Can the EBW1150 be mounted as a usb drive?
Now that we have an eBookwise 1150 driver (with C++ source) working in linux (thanks derrell!), could it be possible to mount the EBW1150 as a usb drive letter and access its memory card (in linux and hopefully windows too)?
We seem to be recently breaking down a lot of barriers surrounding this (dead end) .imp format, so I think it would be nice to have this ability. This way there would be no need for external smartmedia card readers to access the card's .RES folders and would help access/maintain the card "on-the-fly". Now, where to begin...

A good place to start looking for an EBW1150 solution would be where it was already implemented for the REB1100 (similar hardware and uses the smartmedia card as well!), namely:
http://vladboroda.narod.ru/ - Main website for RebComm (in Russian) translated Source and executable files: http://vladboroda.narod.ru/files/Reb...ce_1.1.0.4.zip - (Visual Studio.NET 2003 source) http://vladboroda.narod.ru/files/Reb...up_1.1.0.4.exe http://vladboroda.narod.ru/files/Reb...ce_1.1.0.5.zip - (Visual Studio.NET 2004 source) http://vladboroda.narod.ru/files/Reb...up_1.1.0.5.exe http://vladboroda.narod.ru/files/RebComm.exe (1.1.0.5b update April 10, 2006). Any Visual Studio.NET programmers out there... Last edited by nrapallo; 08-28-2008 at 04:58 PM. |

Is that directly accessing the hardware or just doing the same as linreb? I couldn't tell from the website.

One of the reasons I uploaded the source code to RebComm v1.1.0.5 was to show exactly how it achieved usb communications to read the smartmedia card and then try to adapt it for the EBW1150. Reading the internal memory on the EBW1150 would be stretching it a bit! Never say never, though... |

Sorry for arriving late to the party but if you're still working on this you may want to check this out:
Using Total Commander (http://www.ghisler.com) and the Reb1100 plugin (http://www.turtleblast.com) it's possible to access the Reb1100 as if it were a usb drive. |
