Here is my mod of my zaurus! It has a external antenna plug and extra 10000mAh battery for long lasting.
 Here is some pics.

Nice! Did you build your own battery pack? What batteries did you use?

I moded my WCF-12, Then I builded a battery with antenna mount together. With 4 x Sanyo 2500mah Rechargable Battery. The battery life last for a long time. The main problem is the antenna is not really good. I will get a good one later.

I am interested in doing a similar modification, but I don't know where to start. |

yes it can run without the antenna, but the signal is not good. Coz I broke the internal antenna.
 Luckly, it still works. However the signal drop to 50%.QUOTE(telemetric_au @ Apr 5 2006, 05:09 PM) can you run your cf wifi now without the antenna ?? (using internal)

Extra battery?
Ok I found this thing laying around, and was wondering if it would work if I get some rechargables and put them in. Dont want to fry anything!!! http://babyjesuscryswhenyouspam.us/z/ |

Dont want to fry anything!!! http://babyjesuscryswhenyouspam.us/z/ I'd be careful with that, if I were you. The Z is expecting regulated 5VDC, IIRC. You're using regular alkaline cells at 1.5V per cell: 1.5 X 4 = 6V. I've been thinking about building a battery pack, but I was planning to throw in some sort of voltage regulator circuit. Actually, I was just checking out Digi-Key a couple days ago to see what kind of battery holders they have. I still need to figure out what would be my best option for a voltage regulator... I don't have a lot of experience with electronics. Maybe one of the electronics hackers could offer up a suggestion for that. |

careful, the common 7805 dosnt provide regulation at around 6v or less, look for a low drop out regulator (try maxim and get a free product sample)
i am more than happy to help you out as long as you can solder

I just never actually studied electronics and I'm not familiar with the different IC options out there. I end up spending so much time reviewing spec sheets and "decrypting" them that I tend to put a project down and it just gathers dust. I figured I'd do a little research and then wire up a breadboard to do some testing before I actually plugged anything into the Z. I guess that means I'd have to figure out what kind of load to simulate, too. Don't know the typical current that the Z draws. If you're willing to offer up some ideas or direction, I'm all ears. Maxim is an electronics supplier, I assume? I'm more familiar with the magazine, myself.
