xcardinfo
« on: March 23, 2004, 05:02:17 pm »
In xcardinfo, socket 0 shows my CF card (storage or WiFi), but socket 1 shows nothing, even when I have my MMC card in. Is this normal?

PdaXrom doesn\'t seem to like my MMC card for some reason. It\'s formatted as ext2, has served me for years in my sl5500 without a single hitch, but now almost as soon as I try writing to the card I get an input/output error, which means I have to stick it in my 5500 (my 750 won\'t even recognise the /dev/mmcda device to fdisk it), which tells me it wasn\'t unmounted cleanly, run fsck.ext2 and I\'m back in business, until I try to write the card again.

Is this an issue with pdaXrom, the 750 in general, or my one in particular.

Cheers,

Si

P.S. I\'ve seen lots of people with this type of problem, but never experienced it myslef - it\'s bloody annoying :-) I\'ve got to say.

As far as I can tell, those two sockets are both CF.  The sockets come in pairs...but the zaurus only has one, so your second will always appear blank.

Ah, phew, I thought perhaps my slot was broken.

I fdisk\'d and mkfs.ext2\'d my MMC again, and fingers crossed, it seems to be okay for the time being ;-)
