Sorry - that was a shot I had already online on a hardware board, so I wanted to have all three monitors running. I"ve got 2 computers running windows (one for games, and the 3-monitor machine for Photoshop.) The other three are running Kubuntu 5.10 and one with MacOS 10.4.3 for Intel. I haven't set up all three monitors on the Linux workstation yet, though.

get vmware server - it's free. then just run one big box and have virtual machines... works a treat - faster and easier to use than qemu; the only nuisance is getting the kernel module built when first installing.

Y74,799 (Including Tax and Shipping I'm sure domestic Japan only) or about USD $650...

Also, it looks like they did add SDIO support...

Otherwise not much news.

Where did you see they added SDIO support? Anybody can give me a link to confirm this? Am I missing something?

As I understand SDIO already supported in C1000 and C3100. What we lack of is the device driver!

Does that mean I will eventually be able to use the Palm wifi SD card with my C3100?
This would be good, as I would only need to buy one wifi card,
and use it in both my Palm Zire 72 and my 'Z'

anyone knows what this is? is this driver for sale? I am confused

seems to be no option to purchase without contacting them.
Looks like BIG DOLLARS to me.

This has been around for a while. If I remember correctly, they are based in India and have developed an SDIO driver for Linux and tested it on the C3000.
They seem to be targetting OEMs, so you probably have to buy licenses by the 1000s, so the only way we would be able to use those drivers is if Sharp would license the drivers and ship it with the Zaurus. This would also mean that the price would have to go up to cover the license fee so it is very unlikely that it is going to happen since not that many people in Japan are interested and those are the people Sharp cares about.

Sorry for OT, but does anyone at Sharp read this board?
If not daily, but just occasionlly?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=117410\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Obviously not!

If Sharp did read the OESF forums then the oft-repeated "Integrated Wi-fi and bluetooth for next Zaurus please Sharp" mantra would've been firmly embedded into their development TODO list long ago. I was genuinely expecting AT LEAST just that for this upgrade, as well as more RAM and I was also hoping for the 2700G and VGA out. The bigger microdrive was the least exciting thing they could add. As somebody has already said it is likely this update only arose due to shortage of 4GB or cheaper 6GB drives.

HTC- If you're reading then please re-vamp the Uni with 2700G graphics, VGA out, 128MB+ RAM, USB host, internal disk and a CF slot (dump the SD if I can only have one). This is the kinda spec the 3200 should've realistically been going for. Some company should put that together and hire sashz to sort out its OS

This is no news. The previous poster said 3200 brings new SDIO support, which leaves me an impression that Sharp adds the SDIO device driver to 3200. Looks like this is not the case. We are still in the dark.

I gave up on the single box model a long time ago. A single box just couldn't run all the hardware properly - period.

The game computer is a SLI setup in a lightweight, compact box where the rest of the hardware is minimalistic - single drive, single burner. That makes it portable enough for lans.

The second windows computer has three monitors, which creates performance issues for gaming, but is just about right for photoshop and to run bittorrent. Azureus kicks the heck out of a computer, even with a dedicated spindle, so there is no way I'd want it running on the computer I'm using at that second. That machine also has the SCSI card for the scanner and the modem for the answering system/fax.

The Kubuntu workstation is big, has lots of drives, and three monitors, and that's my box that I use most. The other 2 linux boxes are full of hard drives - one is my fileserver and has a TB of storage. The other is for experimenting with, and has a bunch (~12?) older IDE drives that I have to backup then decomission.

I just can't do everything in one box. I couldn't put enough memory or storage in it to do it all, and I'd have to leave that massive machine running all the time even if I did. This way I can only use what I need, and the rest are off and silent.

Bugger. I had my hopes up.

It's in Japanese, but if you search the page for "sdio" you'll find it.

I suspect this is just a community website compiling useful informations. That doesn't mean Sharp added the SDIO drivers, although I wish they did.

You are right. I just scoured the Sharp page and it doesn't mention SDIO anywhere... There is also someone on the site that says he couldn't find any mention of it on the official Sharp site either...

Question regarding the HTC Universal: How on earth is it possible to get it to work as a phone in Linux? Don't you need some sort of proprietary software from a phone company?
[div align=\"right\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Ironically, [a href=\"http://www.the-gadgeteer.com/review/htc_universal_windows_mobile_5_pocket_pc_phone]Judie from the Gadgeteer put up a review of HTC Universal[/url]. Which is exactly where my next upgrade will be. I put off upgrading until the 3200 was concrete. Instead of concrete, it just looks like a concrete brick to me.

For $800, it should've eclipse the HTC unit.

*Sigh*...

Streamline · « **Reply #119 on:** March 10, 2006, 08:12:29 pm »

Actually the pricing has come down since it was announced its comparable to the same pricing the 3100 was for 2gb more space. I realize the disappointment in the new model however the pricing is not as bad now as we thought it would be.
