| 22:13.36 | fishhead | that is correct |
| 22:14.05 | fishhead | w8tvi it might be possible to put the kernel in ram and use some kinda palm os bootloader to jmp to it but I doubt it |
| 22:14.10 | fishhead | it's been a while since I ead about that |
| 22:14.15 | W8TVI | hmm |
| 22:14.44 | fishhead | I gave my mom back her IIIx since my IIIxe died and my nex palm will be arm based |
| 22:14.57 | fishhead | but I might fix my old one so I will let you know if I find any info |
| 22:15.04 | fishhead | are you sure you don't have flash |
| 22:15.07 | fishhead | almost all the sony ones do |

| 22:20.19 | W8TVI | ouch |
| 22:20.20 | fishhead | at least the laptop has a color lcd |
| 22:20.22 | fishhead | :) |
| 22:21.12 | fishhead | vnc actually runs very well but the machine it's connected to isn;t that gareat :) |
| 22:22.09 | W8TVI | even my sl-5000 has a faster cpu and more ram... |
| 22:23.10 | fishhead | bah it might be masked rom = "CANUCKED" |
| 22:29.09 | fishhead | w8 |
| 22:29.14 | fishhead | how much ram does it have again |
| 22:29.36 | W8TVI | 16mb |
| 22:29.55 | fishhead | yeah you would think it might be possible to do some kinda linux bootstrap from dos |
| 22:30.51 | fishhead | like loadlin from dos |
| 22:32.18 | W8TVI | yeah |
| 22:32.39 | fishhead | dammit it's masked |
| 22:33.12 | W8TVI | so what does that mean? |
| 22:33.24 | W8TVI | by it being masked? |
| 22:33.42 | fishhead | mask rom |
| 22:33.50 | fishhead | meaning it's not programmable rom |
| 22:33.54 | W8TVI | k |
| 22:33.54 | fishhead | it's set at the factory |
| 22:34.01 | fishhead | masked means make with a photomask |
| 22:34.08 | W8TVI | fun |
| 22:34.08 | fishhead | or it could have been OTP |
| 22:34.11 | fishhead | one time programmabl |
| 22:34.19 | fishhead | less and less stuff doing mask rom |
| 22:34.51 | W8TVI | WOROM |
| 22:43.43 | fishhead | ya know if it doesn't affect the opteration |
| 22:43.51 | fishhead | I think I might pull the 8052 cpu out of this webpel |
| 22:44.01 | fishhead | since it only appears to be used for smart card reading |
| 22:44.20 | fishhead | 8052's rock the 8 bit world |
| 22:44.35 | fishhead | w8 sounds like good project btw |
| 22:44.41 | fishhead | a way to exec a kernel from palm os |
| 22:45.01 | fishhead | the kernel would have to be modified a bit to avoid palm records in ram |
| 22:45.09 | fishhead | bootloader would have to do the same |
| 22:45.13 | fishhead | but I would think it's possible |
| 22:47.30 | fishhead | hey W8 |
| 22:47.34 | fishhead | looks like this has already been done |
| 22:47.52 | fishhead | http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT9116639287.html |
| 22:52.26 | prpplague | fishhead: yea, thats what i did, made a few little dev boards for the 8052 |
| 22:52.47 | fishhead | it didn't piss off the webpal at all ? |
| 22:53.13 | fishhead | the one in the webpal is a atmel one also |
| 22:53.22 | fishhead | atmel makes good 8051/52 clones |
| 22:53.26 | fishhead | one of the better ones in fact |
| 22:53.41 | prpplague | fishhead: naw, the 8052 is strictly used for the card reader and multiplexing the keyboard |
| 22:54.50 | fishhead | oh the keyboard |
| 22:55.08 | fishhead | will the wireless keyboard not work if I remove the 8052 |
| 22:55.18 | prpplague | fishhead: but when you remove the 8052 you can jumper the i/o directly to the port |
| 22:55.24 | *** join/#elinux W8TVI_ (~W8TVI@3639239735.mi.dial.hexcom.net) |
| 22:55.44 | fishhead | there is a jumper or I have to solder soething |
