C1000/3x00 General discussions / C-1000 And Serial Cable

« on: April 04, 2005, 03:40:52 pm »

I saw the same info about the 3.3V serial on the c3000 forums, and I had assumed that the usb -> serial would work as well. I was just curious to see if anyone had confirmed it or confirmed what else the diag port did.

I guess it makes sense to call it a diag port if it spews diag information at boot to the console.

Thanks again.

C1000/3x00 General discussions / C-1000 And Serial Cable

« on: April 04, 2005, 11:41:05 am »

I've been looking into a c1000 as a replacement for my 860. I used my 860 to configure my cisco equipment via the console until my 860 decided to shed the TXD pin from the connector.  

Anyway, I have seen a little speculation that the "hidden" port on the back of the c1000 is acutally a serial port similar to the serial/usb port on the cxx0 series, but other reports say that it is just a diag port. Does any one know if this has been confirmed as a serial port?

My next question is this: if using a serial cable with the c1000, like I did with the 860, is out of the question, would a standard usb to serial adapter work as expected for minicom or kermit purposes?

thanks,

For Sale / Wanted / Wanted: Non-functioning C750/760/860

« on: December 22, 2004, 10:41:56 am »

I have some serial port damage on my 860. I'm hoping I can find someone who has a trashed screen or a bricked clamshell who wants to turn it into cash. (yes, I'm stupid enough to take a soldering iron to BOTH Z's)

Obviously, I'll pay for the Z and shipping + insurance for purchase price.  Payment method is open, but I’d imagine that paypal or money order would be best.

Please email me at jridenauer at gmail dot com or PM me if you can help.

Thanks,

isn't that the day pdaXrom rc6/7 was initially due?

This remindes me of the DevNet days waiting for v3.10 rom for the 5500.

Windows Issues / XP SP2 --> no connection

« on: December 14, 2004, 10:11:51 am »

in XP (classic view):
control panel -> network connections

in XP (category view):
control panel -> network and internet connections -> network connections

you should see a connection "grayed" out. right click and enable.

in case you were wondering, "logical" means just that there isn't a physical network card to go with the sofware for it. "virtual" may apply as well.

Off Topic forum / Linux Decisions + Linux Operating System on Laptop

« on: December 13, 2004, 11:13:33 am »

This is one of those topics that never really gets resolved. Like a lot of things, it all comes to personal preference.

I started out with Mandrake and I am currently running Gentoo on all of my home linux pc's / servers (4 total). I like Gentoo for the fact that it doen't try to hide anything from the users unless you tell it to. I moved away from the "user" linux flavors (Mandrake, SuSE, and RedHat/ Fedora) because as I was using it, I found that "Web Browser" wasn't necessarly the web browser I wanted (one of several things that I found irritating).  

Besides, I like being a little compulsive about my setups (professional hazard). I think that is one of the strengths of the different distributions; everyone can find at least one that suits them. The only way to find out whether you like it or not is to try it.  If your timetable doesn't allow for playing around, then sticking with what you know is probably the best bet (although that might apply to more than just linux).

Now on to answering the question at hand. Gentoo's portage is great. I think I read that Open Embedded was inspired by Portage. Very rarley do I want to install something that isn't in portage and even then it isn't a big deal.  It may be a good idea to look at Gentoo's support forums to get a feel for it.

General Discussion / Playstation?

« on: November 17, 2004, 02:14:27 pm »

I didn't see any source code on the site. Without the code (which i'm sure they don't want to give out) to port to linux, I wouldn't think it will happen.

It would be like trying to run a windows desktop app on a linux desktop.

I would imagine it being painfully slow anyway; especially through emulation.

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Questions on the SL-C3000 (or C860)

« on: November 04, 2004, 10:41:32 am »

USB 1.1???

Isn't that going to be extremely slow especially on the 4gb SLC3000?

Yesterday, I finally got around to playing with the usbdrive functionality with my Z. I have a 4gb microdrive for my 860 and I copyied 1.86gb of Flame of Recca manga (the 860 is GREAT for reading manga in portrait) to the 860 via the usb storage function from my win2k pro workstation.  The process took 48 minutes to copy the manga to my zaurus using robocopy.  It's not the fastest thing on the planet, but it gets the job done.  There are several other methods of transferring data to and from the Z, you might want to take a look at them.

Accessories / Car power supply for C760

« on: June 23, 2004, 11:59:54 am »

I made my car charger out of an old Ericson phone charger a friend had/didn't need. After some modifications, I reduced the output from 9VDC to 5VDC with load (if I remember right, almost 6VDC without load). I also replaced the original plug with one I found at rat-shack (to fit the z). I haven't had any problems with it.

In case anyone is interested, Dell has these players on sale this week for 10% off. With free ground shipping, the cost is ~$215 + tax if applicable. At least they have them in stock.

On the \"i could have saved ~$40\" side, last week they were $188 w/free ground shipping. oh well.  :?

I\'ll post my experiences with this after i get it.
