or crashes when the C1000 is connected.

I have enabled a passcode on the Zaurus now

With OS 10.4.3 a passcode in Zmacsync preferences is required.

Is there an installation maual I can follow?

Ok, I did not mean to sound so pathetic, sorry guys.

I have connected to the Zaurus both by USB and LAN, and the Zaurus comes with SSH installed.  I am able to copy items to and from the Zaurus over both connections, but I cannot seem to sync using ZmacSync.

I have checked the IP addresses on both the mac and the C1000 and they are correct.

Am I missing something obvious?

Joe

p.s. thanks Macus for responding

I have recently purchased a Zaurus C1000 and with an English ROM from Figlabs and I am wondering if anyone out there has been able to sync one of these to OSX 10.4,3

HEEEELLLLLPP!!
