Software / Swapfile Follies

« on: June 10, 2005, 10:59:43 pm »

I was trying to set up a swapfile on my 4 gig Hitachi CF card on an SL 6000L running the Sharp rom V. 1.12.  Referencing this thread,

I typed # mkswap /dev/hda1 as root.  This apparently formatted my whole 4 gig CF microdrive as a swapfile.  Is there any way to undo this and recover the previous ext2 formating and files on the CF card?  I don’t have access to a linux box to try to read the card.  (I am apparently dangerous enough with just my Zaurus.)

5x00 Hardware / Lost screws

« on: March 14, 2004, 01:11:56 pm »

I have lost two of the four screws that attach the sliding panel to the sides of the slider mechanisum.  Is there a general source for hardware like this?  If I have to request these from Sharp, is there a better way to discribe them?
