Here is the script and instructions to try and generate a hack for a st2205 device that is not currently supported by st2205tool... To use: 1. Install crasm and svn apt-get install crasm subversion subversion-tools 2. Compile da65 dissassembler svn checkout svn://svn.cc65.org/cc65/trunk cc65 cd cc65 && make -f make/gcc.mak 3. put generate-hack.pl script in st2205tool directorby petergunn - Displays
3 or 4 years ago a number of small Digital Photo Frame Keychain products based on the Sintronix st2205u chipset were mass produced. The st2205u is based on the 6502 CPU (similar to the old Commodore64) and the firmware can be easily hacked using opensource tools (i.e. crasm in Debian repos). Once hacked they can be used as usb powered color backlit displays for tools like LCD4Linux. The photofby petergunn - Displays
3Com 3CRUSB10075 with Zydas chipset (zd1211rw driver and 1.4 firmware) has been working perfectly for me so far. They're pretty cheap on ebay (<$8 shipped in USA). -PGby petergunn - Debian
I just set up my dockstar as an openVPN end-point so I can VPN in to my home network. Its set up so that if I connect remotely (from somewhere like a hotel) all traffic will go over the VPN - this means I can access servers and mount shares on my home network and if I surf the web it will use my home ISP's DNS servers and route web traffic via my home ISP. Web traffic goes like this (VPNby petergunn - Debian
Definitely better places to find this info, but as I just hacked together a quick and dirty Samba setup script for my new dockstar install I thought I would contribute. No warranty of course...

Everything looks good - no need to recompile. Just wanted to let everyone know that the posted binary is legitimate and safe to use. Thanks for posting it. -PGby petergunn - Debian

Thats where I got my dockstars! :-) they still have some for $20+ship But IMHO $20 ($15+ship) for a 20Gb 4200RPM 1.8in drive doesn't seem great when you can get a 5400RPM 1by petergunn - Debian

Best deals right now tend to be 2.5in (i.e. 120Gb for $19.99) and are faster with more capacityby petergunn - Debian
Thanks for posting build instructions. FYI - You have a typo on the following line: wget 'ftp://ftp.rsasecurity.com/pub/pkcs/pkcs-11/v2-2/pkcs11f.h' # should be /v2-20/ In case anyone is wondering if nigelhealy's binary is different from the self compiled version: root@debian:~# md5sum truecrypt-7.0a-source/Main/truecrypt ./truecrypt 2432cb6a00aead782a73520eafb15610 truby petergunn - Debian

With Gorgone's latest 2.6.35.7.4 kernel and a zd1211rw wireless adapter I can boot without the Ethernet cable attached without any special configuration or scripts and everything looks like its working. Not sure if it was the kernel or the new adapter that did the trick.

FYI - 3Com Wireless 54Mbps USB Network Adapter 802.11g/b (model: 3CRUSB10075) seems to work well using the zd1211rw driver (Gorgone's 2.6.35.7-dockstar kernel + 1.4 firmware). $8 on ebay (used) - just a pity they aren't smaller -PGby petergunn - Debian
lxde is slower than fluxbox.

I tried a couple of rtl8187 based USB adapters (Alfa AWUS036H and G-Sky GS-27USB) with Gorgone's 2.6.35.7-dockstar kernel. The results are not great - dockstar only boots if cable is connected and they seem to lose connection with the router after 5..20 minutes. I tried (briefly) to get wicd to work with no success so I'm currently using a hacked up script to connect/reconnect. Hereby petergunn - Debian

Here are some notes of the steps I took to get my USB powered DS-90U monitor working on the Dockstar: 1. Installed Debian using Jeff's script 2. Upgraded to Gorgone's new kernel - this contains latest udlfb kernel driver 3. Get packages required to build displaylink X server... apt-get install xinit xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-dev xfonts-base libusb-dev xorg-dev git-core buildby petergunn - Debian
