I was just looking at this drive:
http://www.vosonic.com/index.php?php_mode=spec&php_itemid=36 It's powered, so I'm wondering if there's any reason the Zaurus couldn't use it as an external drive. Another question: some of these come with a car charger, and I thought that one might be compatible with the SL-C1000 until I realised it takes 2.5A (5V). Does anyone know if a USB or car charger for the SL-C1000 is out anywhere yet, or has anyone got a different one to work with the Z? |

If its powered externally, then it should work provided it also is USB 1.1 compatible (some USB 2.0 drives have limited compatibility and might not work  As for charging, I use the pcord to charge my c3000 via USB. |

Thanks!
Could you elaborate on this pcord ("power cord"?) strategy for charging the Z (1000/3000) via USB? I must be a little slow on this one. The USB chargers I've seen for sale don't fit the 1000. |

The P-cord (http://www.diatec.co.jp/products/det.php?prod_c=138) is a usb cable that draws current from a PC usb port and plugs into the Zaurus AC adapter hole.
It takes about 4-6 hours to charge my C1000 using one of these. Stu |

I see, thanks! The subsequent question is (naturally), does anyone know how us gaijins in Europe can get our hands on one of these cables?

Do a search on ebay: lots of PSP USB charge cables are available. The PSP plug is the same as the Zaurus Cxxxx plug (and the PSP charger also works with the Zaurus) |
