Accessories / 5gb CF card from Muvo2 fm working?

« on: September 06, 2004, 02:44:04 am »

It has been speculated that this was a preproduction unit and that there is a good chance that production units will be locked like the 4gb muvo's.

Apparently, both Creative and Seagate reps have stated that you will not be able to use the drives in cameras, etc..

So I guess we all may have to wait for the Seagate barebone drive to be released, presumably in Q4.

Cxx0 Hardware / IBM Microdrive with C7xx/C8xx

Yeah, I guess the best way to that would be to use scotch tape and make a flap that you fold over to pull on.

That way it's clear and not really ugly looking like that pic.

Cxx0 Hardware / AC adapter doesn\'t give an SL-C760 a full charge in the USA

You should purchase a voltmeter. They are cheap and can be VERY useful
(Radio shack in the US has cheap ones for about $10 US)

Now if you use a voltmeter it may say 5V and still be defective because a voltmeter has almost no current draw so the AC adapter might be faulty, when all of a sudden it is required to supply current (as when it's plugged into the Zaurus the voltage may drop way down)

But if the voltmeter says 1.5V not plugged in, than you know it's bad.(probable it's the case)

Most likely (most definitely) if your not getting a full charge the Ac adapter is bad (not the C860 japan adapter in general-just yours).

Either way, you might want to get a voltmeter.

They REALLY are usefull for plug polarities (something you must be certain about always).
