I currently am using an ipaq 3870 with a dual pcmcia sleeve for a wearable application (having issues.) I'm interested in possibly switching to the Zaurus. Currently, I use an HP VGA out pcmcia card and the Ratoc CFU1U usb card. The major requirements are external vga that can drive a display at 640x480 @ 60 and a USB host controller. Can anyone recommend a Zaurus model to use?
Thanks for any pointers. |

Both USB host adapter and external VGA are available on the Zaurus via Compact Flash adapters.
CFXGA VGA adapter from IO Data: http://www.iodata.com/products/products.ph...=15&sc=DISP-OUT The Ratoc USB card is supported on the Zaurus, but there is only one CF slot on the SL-c7** and SL-c8** models. So, I'm not sure how you would be able to use both. I have never used either of these CF cards, but they are supposed to work according to Sharp. YMMV. Hope this helps. |

You may want to consider the SL-6000 which has a CF and SD slot built-in and also has an optional expandability jacket with an additional CF slot and battery.

It should also be mentioned that the 6000 has a built-in USB host, so you can use the CF slot for VGA, and not worry about the sleeve.

I don't see why not. But you'll have to ask someone who has one to be sure.

There's also a Linux port in progress for the Toshiba e7[45]0 (which has USB host built-in, and a cheap VGA adapter). But it's still at a fairly early stage, and I don't think the VGA is supported yet. So you might just be trading one set of "issues" for another.
