Hi Chesho, some nice pictures, and the Pelican brick looks tempting now someone else has done all the testing work.

I discovered last week that the power adapter for my aging iPaq 3630 also works fine with the SL-C3100 (and therefore presumably the C1000/C3000).

The discovery was accidental, since I had the Zaurus only a couple of days, and had intended to charge my iPaq (both were in need of some power). Without noticing, I plugged the Zaurus in the "wrong" adapter and went to breakfast.

The charging light was as normal and neither the Zaurus or adapter got warm, but I unplugged after 30 minutes, when I discovered my mistake. The iPaq adapter claims +5V 2A, although I cannot check since I don't have a multimeter.

Cheers,
Marcus
