Hi,

Has anyone managed to sync an SL-Cxxx model to Qtopia Desktop on Windows? If so, which version did you use and where did you get it? As far as I can tell the Japanese CDs that come with the Zaurus don't have a version of Qtopia Desktop. Trying to use other versions of QD with the Zaurus results in the 'incompatible versions' dialog box.

Using Ethereal I saw that the Zaurus is sending it's model string and perhaps a version number too to QtopiaDesktop.exe on the PC. So far all my attempts at hacking the two to talk together have failed.

Anyone do any better?

Cheers

The intellisync version is specifically for Sharp DTM. Older versions of Intellisync that shipped with the 5500 Models used the older syncing scheme (this was before Sharp went to DTM based applications).

Although the new Sharp DTM based ROMs probably won't support Qtopia Desktop for sync they do support QCOP control over the network which is why you are getting some communications between Qtopia Desktop and the Zaurus.

If you want to trace it to the next stage just install something like Ethereal onto your Windows PC. The QCOP command stream is plain text. From what I recall you can see plain text within the frames of the version file that the QCOP command is trying to access... alternatively I think that one of the OPIE folks will probably know what file needs to be present... as I recall a plain text file.. single line of text version approximating the version of Qtopia Desktop that you are using.

As I say it's some time since I did this though.
