Psion Wavefinder works on Linux!
It’s so long since I signed up for the Yahoo group about linux support for the Psion Wavefinder that I’d almost forgotten I ever did. And the messages (just five in the past 18 months) didn’t give me much hope that the Wavefinder would ever work under Linux.
But on Friday, a post appeared from one David Crawley, who has got the device going and released a lump of code under the name OpenDAB. This is utterly cool. I hadn’t ever bought a Wavefinder, because of the lack of drivers, but resolved to get one if Linux support was ever achieved. It’s long-since out of production, but they pop up on eBay every so often.
So I’m a happy camper – and will be even happier if I win an eBay auction soon.
(And congratulations to David on such a great hack)
