From: Nick Griffin<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Monday, 15 April 2019 13:11 To: Discussion of the Amstrad E3 emailer hardware/software<mailto:[email protected]> I believe it needs a hacked version of the original firmware really and everything would work and if you could hack the internet and email apps in the Main Software so it would work with a network adapter to download email and that. But that will never happen because there is no interest in the device no more and its too old now. I would like a hacked version of it. You could put a Raspberry PI in it and would need a 6 inch screen. I would like to use it as intended, as a phone and that. Spanner..

Even the earliest version (I have one on my desk) needed 192MB. Current versions get a bit uncomfortable in 2048MB.. Linux is really too big for the E3; the OS, even the 10-year-old version the E3 used, doesn't scale down well that far. Now, if you wanted to port something like Minix to it...

If you have a working framebuffer then fbvis is a image viewer by Ali Gholami Rudi who no longer uses X11. See his `FRAMEBUFFER' section. https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Flitcave.rudi.ir%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cc23d3bd2aac54a03c6ed08d6c181602e%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636909158734999545&sdata=R9NgcWO9AfU17MsJECM78S1jZbOirwzBTlgvtOxnrXQ%3D&reserved=0<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http://litcave.rudi.ir/&data=02%7c01%7c%7cd9bb905f844c498706b708d6c19b7f22%7c84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7c1%7c0%7c636909270933083383&sdata=xj8H8mLF42Oxb0gYar6xQicn9vtg9ohRL9vH%2B%2BCLtPQ%3D&reserved=0> -- Cheers, Ralph. _______________________________________________ e3-hacking mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.earth.li%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Fe3-hacking&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cc23d3bd2aac54a03c6ed08d6c181602e%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636909158735009556&sdata=mH6fIns%2FMyEii1L4LGsrvSCMkhYzBKnUEmkJ1ft2n98%3D&reserved=0<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https://www.earth.li/mailman/listinfo/e3-hacking&data=02%7c01%7c%7cd9bb905f844c498706b708d6c19b7f22%7c84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7c1%7c0%7c636909270933103405&sdata=OWb3uuk8YZ2x/Uw7DGgnSrKequW/P5DT2gnYqGw2E1o%3D&reserved=0> _______________________________________________ e3-hacking mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://www.earth.li/mailman/listinfo/e3-hacking<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https://www.earth.li/mailman/listinfo/e3-hacking&data=02%7c01%7c%7cd9bb905f844c498706b708d6c19b7f22%7c84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7c1%7c0%7c636909270933113411&sdata=pRCI/5x3BaRJcxRwj7Vk4hHq%2BMty4dkZJf0d0TLF6yY%3D&reserved=0> -- ┌─── http://www.cowlark.com<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http://www.cowlark.com&data=02%7c01%7c%7cd9bb905f844c498706b708d6c19b7f22%7c84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7c1%7c0%7c636909270933133427&sdata=egyY8xHHsc6Kz2C0UfsYi/lt%2BlYS5KuYjTroRkr4WYw%3D&reserved=0> ─── │ "I have always wished for my computer to be as easy to use as my │ telephone; my wish has come true because I can no longer figure out │ how to use my telephone." --- Bjarne Stroustrup
