I'll receive my first Zaurus in a couple of days, a C3100. I'm a poweruser when it comes to regual computers and have a good knowledge of linux in general, but this will be the first time I even have a PDA.
So now I'm thinking of stacking upp with the stuff I might need, bluetooth card, wifi-card and so on.. When it comes to memory, i have a couple of Sandisk 1GB SD memories which i think will come handy. But What i want to know is; Do I need to buy CF memory cards to be able to flash new ROM's and stuff, or will i be able to do all the flash mumbo jumbo i might possible need with my SD-cards? It would be sweeter if i didn't have to buy memory cards since i already have SD-cards available =) |

Cxx00 Zaurii can be flashed from a vfat formatted SD card.

I believe that the only way to do a NAND backup is using a CF card bigger than ~160 meg. Please correct me if I am wrong on this point.

Assuming your flash is not 100% full, it even fits on a 128MB CF/SD although you will need a bigger one if your flash is close to full. 256MB cards are ideal for nand backups and restores. |

Hi Meanie,

NAND operations are stupid, but that's what make them so easy. So every NAND backup will always be 132 MB for an SL-C3100. The size of the "normal" backup depends on the installed applications. Conclusion: You'll need a >=256 MB card for NAND operations. ///TRIsoft Marc Stephan |
