Re: Mining with a Zipit Z2 (crappy old wireless instant messenger)
Tried to run that cgminer on an old iPAQ H3850 I have here running OPIE and it just gave me "error opening terminal: vt100" 
(although it runs ./cgminer --help)!!

If you are using the cgminer I linked in this thread - know that it will only run on a Zipit Z2 device (more specifically, one that is running the default and very outdated kernel).
I had to build it in scratchbox, in a static mode (all of the libraries are bundled into one fat stupid binary).
So yeah - it's worthless to any other device. But hey - you should work on compiling it from source on your iPAQ. Because, why not? If nothing else, as a goof (ref: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtcbVUNO1NY).
I'd love to, but unfortunately I wouldn't know how to compile it.
It already is quite hard for me to compile for an old 32bit x86 I have. :-)
It would be very useful if it somehow managed the network and the usb peripherals, but I don't even know if the iPaq or Opie supports usb host.
In the other hand, if there was a way to use the serial port... and connect it to control an USB hub...
Oh, dreaming out loud! :p
