5x00 Hardware / Custom battery pack

« on: November 12, 2004, 11:27:35 pm »

Just to answer the question about running the Z with only external batteries...
I pulled out my battery, connected leads to the internal connections and to the  battery, and it's a no-go.  Whatever is being passed through the middle lead of the sharp battery is required to turn the machine on.

Accessories / SL-5500 compatible CF & SD cards???

Hi Fraggy,

I'm a newbie too, but I just jumped on a deal for a 1gb SD card from PNY.  It works fine in my 5000d!

Sharp ROMs / Hybrid Rom system restoration

« on: November 12, 2004, 02:52:07 am »

Hi folks, just became a zaurus user thanks to ebay.  Since my little 5000d has only 32m ram, I figured I needed a 32-0 Rom (I have a large SD card). Being a complete newbie, i found the OZ rom too unstable for me, and have come down to the cacko or hybrid.  Hybrid looks good since it has so much memory left after install!  but how does one do the system restore mentioned?

"A system restoration can be performed using special "Safe Mode" shell"

also, I see there are often problems installing apps, but this can usually be solved by adding some "links".  Can anyone tell this complete beginner exactly how to do this?  Is it a one-time thing or does it need to be done for each install that has difficulties?

If installs in hybrid are going to be this much trouble, maybe I'd better off going  back to the simpler cacko.

Thanks in advance
