Was there anything special you had to do with the printer? Or did you just align the infrared ports and press "beam" and it magically works?

6000 - Tosa / Microdrive Problems
« on: March 13, 2005, 01:19:28 pm »
I had tried that exact method with my 5GB Seagate, but it didn't work completely.. drive kept freaking out on me.. losing data at odd times.. things like that.  I switched it for a 4GB Hitachi and it works much better.. out of the box..

Only thing is I couldn't get my voice recorder to save data to it, or install programs on it.  No such problems with my 1GB SD card.. that seems to be cool.  

Interesting thing, for some reason, for like a day or two... , suddenly I could record to my Microdrive.. then I couldn't again.. I didn't do anything special either time.. it makes no sense.  Please note I've always been able to save data on the drive.. just not install proggies or record voice data.. wild.

I'm sure you could do a great deal of things with Firefox, Openzaurus, etc... I want the machine I bought, stock kernel, the machine Sharp said "Hey this thing as USB" to work.  All the jumping through hoops we do to get things to work is ridiculous.

Yeah, it still detects, but "sniffer, configure, intrusion" is greyed out, and not selectable.

6000 - Tosa / Microdrive Problems
« on: December 25, 2004, 08:06:54 pm »
See, that's my problem, I have a 16MB CF card that I can record to just fine.  It just seems weird that only with microdrives do I get this problem.  Now I hear you can't record to SD card either.  It just kinda worries me that Sharp puts out a crappy product.  With my 5500 I could flash to Openzaurus and be cool, but with the 6000 I'm stuck with the Sharp Rom until Openzaurus matures more on this platform.

Still, thanks for your input, glad to know I'm not alone with this recording problem.  Of course if anyone out there *can* record to a 4GB Hitachi drive or install programs on it I'd love to hear.

Wellenreiter tells me I'm not running it as root, but I have the "run as root" box checked.  Anyone else see that?

6000 - Tosa / Fastest Cf Card Used
« on: December 24, 2004, 09:22:20 am »
gdog,

Have you noticed any problems using the Hitachi drive to install programs on?  Or what about using the drive to save your voice recorder data to?

Mine is formated FAT16 and won't let me do those things.  I don't care about windows seeing the drive since I never touch the stuff.  But I wonder if it's a formatting issue I'm having.  Could be since ext2 won't show up with my mail client, so I suspect Zaurus wants something I'm not showing it.

6000 - Tosa / Microdrive Problems
« on: December 23, 2004, 04:18:28 pm »
I bought a 5GB Seagate, it was very flakey and needed constant reboots, it would lose data and when I played MP3 files it would sometimes stop midway for a reboot before you could try to play that file again.  You couldn't save mail to it, it would't even show up as an option in the mail to save mail there.  It would also flake out during large file downloads.

I traded that in for a 4GB Hitachi drive, and it was much better.  I could play mp3's without trouble, it never crashed and it could save my email....

But, the one problem I'm having is when you try to use the Voice Recorder it refuses to save data to the microdrive.  It complains there's no space.. There's plenty of space, it's a 4GB drive.  I thought there might be a problem since it was formated Fat 16, so I reformated ext2.. no dice.  

In fact, when I formated it ext2, I could no longer save my email on there.  So I went back and reformatted it to FAT16.  Magic, now I can put my mail there again.  But still can't save the Voice Recorder data there.

I know this is the drive of choice out there so I'd appreciate if one of you could try to record on it and let me know if it works.. if so maybe we can figure out what I did wrong to mess it up.  

Two Questions:

1. Does Zaurus 6000 require FAT 16 for the apps (email etc) to work?
2. Why does Voice Recorder not record to Microdrive?

Many thanks if anyone can help.

UPDATE:: I also can't install to the Microdrive either...  Same problem as the Voice Recorder, It gripes there isn't enough space even though there's plenty.  Thoughts on this are welcome as well.

I guess it should also be noted that the Hancom Word doesn't have a print option, nor the email nor the web browser programs.

Perhaps more interesting would be beaming your file to an infrared equipped printer.  Anyone do that yet?

Yeah, I guess it *does* work... must be the "run as root" option.

I tried the one from ZSI but couldn't make it work.  I think it used to work on my 5500, but couldn't swear to it.  So now I just go to time.gov and update manually every now and then.
