Zaurus - Hardware discussion / Re: Replacing the screen on C3x00 with transflective one
« Last post by DiTBho on February 26, 2025, 08:14:42 am »Is there any datasheet of the Zaurus LCD?
Pintout? detailed datasheet?
Otherwise is just speculation.

Zaurus - Hardware discussion / Re: Replacing the screen on C3x00 with transflective one
« Last post by glu on February 26, 2025, 07:38:47 am »I've found e.g. Dell Axim x51v which has VGA transflective screen that is also 3.7 inches (http://www.kodeks.hr/Assets/Pdf/axim_x51v.pdf). The hardware spec is very similar to Zaurus, which makes me think/hope screen swap would be easy as they probably use same pinout/cable.

Zaurus - Hardware discussion / Replacing the screen on C3x00 with transflective one
« Last post by glu on February 25, 2025, 12:10:53 pm »Yesterday I was coding on the go on my C3200 and I must admit that the screen is almost unreadable in moderate daylight.
I remembered that some of the xScale based PDAs from the era had a similarly sized screens that were transflective, so I thought that maybe they would work with the LCD controller in Zaurus without any modifications? Did anyone maybe succeed in transplating one into the Zaurus?

Zaurus - Void Linux support / kernel patches? to Vanilla
« Last post by DiTBho on February 25, 2025, 08:22:07 am »hi
I am in the process of resurrecting my old Gentoo Catalyst arm-v5.
Zaurus is one of the two targets.
I'd like to write some overlays for emerging the kernel, in this case I'd like to use a Vanilla kernel + patches.
Is there a repo with the patches, or do I have to extract them by comparing a "modified/hacked" kernel with a "vanilla" kernel?

Zaurus - Hardware discussion / Zaurus C1000, C3000, components datasheet?
« Last post by DiTBho on February 25, 2025, 07:40:38 am »hi
I remember there were datasheets and partial schematics about the components used in Zaurus C1000 and C3000.
Unfortunately I am not able to find them.
I am going to repair a dead C3000 motherboard
+ flash to be desolder and replaced
+ dead microdrive
in the process I will also desolder the IRda port, and reuse the serial contacts for something else.
Let me know

Zaurus - Hardware discussion / Reviving my SL-C760 in 2025
« Last post by clofland on February 24, 2025, 07:00:38 pm »Is anyone still here? I have some questions:
I got my SL-C760 a LONG time ago, when they were still being sold new. I would like to "revive" it.
1. What OS do you suggest I try to put on it at this point? I see a few options over the years in the forums, but it isn't clear to me what would be the most stable to use now. I don't need anything fancy, mostly just something that will boot with a minimum of fuss and support my CF Ethernet adapter.
2. I don't have a battery anymore. Is there a way to deal with that? I can get into the sort of "recovery" login by holding D+B. Can an OS install deal with this too? If not, can batteries still be obtained?
Thanks for any ideas and/or discussion.
