SD Devices ∞

The SD slot can only be used for storage, as drivers have not been developed to use the various SD devices.

I have used a SanDisk 1GB SD card.

1GB is the limit right now. a 2GB driver is in the works and will be released when Angstrom is released one day.

MMC Devices ∞

The SD slot is backwards-compatible for use with MMC cards.

Some SanDisk MMC card's will not be re-mounted after the Zaurus is put into suspend mode. Manually re-mount it, or take it out and put it back in.

CF Devices ∞

Storage ∞

I have used a SanDisk 256MB CF card.

I have also used a SanDisk 2GB CF card.

I don't know what the size limit is for the CF slot.

Other/Unsorted ∞

• CE-AG06 Camera Card https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000645V8

  • Neat! It won't replace my Pentax OptioWP though.

• VGA

  • The owner is bilingual, so it's possible to email him for info.

• PDAudio

  • Records two channels of 24-bit/192 Kilosamples/second uncompressed digital audio to compact flash memory cards and hard disks.

USB Devices ∞

Many devices will need their own source of power.

• z-host cable

  • Mini-A Male to USB-A Female.
• CD/DVD burners are possible, but remember the that this is not USB2, so it'll go pretty slow.

• USB serial adaptor: https://web.archive.org/web/20120228205211/http://www.serialio.com/products/adaptors/ZThinCable.htm

  • MCL Samar Serial usb cable
• Gameport to usb convertor.

• USB Hub

  • CyberPower Systems Hub 420 MP (H420 MP)
• USB bluetooth dongle
• USB mini mouse

• USB networking is recommended because it doesn't get in the way of your hands when you want to use the keyboard.

• keyboard

Misc ∞

The stereo jack plug can act as a microphone with something like a standard cellphone headset. You can also use an adaptor for other headsets.

I was able to use a regular pair of headphones.. one of the buds became the mic. Bad quality, but still interesting to know. =)

  • WPA is supported by recent hostap drivers, so any WiFi card supported by hostap also supports WPA.

https://hostap.epitest.fi/

• merge wireless extensions 15 from kernel 2.4.21 (i used this one as a basis: https://tetsu.homelinux.org/zaurus/kernel/v17f/)
• recompile the wireless tools and hostap for this kernel (enable all the firmware update functions)
• upgrade station firmware on the card from 1.3.5 to 1.7.4 (see https://web.archive.org/web/20190817080006/http://linux.junsun.net:80/intersil-prism/)
