C1000/3x00 Hardware / Cd Players And C3000

it seems to me that scd0 is not in fact the cdrom and most likly dosent exsist, i know on some older distros and those with older udev rules that a scusi cdrom somtimes comes up as sr0 or simmilar  however it seems wierd that you can mount it to /mnt/cdrom

perhaps change dvd-device to cdrom-device

anyway, from the mplayer manual:
mplayer [cdda|cddb]://track[-endtrack][:speed][/device] [options]

so perhaps mplayer cdda://1/dev/cdrom

and make sure that /dev/scd0 or whatever device node you use has actually been created, if unsure try cat <device node> if there is no driver attached to it it should print an error otherwise it will emit garbage

Thank you for the suggestions. I will try them and post back.

yeah, if you forget to put the / its reletive to the current dir, if you add the slash, it starts from the root dirictorey (which is what you want)
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=141197\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]


OK. I undestand the / . I had missed initially. But when I try this command from the terminal, I still get

-dvd-device=/dev/scd0: not found

I do appreciate your patience. Here's what I've tried so far and nothing seems to be working in terms of playing music CDs. I can play mp3 CDs without a problem, maybe because the Z recognizes the mp3 CD as a usb storage device.

Anyway:

1. I created a symlink from /dev/cdrom to /dev/scd0
2. I tried the following commands,
     mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom
     mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom
This works for an mp3 CD but when I tried it without a music CD, I got the following error message: "mount: Mounting /dev/scd0 on /mnt/cdrom failed: No medium found" and with a CD: "mount: Mounting /dev/scd0 on /mnt/cdrom failed: invalid argument"

3. I tried mplayer cdda://1 and mplayer cddb://1 and I got the same message as posted previously.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

cddb://1 unfortunately returned the same error as cdda, even after symlinking the cdrom. How do I specify the cd using your command Da_Blitz? When I try it in the terminal I get:

# -dvd-device=dev/scd0
-dvd-device=dev/scd0: not found

you dont need the -o ro, its implied automatically

it looks like the device node is there and the usb driver has attached to it but i would check it, first do a ls -l /dev/scd0 then check your dmesg logs when you attach/detach the device (try with the cd in)

if you have mplayer try mplayer cdda://1 or mplayer cddb://1 and see if any sound comes out, note that the cdrom drive dosent have to be mounted for it to play music or DVDs as it reads from the raw device (and enforces 1x mode so its quite)
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=141056\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

That's great, thank you!. Not using -o ro seemed to work. At least the device mounts without a problem when there is an mp3 CD in. The message I get is:

mount: /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only

After that I am able to find the mp3s by using zplayer, adding them to a playlist and enjoy them.

If I have a non-mp3 CD in the drive I get this:
a series of the above message and then,

Mounting /dev/scd0 on /mnt/cdrom failed: Invalid argument.

Also, the mplayer commands returned errors:

I suppose if i had more familiarity with Linux I may be able to determine why I get that error.

what was the full mount command you used?

Late
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=141039\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

This is what I used:

su
mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom
mount -o ro /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom

Is it possible to play CDs by connecting a  CD player to the SL C3000? 」 have seen in Meanie's Zbook that you one can connect a DVD/CD through USB, but when I tried to mount the devise I got the following error message:

"mount: Mounting /dev/scd0 on /mnt/cdrom failed: Invalid argument ".

Thanks

I have been using an AmbiCom (WL1100C-CF) for more than a year which I picked up very inexpensively at Circuit City. It's been working without any issues on the original Sharp ROM.

Does TuxCardz work under the stock Sharp Rom 1.11 JP? I've been having problems initializing the program.

I haven't checked it with Hancom, but I think CELL works the same way as with Excel. For type you would enter something like the following:

address
col
color
contents
filename
format
parentheses
prefix
protect
row
type
width

In your case, if you use "type" it will return either "b" for blank, "v" for value or "l" for label. "contents" will return either the content or 0.

I hope this helps.

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Opera For Your C1000 Or 3100
« on: October 17, 2005, 02:32:51 am »
Cresho,

Out of curiosity, what is the difference between Opera 7.30 and 7.55? Is there a reason you didn't install the 7.55 version of the browser?

I guess that was one interpretation. Here's a more direct approach:

Meanie, this is one of the best resource documents I have seen on such applications. And I have used many, many of them from the early Sharp clamshell devices, to Win CE ones, palm, etc. Keep up the good work!!

Are you kidding me? This is THE best resource for the SL-C3X00!

Awesome find! One more reason to carry the Zaurus everywhere instead of a laptop.

Thank you!

Anyone have an early model, or just want to speculate?

Anyway, now that the 3100 has as much flash as the non-HD C models, I want to know if it's possible to selectively disable the hard drive and just operate the machine from flash.  This would save on battery life when the extra space isn't in use.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=84334\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I suppose you could, but the question is why would you spend good money on  the 3100 and then not use the most important part of that device, the 4GB hard drive? Why  not just get the 1000 instead?
