- I've been diddling with the Sharp Wizard code, courtesy of Virgin
- Software, J. Bruce Dawson and Steve Putz, which has been recently
- circulating. Reference was made to Sharp documentation describing
- the communication protocol between the Organizer and anybody's
- RS232.
-
- I've written a perl script which talks to the Organizer on tty000.
- So far it can request the overall directory, cause the Organizer to
- exit the PC-link state (to reduce battery drain), and turn the
- Organizer off completely. But nothing else.
-
- Does anybody have the Sharp protocols? The code I have, oz.c, was
- apparently written for an earlier model, and my OZ-8000 doesn't
- respond to the Send or Receive commands. Any help?
-
- Does anybody know how to invoke raw mode on /dev/tty000 on a 3b1?
- I managed to do an ioctl() on it which gets it into a pretty decent
- mode, but I'd be happier with raw mode, especially if I can get a
- timeout, rather than having the program hang. I can't find any
- mention of raw mode in any of the 3.51 documentation.
