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 |

Yeah, I've mapped my CF and SD drives on the Zaurus in Windows this way.
The only problem is, Windows for some reason takes the amount of free Flash memory as the amount that's free on all the drives. I.e. though I have 200 meg free on the CF I can't copy a 100 meg file to it, because there's only 20 meg free flash and Windows tells me that that's the amount of free space on the CF as well? Anyone know if this can be fixed? |