| 22:55.50 | fishhead | hey w8tvi |
| 22:55.53 | fishhead | you missed the fun |
| 22:55.58 | fishhead | it's already been done |
| 22:56.00 | fishhead | http://palm-linux.sourceforge.net/uClinuxPalm.prc |
| 22:56.00 | prpplague | fishhead: yea, lots to hack on the webpal |
| 22:56.07 | fishhead | prpp i'll pass then |
| 22:56.08 | fishhead | :p |
| 22:56.18 | fishhead | my hands are screwed up and shake too much |
| 22:56.31 | fishhead | the less sodering the better |
| 22:56.39 | fishhead | prpp now when you got your webpal |
| 22:56.46 | jnork | Not to mention soldering. |
| 22:56.56 | fishhead | were you able to load dos on it from the unit itself |
| 22:57.05 | fishhead | or did you have to use a programmer |
| 22:57.09 | fishhead | err not dos |
| 22:57.10 | fishhead | linux |
| 22:57.15 | fishhead | bah lack of sleep sucks |
| 22:57.44 | prpplague | fishhead: yea, used the one that posted, however i hacked blob to run on it |
| 22:57.56 | fishhead | blob ? |
| 22:57.57 | prpplague | fishhead: iirc tomw has an official blob version for the webpal |
| 22:58.00 | prpplague | ibot: blob |
| 22:58.03 | | i guess blob is the Boot Loader OBject, or http://www.lart.tudelft.nl/lartware/blob/ |
| 22:58.30 | fishhead | you mean like a generic lilo ? |
| 22:58.39 | fishhead | which was my other question |
| 22:59.03 | fishhead | nice |
| 23:00.58 | prpplague | fishhead: booting linux from arm is not like booting from x86 |
| 23:01.19 | kergoth | heh. no bios to handhold your ass |
| 23:01.21 | fishhead | yes I know |
| 23:15.30 | fishhead | kergoth well will it let you load a kernel from something other than flash |
| 23:15.39 | fishhead | so I don't have to reflash every time I change kernlels |
| 23:16.37 | W8TVI | on the zaurus, you can flash just the kernel |
| 23:19.41 | fishhead | I am going out but I will be back later |
| 23:19.44 | fishhead | w8 did you get that link |
| 23:19.51 | fishhead | you can exec a linux kernel from palm os |
| 23:19.53 | fishhead | I was correct |
| 23:20.41 | W8TVI | what link? |
| 23:20.55 | fishhead | http://palm-linux.sourceforge.net |
| 23:21.01 | fishhead | you install a .prc file |
| 23:21.19 | W8TVI | k |
| 23:21.59 | fishhead | see you later, have fun |
| 23:23.45 | fishhead | kergoth |
| 23:23.51 | fishhead | I used to help run a isp on campus btw |
| 23:24.02 | fishhead | I know all about trying to reload firmware etc |
| 23:24.21 | kergoth | I never claimed you didnt |
| 23:24.23 | kergoth | heh |
| 23:24.35 | fishhead | no I wasn't fragging |
| 23:24.47 | fishhead | just saying I have experienced no bios to hold my hand |
| 23:24.55 | kergoth | k, np |
| 23:31.41 | fishhead | thx for the url btw on blob |
| 23:31.55 | fishhead | i was hopin for something like that I will read anbout that tonight |
| 23:41.24 | fishhead | ah |
| 23:41.33 | fishhead | blob has ide support now also |
| 23:42.29 | CosmicPenguin | uhhh... blob has had IDE support for a good long while |
| 23:42.39 | CosmicPenguin | But hey, if you haven't seen it, its new to you |
| 23:42.43 | fishhead | yeah |
| 23:42.45 | fishhead | exactely |
| 23:43.07 | CosmicPenguin | Don't touch me |
| 23:44.18 | fishhead | now the question becomes |
| 23:44.28 | fishhead | can I load blob onto a stock webpal |
| 23:44.30 | fishhead | hmm |
| 23:55.27 | W8TVI | brb... reconnect! |
| 23:59.43 | fishhead | wow |
| 23:59.46 | fishhead | blob is perfect |
| 23:59.55 | fishhead | you can even terminal program serial load a kernel to it |
