03:24.54fishheadis there a device they sell to clip on top of a tsop-48 rom to reprogram it in a dead unit
03:25.04fishheadwhile it's still soldered to a device
03:26.21T`that wouldn't make sense fishhead
03:26.37fishhead?
03:26.43fishheadno I mean attach to the pins
03:26.59T`can't tag on a programmer while you already have the chip soldered onto the board... unless its electrically isolated from the rest of the board
03:27.13T`right, but the pins are still attached to the rest of the circuitry
03:27.39fishheadok
03:27.43T`generally to program you dont need too many pins
03:27.49fishheadso basically I have a paperweight
03:27.57T`you can isolate which ones you want, take a exacto knife and lift those pins
03:28.08T`then solder some small wires to it and program it
03:28.23fishheadmy hands shake badly
03:28.27fishheadprobably not going to happen
03:28.32T`ummm
03:28.37T`what are you trying to do?
03:28.43fishheadi got a dead palm IIIxe
03:28.47fishheadneed to flash the rom
03:29.03fishheadit's corrupted so badly the palm can't start unless I ground emubrk pin and go into serial bootstrap mode
03:29.22fishheadand I don't know how to use that so I am thinking about removing the rom, attach to pc programmaer and fixing it
03:29.46T`oh, for such things, my guess is there might be a change they dont use the pins which are used for programming in conflicting way .. so you could probably program in-place
03:29.57T`s/change/chance
03:30.23fishheadI would disconnect the power from the device of course
03:30.46T`did you check if there are any traces on the board leading to a jtag or some other connector from that ROM ?
03:30.55fishheadnot that I know of
03:31.08fishheadserial bootstrap mode is kinda hte jtag mode
03:31.18fishheadyou use terminal program to talk to, send data etc
03:31.31fishheadthere is even a script for loading a linux kernel but never got it to work
03:32.02T`do you have the original palm ROM ?
03:32.07fishheadI can get it
03:32.13T`oh ok
03:32.16fishheadplus I have a semi working palm IIIx that uses the same rom code
03:32.28fishheadsemi working cause I don't have a digitizer :P
03:32.43T`digitizer for?
03:32.46fishheadtouch screen :P
03:32.56T`heh not much of a use is it
03:32.58T`;)
03:33.07fishheadit was my mom's unit, I dropped it and since my IIIxe was dead I gave her my screen + digitizer unit
03:33.10fishheadand she dropped it herself
03:33.17T`heh
03:33.23fishheadI have a working lcd but no digitizer
03:33.41fishheadthere is a palm program I think to dump the regs
03:33.43T`well, is the linux image actually loaded into ROM through that script?
03:33.44fishheaderr rom
03:33.46fishheadregs and all
03:33.52fishheadit can be yes
03:33.58fishheadI just don't know how to make it work on my unit
03:33.58T`generally if its one-tme thing, it would be loaded into some RAM area and bootstrapped from there i would think
03:34.02fishheadyes
03:34.07fishheadif I could get a linux image to run
03:34.10fishheadI could use flash repair tools
03:34.35fishheaddon't bother yourself too much I can't get to it till I finish moving anyways
03:34.37fishheadit's buried in a box
03:34.43fishheadjust getting ideas
03:34.47fishheadI might take back my palm t5
03:34.51fishheadnot happy with it at all
03:35.00T`well, why dont you just try to figure out a way for linux.. it would be much convenient (cuz of your shaky hands) than taking the ROM apart and programming
03:35.17fishheadiI tried but no one knows anything about serial bootstrapping :(
03:35.40T`hmm... the author?

