My old zaurus ac adapter seems to be the same as my new c3100's ac adapter accept that the old one is 2 amps and the new one is 1 amp. Is it still alright if I use the old one with my new zaurus?

xamindar,
the "old one" should be labelled as "EA-70". This is the one and only recommended adapter for US / Europe. EA-72 and EA-75 are Japan only. Simply search for "EA-70" and you should get a lot of hits here. ///TRIsoft Marc Stephan |

Thanks for the info TRIsoft.
The old one that came with my 5600 is an "EA-70" and the new one that came with the 3100 is an "EA-75". The EA-75 adapter will work in any country so it isn't Japan only which is something I was worrying about when I found the Zaurus in Japan. Apparently the c3000 has a Japan only adapter. |

xamindar,
We provide all Zaurus units here and in Europe with the Ea-70s not the Ea-75 we remove those when they arrive. The ea-70s was the adapter used in the U.S when the Z line was here therefore it is approved for use here (FCC). |

In order to sell them to the US they need to be FCC approved adapters. So that explains why some people have different adapters with the same zaurus models. |

In that case, if I order a C1000 from Streamline, can I order it without the ea-70 adapter, since I've already got a couple of them from previous zaurii? If so, what would be the cost savings? |

We can discuss that in e-mail the reason we ship it with the ea-70 is for the FCC as well as warranty claims if the ea-70 is used we will not have power issues on the Z ( 0 to this date). If you dont use the EA-70 or and approved adapter(Streamline approved) on our units it will void your warranty through Streamline.
