Palm OS5 compatable with linux??

Taris_Kah · 05-13-2003, 02:46 PM

I have a Sony Clie NZ-90 which has Palm OS5 on it. Anybody know if there is a kernel patch anywhere for Palm OS5? It doesn't seem like it is supported yet anywhere...

This is one of my final windows dependencies! =) and it's a annoying one, I do a lot of interacting with my PC and my PDA. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Guess nobody knows?

Well, give some members a chance, you should usually wait up to 24 hours and then bump the thread, not 3 hours. Sometimes members might know the answer right away, sometimes it might be never. Give it some more time.

Actually, I'm terribly sorry

for some reason I thought I did post that yesterday... I did post it while at work so that's probably why....

No harm done.

maybe you can try to search at redhat's site? If redhat support it, then it's more hopeful

Tried searching the Redhat database... Nothing.... Tried SuSE's (which is what I use) and nothing again.... I think other clie OS5 users have actually been able to get it working, but now I lost my USB cable

Have no clue where it went.... If anybody else has any ideas while I'm searching, I'm still open for them

Okay, I found what seems to be a great site, somebody did get their NX70V to work with Linux which is a OS5 based clie. I also found my USB cable

Just didn't have the time to try and figure out how to re-compile my kernel and such since I need to add a patch to it. I will look around and try to figure out what I'm doing on that and let everybody know how it goes.

are you going to keep the site a secret... what is the link?
