A similar attempt was done several years ago (by accessing a TI trough ftp). And, I have been thinking about that with Gnome & Bonobo (like FolderLink under Windows). Unfortunately, I don't have time enough for doing this. Anyways, it's an interesting idea. Given that I'm going to begin TiLP v7.0 (migrating to GTK+ 2.0, add DnD support which should have been added since v4.0), it may be interesting to foresee this for sharing some mechanisms. >In a unix environment, taking advantage of the existing mounting system and /proc may useful for TI's (mounting them like discs, and viewing calculator specific information in /proc) Just throwing out an idea and seeing if it'll stick. Thanks Pushed on my TODO list with TiEmu and some other stuffs...

I hope you're not seriously considering doing anything reliable with the USB cable... otherwise... well, make backups, you'll need them :-) JB. -- Julien BLACHE <http://www.jblache.org> <jb...@jb...> |

Thanks Is it common practice to give each external device (calcs, mp3players, cameras,...) a file system? Somehow I doubt that, because I haven't seen much (if any) of these things. On the other hand unix is all about files and filesystems and "living room"-unix is a relatively recent phenomena... In a first version we could try this out with the usb cable only and copy parts of umass or something. It's worth trying out. |
