[9fans] Even more bitsy questions

[9fans] Even more bitsy questions

[w0rd 2 th3]

Well, I got bitsy working, and I have a few questions to ask...

1/ Does Infrared work?
2/ With the bitsy hooked up to the serial port and Plan9 running, I can only 
import keyboard text and look at debugging info, how can I make it so that I 
can send files via Xmodem or set up a PPP connection for net access? or 
perhaps have shell access to the bitsy? (Or whatever you Plan9 users call 
it)
3/ How can I get a PCMCIA HDD working? I have a CF sleeve but it works as a 
PCMCIA sleeve and can be used with those modules, so how could I get it 
working?

That is all.
I hope I can get some feedback on this because I'm really desperate to 
knowing what to do..
Thanks alot.

1. never tried.
2. there're examples in Booting101
3. It's very much like in the PC. There are scripts in paqfiles.

I do not have many answers, but I do have a question:

does susend/resume work for you?
If so, what bootloader version do you use? (what bitsy type?)
For me it only works if I resume within 30 seconds or so.
(my bitsy kernel is old, however)

Searching the archive might help; in the past there
have been discussions about using an external keyboard,
that may have some relevance.

I use a script startsd
(original at /n/sources/nemo/sys/src/9/bitsy/paqfiles)

#!/bin/rc
names=(\
	'MK5002MPL' \
	'MK2001MPL' \
)
dev=''
name=''
for (d in /dev/pcm?ctl) {
	for (n in $names) {
		if(grep -s $n $d){
			name=$n
			dev=$d
			echo -n 'configure #SC ata 1'>$d
			bind -a '#S' /dev
			disk/fdisk -p /dev/sdC0/data >/dev/sdC0/ctl
			disk/prep -p /dev/sdC0/plan9 >/dev/sdC0/ctl
			disk/kfs -f /dev/sdC0/fs
			mount /srv/kfs /n/kfs
		}
	}
}
