If you'll be opening the case by any chance, can you take a look at SDRAM chips and let us know their marking? There's a rumor that some of Sl4's were made with 128MB of RAM...

EDIT: Actually, there's no need to open it up, the additional 64MB would show up as a RAM disk in WinCE.

Nope, 64MB


Hmm, I'm having some issues with minicom here..when I plug the cable in, I get CLIENT send a bunch of times, but when I reset to simpad, just garbage...
I thought the baudrate was supposed to be 115k?

Nevermind, I got it...

I think old simens' bootloader uses 38400-8N1, hardware flow control.

The same guy is selling Simpads now for $115 without all of the accessories.  He also has broken Simpads for sale.
SL-C3100 (from PriceJapan.com): modified Sharp Rom (couldn't make Japanese input work in Cacko Rom)

ex-SL-C3000; ex-SL-5600; ex-Simpad

Hello

I have 128 Mb of ram, and working with someone on flash extension. If it fails, an internal sd/mmc reader if I can find a free GPIO.

Very simply put - the guy had NO idea what the simpads are.
The first one was sold at 75$ !!!!!!!

Yeap, and if he has any more stock, I'll prob get one for my friend!

You can use a CF with a CF->PCCard/PCMCIA adapter and a MMC with a multi-card pccard adapter.

The one I received (box was a bit scratched, but unit and contents are brandnew) is a 64MB version.
Snappy!

Mine came with the europe adapter as well as the American one, and it's an auto-switching supply,  so yes, you can use it in europe...
