MicroXP / XP drivers

Post by plane_crazy »

Can you tell me what drivers the bluetooth is using, and is there a utility to make connections?

Still looking for sound drivers. Found the pci bridge drivers though. (They were the important ones!)

All,

It took a whole night at work searching. But I would like to thank my company for paying me to find this PCI driver. I started my search with the hardware ID. To make a long story short I found it at an IBM website listed for one of their notebooks. Hey it works??? XP picked up the Cisco card and loaded drivers right after.

I have uploaded this driver along with the drivers referenced here on the forum by Angrymeat (thank you so much for that). I have also included a folder titled BTW (bluetooth for windows) this is the only file I could find that remotely resembled anything to do with the listed bluetooth hardware in my unit. HOWEVER..... I used the setup file and it dropped a ton of stuff on the drive, and when it was all done none of it worked and it was complaining about not being able to find a valid license. So... instead... go to the windows hardware manager find the unknown device and point it towards the Win32 folder for a driver. That will satisfy the driver issue, but I still don't think the card is working. I don't really care as I have no use for bluetooth. Do you? If you have a working bluetooth driver or utility I would be interested though (just to say that everything is working) LOL.

With the exception of the bluetooth all is functional The touchscreen calibrated beautifully. The buttons all work and are programmable. Sound too. Hence the reason for the video codecs. Used Media Player Classic. VLC player dropped about 60M?? on the drive.

Here is what I have got on this thing.

Windows XP Pro SP3
Browzar - ?
MPlayer Classic - 5.4M (no install required)
Opera 9 - 5.6M
Click n Type Keyboard - 2.6M
7 Zip - 3.0M
Foxit PDF Reader - 6.6M
Flight Wizard - Flight Planning Software - 4.0M
K-Lite codec pak - 18.9M (ouch)
Windows Media Player runtime libraries - to play .WMV files
Notepad++ - 7.6M
Penmount Driver - 3.3M

499M Drive - 35.5M free
256M CF Card - 242M free (I may uninstall somethings and try to reinstall them on the CF card) I will go bigger here for more internal storage. Does anyone know the maximum size recognized in the CF slot??
4 GB - MicroSD to USB for storage (super slow transfers!!!)

I think I will image the drive once I get it set the way I want it then I can try Linux again without worry. But I gotta tell ya - if Linux were this easy everybody would be using it.

The link for the Zip file is:
http://www.adrive.com/public/150d11bf53 ... 90e97.html

Let me know if the link is OK. This is the first time I have used it.

Thanks to all,

Bruce

What is the USB Device in the dev manager?
I'm having trouble figuring out what it is (besides having to navigate with my keyboard since the mouse died)

Ionbladez,

Take a look at my other post for hardware identification. forum/viewtopic.php?t=4

Go to the Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device Manager

Find the device with the yellow ?. Highlight it with the keyboard and press enter. This brings up the properties page. Go to the details page and look for the "Device Instance Id". This will tell you who manufactured it and what it is. (by number of course)

I can't imagine how you can function without a mouse. It's just so much easier. Did the mouse die or is it a Windows thing?

Nah, the mouse died.
The base is messed up (usb end broke off the solder).
Anyways I did that first thing - already beat you to it.
ACPI something.
I got the video drivers working, but now it claims there is something attached to the controller (also an acpi device).
I can't get the touchscreen to work, or the bluetooth.

Touchscreen was easy. Just opened the Penmount setup file and that was it. Puts a neat utility down in the tray for configuration too.

You can install flash player on XPe (infact you can install pretty much anything that you can install on XP Pro), it just depends on your build.

How does flash player perform on XPe? I used it on linux within firefox once but found flash + the cpu load imposed by the browser to leave me with something that I did not consider "usable".

you will need a Portable cd rom drive

Post by serialjoepsycho »

So far using anything other than a cd rom drive is in effective. There are a few complicated ways that will work from a usb drive. Google the process if you want to try but thus far we have only been effective with the use of a cd rom drive.

Joe,

Look near the bottom of my big post above and you will find a link to a zip file on A Drive.com. The PCI driver is in that zip file.

I was hoping I did something wrong. It's says access to that file is no longer public and to contact whom ever can grant access (which I guess would be you).
Thanks for the help.
