What if.....
« on: February 28, 2011, 08:03:39 pm »
I had a thought: 32 MB is not very much storage space. however, the nspire does have an SD slot. What if we made an ndless prgm that loaded a linux image off of the sd card, as the OS, that used all of the nspire's Ram as jst that: RAM, not storage.

The nspire doesn't have an sd card slot, although there is diagnostic code for it in the os...Or am I missing something.

Wouldn't we need some sort of adapter?

Would it be possible with USB mass storage drives, too? If those are supported, then SD cards will also be supported, since USB SD card readers are quite common.

This is an awesome idea, we can just use an SD card adapter that would fit into the USB port to use it. Maybe it would be better to open it up and smash them in there, but that would remove the function of the USB port!

MSDspire?  Anyway, we don't have enough knowledge about USB just yet.  Can it even support host-mode?

Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

Someone claimed we did a while ago, but I forgot the post about it. To be fair I was sure we didn't even have much USB knowledge yet. You would have to check Hackspire, though.