13:53.36prpplague~seen sorphin
13:53.38ibotsorphin <n=dans@70.249.196.81> was last seen on IRC in channel #elinux, 11d 12h 52m 24s ago, saying: 'good riddance'.
13:53.53prpplague~sorphin
13:53.55ibot[sorphin] sorphin, or a Network Security lackey
13:58.20jbevrenI thnk so
13:59.05CosmicPenguinDid he delay his trip because of the hurricane last week?
13:59.30prpplagueCosmicPenguin: don't know he bugged out after an a bad day on the channel
13:59.53CosmicPenguinheh
14:00.36chouimatmorning
14:04.54jbevrenThis will remove Norton Internet Security 2005 from your computer. After uninstalling, you will have to restart your computer.  If you are concerned about your computer's security, please disconnect it from the internet.
14:04.56jbevrenlol
14:07.39T0mWjbevren: that thing is POS!  I had worked on a friend's computer trying to install the sucker on WinXP.  It kept bailing out of the install
14:07.54jbevrenI wont use norton's software
14:08.00jbevrenits been crap since symantec took it over
14:08.05CosmicPenguinIts better then mcafee
14:08.09CosmicPenguinthat stuff is pure crap
14:08.11jbevrenavg is better
14:08.18T0mWjbevren: I wish she wouldn't use WinXP
14:08.21jbevrenmcaffee only finds viruses when another virus app finds em
14:08.28jbevrentom: I have an xp box for gaming
14:08.36jbevrenalthough, it's been powered down for hmmmm
14:08.38jbevren3 months?
14:08.42CosmicPenguinI figure no games are worth it
14:08.43T0mWyah, I got a copy of AVG to install for her on Friday
14:09.36T0mWproblem with XP is that I cannot see what it is running in the background: e.g ps -ax
14:10.30T0mWCosmicPenguin: I find Win2K usefull: it runs quickbooks and only quickbooks (under VMWare)
14:11.11T0mWI've 8 years of company data in quickbooks, I don't think that I'll be moving to GnuCash soon
14:11.21CosmicPenguinheh
14:11.25CosmicPenguinyeah, thats a tough transition
14:11.32CosmicPenguinthough GnuCash is pretty decent
14:11.35CosmicPenguinthe reporting sucks
14:11.53T0mWthey have import tools for the Quicken QIF files, but not for the QuickBooks data files.
14:11.54CosmicPenguinBut its getting better
14:13.22prpplagueinteresting, did anyone know that "cultural shock" is a recognized medical condition?
14:13.48fishheadhey t0mw
14:13.52fishheadyou still playing with your webpal
14:14.02fishheadmine is coming out of mothballs 1-2 weeks after I get moved into new pad
14:14.03fishhead:)
14:14.37T0mWprpplague: probably another "disease" treatable with Prozak
14:15.25T0mW"here, take 25mg of Valium and you won't care what it is you are looking at..."
14:15.47fishheadculture shock
14:15.48fishheadheh
14:15.51fishheadI go thru that every day
14:16.02fishheadand I was born here and lived here every day of my 31 yrs
14:16.11prpplagueT0mW: http://www.pacificu.edu/academics/as/inter/ip/cultureshock.html
14:16.26prpplagueT0mW: apparently its very common with students going to school abroad
14:16.31chouimatprpplague: wow ... the psy* have way too much free time ...
14:16.38prpplagueT0mW: also with gov workers overseas
14:16.40CosmicPenguinprpplague: I can see that though - I've been places where I just sit there and go "oh, crap, what the hell am I doing in <blank>"
14:16.48fishheadhey chouimat
14:16.52fishheadthe ladies still all over you ?
14:17.02prpplaguechouimat: well it fits perfectly with what i;ve got at the momment
14:17.04chouimatprpplague: and me moving from Quebec to Ontario I guess ;)
14:17.12T0mWok, PCB should be here Thursday, solder paste comes in today...
14:17.36T0mWCosmicPenguin: LOL
14:17.52CosmicPenguinprpplague: you have culture shock?  I thought you were pretty comfortable with the islands?
14:18.14CosmicPenguinT0mW: in fact, I got that in Germany last week, especially since I don't speak a word of German
14:18.16chouimatCosmicPenguin: probably the fact he can't wear a gun ...
14:18.19prpplagueCosmicPenguin: i thought i was
14:18.26CosmicPenguinT0mW: I got to the hotel and went "crap - now what?"
14:18.39prpplaguechouimat: funny you should mention that, i told my wife that last night, hehe
