Trapped in an Agenda VR3! MatriX of MenThal

Agenda VR3 Personal Digital Assistant
[ <<back | links | coding | experiences ]

Monday 19. February 2001, I got myself an Agenda VR3, a PDA running Linux, developer edition. 5 days, six AAA batteries and most of my spare time later, I finally have it upgraded and started to make code that seg faults and spews bus errors on it... Lovely.

Coding

After giving up on getting my Red Hat 7.0 installation up and ready to compile code for the VR, I started using my ol' 6.2 installation. Alot of reckless rpm-forcing and lib installations later, I finally am able to compile programs for it.
{ Prescribble , MasterMind , XPhoto }

My experiences

So far, I've upgraded the kernel and romdisk a zillion times, something that drains batteries like a bathtub with a bombhole. Best excuse ever to buy rechargables.

As a "Developer Edition", things don't always work properly. But I'm beginning to use it "seriously" for shopping lists.
