Anyone tried to use USB sound?

My Mobilepro 880 has a USB port, so I'm fairly interested in trying to
get a USB sound card that will work. Has anyone used one? Even on
another port? It would be beyond cool to listen to music on this thing
while doing other stuff.

I'm specifically looking at this new Turtle Beach USB sound adapter
which seems like a cool idea even for a sound upgrade on other
machines.

[Q] Current status of X for Sharp TriPad (PV-6000)?

Hey there - I'm considering the purchase of, and installation of NetBSD 
on, a Sharp Mobilon TriPad (PV-6000). I see that according to the 
"Supported Machine" list, it has a "Y" in all the important locations, 
but X-Server support is blank. What's the current status of X for that 
beast? I'm hoping to install either GPE/Opie on it eventually, but it 
would be nice to be able to install whatever GUI I want (icewm?) - 
something that would be a bit difficult without X support.

Any input you could offer would be helpful, thanks!

Paul.

PS: I currently run GPE (Familiar 0.7.2) on my iPaq 36xx, so I'm at 
least passingly acquainted with replacing WindowsCE with a different 
OS.

  I think this is the same as the Clio C-1000.  I haven't used X much, but
it seemed to work fine the last time I tried it.

  I have a iMic that works well on i386 and with my Ratoc USB CF driver on
my Clio from a .wav file for the part of the file that is already in
memory.  With ohci on the mobilepro it should work fine for wav files and
some network audio protocols, but the system might not be fast enough to
play mp3s.

Hmm.... I've played mp3s on my SparcStation1, that's a very slow box.
And also a 486...

Then again, the Mobilepro seems to be pretty slow even though it is a
170 mhz machine.

Thanks.

Re: NetBSD 2.0 installation woes

Hi Kelly,

I've been trying to install 2.0 on my MP790 ... I can get to boot from the 
the basic netbsd and start sysinst, detect and install my Pretec wifi cf 
card, setup the partitions (I choose to use the whole disk for NetBsd, 
except for 16MB for FAT16 to store the bootloader. All on my 512MB CF).

I install via ftp through my wifi card. Everything downloads fine, but when 
it tries to untar the files, it hangs! Any idea?

  At least the VR4111 has direct-mapped cache, and I think the VR4121 does
too.  I would guess that's why CE based performance tests showed slower
clock rate Toshiba chips beating NEC chips.

How to mount 2nd CF FAT16/32 card from the installation boot?

Hi,

I'm trying to install 2.0 on my MP790. I have 2X 512MB CF card. One is used 
for NetBSD installation while the other is used to store the tgz sets I 
downloaded using my PC.

After configuring sysinst for installation, I have the first CF partitioned 
and stuff. I'm trying to use install by local directory, so I have to mount 
the 2nd CF somehow, in order to access the tgz sets I downloaded.

When I try to mount the 2nd CF, it gives me an error "device is not 
configured". Any tips on how to do this? Thanks!

Hmm...

This could be due to /dev/ not having a device to match to the card... 

I assume the 2nd card is mounted in a PCMCIA CF card adapter or something?

If that's the case, you may be able to mount it before you start the
install over some local directory (using the shell utility), then go
through your installation.

It shouldn't be that, I had a similar issue working out how to mount the
second CF card in my Workpad without it having a disklabel on it. IIRC
you use partition 'e' to access the single FAT filesystem on the card.
So wd1e or wd0e depending on which order the machine sees the slots.