14:18.47chouimatprpplague: hehe
14:18.50CosmicPenguinheh
14:19.07chouimatCosmicPenguin: you speak on word of german ... Bier ;)
14:19.09CosmicPenguinHeh
14:19.12CosmicPenguinyeah, and butter
14:19.21T0mWCosmicPenguin: been sent to Elbonia yet?
14:19.32CosmicPenguinT0mW: thankfully no.. :)
14:19.40prpplagueCosmicPenguin: i think its the fact that i never stayed this long
14:19.43CosmicPenguinActually, our fab in Germany is nothing short of massively impressive
14:19.44T0mWnext week
14:19.55CosmicPenguinI shoudl say, our two fabs
14:19.55prpplagueCosmicPenguin: longest i ever stayed with 42 days
14:20.38CosmicPenguinprpplague: I guess thats the difference - every time I go abroad, I know I'll eventually come home - I guess its a different story when you're there for good
14:21.13prpplagueCosmicPenguin: not talking geek with anyone here is whats really getting to me
14:21.42CosmicPenguinIt is a matter of not finding people, or there just not being any qualified geeks around?
14:22.18chouimatnext month we will see in Barbados "The Plague's Geek linguistic Acadamy for non-geek"
14:22.27prpplagueCosmicPenguin: there are few ppl here, but they are more like biz types, not really geeks
14:22.47prpplagueCosmicPenguin: i think its a cultural thing here, you just don't see many geeks in the carib
14:23.18prpplaguechouimat: hehe, imho either you're either born a geek or not, hehe
14:23.27chouimathehe
14:25.06prpplagueCosmicPenguin: we went and saw war of the worlds with a couple other ppl, and after the movie i started talking about all the problems i saw with the movie, and when i looked around everyone had this glassy eyed look similiar to a deer in headlights
14:25.37CosmicPenguinheh
14:25.59CosmicPenguinWell, I would move to give you a hand, but I would probably end up hospitalized with terminal culture shock
14:26.05chouimatprpplague: wow ... now you have to learn to just watch the movie =)
14:26.14CosmicPenguinI was born at 5280 feet above sea level, and I'll die there
14:26.37prpplagueCosmicPenguin: i suspect that it all has to do with their slave history here, because ppl here just don't question things
14:26.45CosmicPenguinInteresting
14:27.26T0mWprpplague: maybe they just don't care?
14:27.51T0mWprpplague: sex, booze and coconuts?
14:28.04prpplagueCosmicPenguin: one example, every receipt you get has a $0.01 stamp on it, but if you ask someone why, no one knows
14:28.21T0mWheh, sales tax
14:28.23CosmicPenguinMaybe thats because you're an outsider... :)
14:28.42file[laptop]they don't trust him! heathen! blasphemy!
14:28.46CosmicPenguinxnay on the alstaxay, the Texan is here
14:28.48prpplagueCosmicPenguin: hehe
14:29.49prpplagueCosmicPenguin: other things like taxes for cars, no one can tell you want the taxes are for or what the rates are
14:30.06prpplagueCosmicPenguin: when they register their car, the get a bill and they pay it
14:30.38CosmicPenguinstrange
14:30.52prpplagueCosmicPenguin: insurance companies don't give you an itemized bill for what you are paying for
14:30.53CosmicPenguinhere, people complain even when they know exactly what they're payingfor
14:31.12prpplagueCosmicPenguin: there is no national org that does weights and measurements, i.e. scales at the grocery store
14:31.30prpplagueCosmicPenguin: agreed, i just never seen ppl just accept it
14:32.27prpplagueCosmicPenguin: overall i find ppl here very accepting of the way things are without questions
14:33.49chouimatprpplague: must be fun at work ... when the boss ask stupid stuff ;)
14:33.50prpplaguechouimat: ?
14:33.56chouimatprpplague: if they accept everything without questions ... imagine dilbert in this setting
14:34.18prpplaguechouimat: oh, i still work for a company in the states, telecomute
14:34.28chouimatprpplague: ok
14:35.45T0mWprpplague: how does Donna feel about those things?  Is she the same way?
14:36.07prpplagueT0mW: well whats funny is she wasn't that way in the states, but she is here
14:36.16T0mWha
14:36.44T0mWodd that she could mentally shift like that
14:37.02prpplagueyea

