| 04:49:25 | ThomasFromParis | hi everyone |
| 04:49:56 | ThomasFromParis | does anyone try to put a compactflash in a tuxscreen ? |
| 04:53:42 | Russ | hey Thomas |
| 04:53:52 | Russ | I use a cf network card |
| 04:53:55 | ThomasFromParis | hey Russ |
| 04:54:27 | ThomasFromParis | i'm taking of a memory CF card |
| 04:54:32 | Russ | that watch looks great, thanks |
| 04:54:41 | Russ | ThomasFromParis: ya, I think some people have done that |
| 04:54:57 | ThomasFromParis | how hard is ? |
| 04:55:30 | Russ | probably not too hard |
| 04:55:47 | ThomasFromParis | is it recongnaze by Tuxscreen Linux ? |
| 04:57:21 | Russ | sure, most cards are made to look excactly like harddrives |
| 04:57:28 | Russ | with a pcbios partition table |
| 04:57:41 | ThomasFromParis | ok i have to make a test |
| 05:01:46 | BZFlag | ThomasFromParis: I assume you mean CF storage device, not a memory device, yes? |
| 05:02:43 | ThomasFromParis | I'm taking of CF card like in digital camera |
| 05:02:46 | BZFlag | As in a flash storage card. |
| 05:02:59 | ThomasFromParis | i think so |
| 05:03:10 | BZFlag | yes, that's a CF storage device. they all whousl work fine. |
| 05:03:21 | BZFlag | I've even used the 1G IBM Microdrive. |
| 05:03:38 | ThomasFromParis | to expansive for now |
| 05:03:39 | Russ | ya, just make sure you have pcbios support and fat suport if you want to use that card |
| 05:03:40 | BZFlag | some versions of the build system had the wrong entry in /etc/pcmcia/config |
| 05:04:15 | BZFlag | the module in /lib/modules/* and then entry in /etc/pcmcia/config should be the same. either ide_cs or ide-cs |
| 05:04:39 | BZFlag | do NOT rename the module. if /etc/pcmcia/config is not the same, edit that file and restart cardmgr. |
| 05:05:55 | ThomasFromParis | ok nice, i should make testing during this week |
| 05:06:43 | BZFlag | looks like the 340MB microdrives are going for about $90 on ebay these days. |
| 05:07:02 | ThomasFromParis | to use that CF card. I want to test familar on the tux but the distro is to big for the ramdisk memory |
| 05:07:34 | ThomasFromParis | $90 on ebays... I have to check that |
| 05:07:36 | BZFlag | nods |
| 05:09:15 | BZFlag | http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2037559894 <- next one up. |
| 05:16:07 | ThomasFromParis | thank for that link, i will check that |
| 05:16:42 | BZFlag | that's just the top one I got when searching. search for 340mb and less than $100 in advanced and you should get a ton. |
| 05:19:09 | ThomasFromParis | I found one at $40 for the moment! |
| 05:19:20 | BZFlag | http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2038495988 <- that one should work too. can't beat that price. $25 for a pcmcia 340mb drive. |
| 05:19:45 | BZFlag | probably slower than the udrive, but probably still faster than flash. |
| 05:20:34 | ThomasFromParis | for a udrive, I need to make an IDE interface ? |
| 05:20:56 | BZFlag | make? not on the tux. it has two pcmcia slots. |
| 05:21:29 | BZFlag | the udrive is CF, so you need a type 2 (not type 1!) cf pcmcia converter. |
| 05:22:04 | ThomasFromParis | ok sorry, i did not know this udrive |
| 05:22:19 | BZFlag | udrive, as in microdrive. sorry. |
| 05:25:12 | ThomasFromParis | thanks for all the news, It's the beginning of the day here in France, I have a lot of things to do. Bye, bye |
| 05:25:33 | BZFlag | http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2038677558 < $115 for a 2G pcmcia drive. ;-) |
| 05:25:50 | BZFlag | cya |
| 13:29:17 | bhima | yawns. |
| 20:47:50 | file | hey prpplague |

| 21:56:16 | CaCtus491 | where abouts are you btw? |
| 21:56:29 | CaCtus491 | ...and do you have a touch screen? |
| 21:57:14 | CaCtus491 | I'm in the middle of making up a power supply. Stupid Americans and their 110v / 60hz :) |
| 21:57:31 | prpplague | lol |
| 21:57:56 | prpplague | ya but 60hz makes it easy to build electric clocks |
| 21:58:26 | prpplague | CaCtus491: texas, and ya, i've got a whole room of semi-assemblied ts |
| 22:00:00 | CaCtus491 | Can you suggest a page on the wiki for me to look at with instructions on how to get some sort of linux happening on this thing once the PS is going? |
| 22:00:22 | prpplague | CaCtus491: ya there should a be a wiki page for installion linux |
| 22:00:31 | prpplague | let me see if i can locate it |
| 22:01:17 | prpplague | CaCtus491: http://www.tuxscreen.net/wiki/view/InstallingLinux |
| 22:02:35 | CaCtus491 | thanks |
