Thanks, Jun, for adding mount_msdos to the experitmental binaries. I now am
running the experimental distribution on my z50 (48 MB RAM plus 96 MB CF
Card).
I'm plesantly surprised with the apmd -- the suspend/awake button seems to
toggle the SUSPEND/WAKE state, and, although the LCD does not shutoff
(should it??), the unit does seem to use less power in that mode. Yesterday
I took my Workpad to the beach (in the shade, of course) and was able to
work / rest / play without worrying about battery life when I took breaks.
Lasted a good 6 hours.
Thank you all for your tireless efforts.
