I don't have a USB adapter that works, so I'm using an earthlink dialup and set my primary and secondary DNS to 66.17.16.111, rebooted it, and it doesnt get the time from the net, and when i go to 3com.marimba.com it's not found, but other websites work fine... what am i doing wrong?

From what I understand you cannot update to Final w/Shell through dial-up. The best thing to do is go the CF Card way and use 'Another QNX Image'. It's night-and-day from the stock Audrey image. Everythings in there and you can flash easy. I found a PDF (ConvImg.pdf) that was step-by-step. You'll need a USB card reader and a 32 meg CF, gemxplor.exe, mkcf.exe, and jukebox3.cf That's it. (oh yea, and a computer to make CF).

I can never go back to the stock Audrey image. Look the the Update: 'Another QNX Image' thread below this for more info about it.

I sent it today. Sorry, I've been looking, but didn't see that you posted you email.

It's just as easy as that document says. I couldn't get gemxploer to work with anything but a USB card reader.

Let me know if you have success. Looks like Jukebox is working on another, another QNX image. Cool, but the current one is great.

Ok, just got back from CompUSA, I bought a SanDisk 32mb CF, and an Antec PCMCIA -> CF Adapter. In my Win98 laptop, it creates drive D: for the CF card. I can read and write to it via explorer, so far so good. Problem lies in running gemulator. It shows MSDOS files on d:\, but the options to create or write image to disk are all greyed out.

help. :)

yea, i tried the card adapter and it didn't work. it needs to be a USB reader. i have a sony photo printer that is USB and the card adapter, it did =n't work either. it needs to be a USB card reader for some strange reason....

now you have more choices for images, infinity or jukebox.

some people have luck with a small program called Diskprobe, it is very easy to use it basically dumps the whole image into a cf. email me if you want the program.

Someone should really host this file or transfer the info into one of the FAQ sites.

this is missing the images obviously, but here's the text from the pdf

Using Jayklm?s FLASH Image for the Audrey
Before you begin, you will require the following items:
· Gemulator Explorer (http://www.emulators.com/explorer.htm)
· Jayklm?s image (various ? perhaps http://167.206.153.222/audrey/1002074338.zip)
· Sowbug?s mkcf utility (http://www.sowbug.com/audrey/hack_index.html)
1. Double click on GemXplor icon:
2. In the Gemulator Explorer window that opens, select your compact flash as shown below:
somewhere where you?ll be able to find it again!
3. Select File > Create Image File From Physical Disk from the menu, and save it
4. Locate the file you just created, right click on it and select properties:
5. Make a note of the size in bytes displayed by your computer (in this case the value is 32,243,712
bytes) because you will need this later.
6. Open a MS-DOS window and change directory to where you stored Jayklm?s image and the mkcf
utility.
Assumptions:
jayklm.cf Jayklm?s image file
Image to download to Audrey audrey.dsk
Compact Flash size in bytes 32243712
To create the image to download to the Audrey, type the following:
mkcf jayklm.cf audrey.dsk 32243712
7. Return to the Gemulator Explorer window. Ensuring that your compact flash disk is still
highlighted, select File > Write Image File to Physical Disk.
Use the file dialogue that opens to select the audrey.dsk file, and click on Open. The file will
now download to the Audrey.
You should now have a compact flash that you can upgrade from.
This document is released into the public domain ? do whatever you want with it.
