Anybody any idea whether this would work on a C860?

I'd like to use it for my SparcStations due to space, but I'm presuming USB-serial is out for me with a c860, right?

Correct. No built in USB host on 860. You can use one of these - [a href=\"http://www.serialio.com/products/adaptors/ZThinCable.htm]http://www.serialio.com/products/adaptors/ZThinCable.htm[/url] (sold out, but not really hard to find AFAIK), or - the Sharp CE-170TS serial cable (I don't know if it would fit the 860).

At one point I bought a couple of adaptors that would let you cut one end off a serial cable and convert the end to the Z's pinout. Cable worked great, but the screen of my 5500 made a lousy terminal. If I come across it I will sell the other adaptor to you for the cost of a stamp.

The older zauruses have TTL level serial too

I have this cable

I'm assuming any cable should work with the sl-c3200 since it's just a usb device. Or am I wrong?

Well since you already have it...

Hook it up and let us know...

I'm still waiting on my sl-c3200 to come in the mail.

I have a USB<->RS232 converter which I plug in to my C3100. The adaptor is recognized and the modules usbserial and ftdi_sio are loaded, this lsmod tells me. However I get no /dev/ttyUSBn so I don't know how to open the serial port.

If anyone who has got a USB-serial adaptor to work can help out on this I would be very grateful.

Are you sure /dev/ttyUSBn is the port that opens...

usually "dmesg" will tell you want port it maps it too...

This may fall in the same boat as USBNet not working under rc121 just yet...

Ok... I just check the udev rules... it is setup to map to /dev/ttyUSB0

so dont know why it isn't working for you... unless you are using actual /dev/ttyUSBn and not subsituting the "n" for a #

Found it... was in /dev/tts/USB0. Silly me.
Thanx anyway.

Yea.. I read it wrong... it is mapping where it is suppose to..

KERNEL="ttyUSB[0-9]*", NAME="tts/USB%n", GROUP="root", MODE="0600"
