Not sure that I have seen this in the Forum, so I thought I would post, just in case anyone finds it useful.
It is possible to map the Zaurus (Internal flash,, SD & CF Cards, so they can be used from within My Computer/Windows Explorer as well as any Windows application. Ensure you have enabled TCP/IP (Advanced) networking on the PC & Zaurus. Connect the Zaurus to your PC via USB cable & wait 30 seconds. Load My Computer Click Tools then Map Network Drive Select the drive you want to be used to identify the Zaurus, e.g. Z drive. Enter the following '\\192.168.129.201\home' in the Folder box. (Use the IP address of your Zaurus) Click Finnish The Zaurus should now appear alongside all the other disk drives, double click on it & you should be presented with a list of all the Zaurus drives. You should be able map individual Zaurus drives or directories if you want, you can even create shortcuts. Word of warning: Please remember to close any My Computer or Windows Explorer Windows that are pointing at the Zaurus, before you close the link. Mike |

Should have made it clear in my original post, the connection uses the standard Sharp USB cable.
It should be possible to do this over WiFi & Ethernet, I just find it more convenient to use the standard cable. Mike |