14:48.03file[laptop]and then it turns into a slideshow of blood and gore
14:48.44sorphinCP|Home: well, i'm only in 1 of the pictures, so that slightly decreases the boring factor, since a big portion of the pics are from KSC

14:57.34CosmicPenguinI hate .xls files
14:58.05CosmicPenguinI hate that everybody has an "export to .pdf" option in their applications, but never fsckin' use it!
14:58.44CosmicPenguinI hate this Cisco pcmcia card

15:08.01jbevrenI hate this spectrum24 card :P

15:10.17jbevrens'ok
15:10.20jbevrenI wasnt after teh card
15:10.28jbevrenit can be binned as far as I care
15:10.43jbevrenhowever, its irritating that the touch screen doesnt want to work
15:10.58prpplaguejbevren: ?
15:11.49jbevrenits a dynapro sc3 according to the win98 install on the harddisk
15:11.54jbevrenbut it wont (yet) work in linux
15:12.57prpplagueoh i thought you were speaking about the s24 card
15:13.19jbevrenah
15:13.26jbevrenwell, taht doesnt work either, but I dont care
15:13.31jbevrenit was in the system the touch screen came with
15:15.22sorphinjbevren: so you bought that thing just for the touchscreen? heh
15:15.30jbevrenand the handydandy enclosure
15:15.36sorphinheh
15:15.37jbevrenits fairly weatherproofed actually

15:23.17CosmicPenguinsorphin: heh - yeah
15:23.32CosmicPenguinsorphin: I heard about that - I guess sun just announced a brand new line of Opteron servers

15:27.01sorphini need to ask the guy i know here who his wife works for again.. they make a big percentage of the wafers used
15:27.08sorphinbut i forgot wtf they are
15:27.35CosmicPenguinBut you would see lots of people in the cafeteria wearing the the shirts and pants they wear when they're in the clean room suits
15:27.56sorphinheh
15:28.56CosmicPenguinThe germans are way efficient though - the security cards carry a cash balance, and everything in the building is wired in

15:34.26jbevrenmy dynapro controller is some funky pc/104 thing
15:34.42jbevrenit goes on pc/104, and provides a CF slot for the ide bus (separate controller)
15:34.42sorphinthe F00F bug was caused by the FPU lookup table being xfered via a *modem* from one place to another
15:34.43sorphinheh
15:34.48jbevrenand also goes to the onboard serial header
15:34.58jbevrensorphin: crazy
15:35.24prpplaguejbevren: sounds like it might be multiplexed with some other data
15:35.29CosmicPenguinjbevren: I love those dynapro controllers though - calibration is so nice
15:35.47jbevrenprpplague: not really, I think
15:35.52jbevrenits a strange card,
15:35.57jbevrenmade specifically for this board..
15:36.05jbevrenon the sbc, the ide header is next to pc/104
15:36.18jbevrenthe pc/104 card in question has a pc/104 header to pass through, and an ide header to match the board
15:36.26jbevrenide goes to the cf slot as well as a cable to the hdd
15:36.56jbevrenthe pc/104 provides power to a few ICs, which consist of a stickered 20pin connector (TS controller?), rs232 level shifters, and a couple other oddies
15:37.07jbevrena 10pin cable goes to the rs232 header on teh sbc
15:37.17jbevrenand the TS panel hooks to another header on the pc/104 card
15:37.27jbevrenthe windows driver is the stock dynapro/3m driver
15:38.23jbevrenit says com1, rs232, but doesnt state the bit rate (I assume 2400)
15:38.45prpplaguejbevren: should be easy to find out
15:38.52jbevrennod.
15:38.57jbevrenI'll scope it eventually :P
15:39.01prpplaguejbevren: you can jack an oxscope on there and have a look
15:39.15jbevrenI have a tek scope :)
15:40.32CosmicPenguinjbevren: the dynapro I wrote a driver for in Microwindows was B2400
15:40.45jbevrenCosmicPenguin: nod.
15:41.00jbevrenI'm using the mmmtouch third-party driver
15:41.04jbevrensince it supports hot-calibration
15:42.04jbevrenbut when I run the mmmcalibrate app, the UI comes up with the crosshair
15:42.07jbevrenand when I tap nothing happens

16:21.12prpplaguesorphin: yesterday i waited for 35 minutes on hold while an INS person collected our file for me to check on the status, when i asked what took so long she said, "we were busy and got to you when we could, its not like you are a first class US citizen anyway"
