Just a note on the 1amp-2amp concern.
The fact that a given power supply is rated @ 2amps means that it can supply a TOTAL of 2amps to whatever device it is plugged up to. If the device, (in this case your C760), only "requests" 1amp to charge correctly then this is all that it uses. The power supply itself does not FORCE more amperage than the device "requests" so it is always safe to use a power supply that supplies more amperage than is needed. As a matter of fact it is good practice to use a power supply that is rated at least slightly above whatever amperage you need. (I won't go into why this is so, just trust me on this one- my posts are always long and that explanation would make this a world class read!)
Now as an important disclaimer so nobody goes and flubs their unit up, please notice I said AMPS and not VOLTAGE! It is NOT appropriate to use anything except the correct Voltage specification when choosing a power supply. Unlike the amperage issue the Power Supply WILL FORCE whatever voltage it is rated at upon your device. Gratefully most electronics devices are built to be very forgiving when dealing with voltage fluctuations and the Z's are no exception. It's why you can see ppl on the boards here using various chargers that rate up to 5.2V or so with no problems. It's also why you can use 4 alkaline 1.5v batteries in a "battery brick" without screwing up things totally. But remember- don't EVER push the voltage thing too far, and going beyond 5v for ANY reason may put your Z at risk!
As you noticed from the Trisoft and Streamline posts, they both recommend the EA-70(s) for this very reason. It is also why if you use a 2amp power supply that the charger can charge your batteries much faster than a 1amp charger. As long as the battery charger is rated at 2 amps, then it will pull a full 2amps from a power supply. Likewise if that same 2amp rated charger has only a 1amp power supply hooked to it it would LIKE to have 2amps but will make do with just 1amp...but it will take it much longer to do the job. The output AMPERAGE is not the criminal in this power supply debate.
Before anyone blasts me, YES wattage and heat dissapation do play a role here but not a fundamentally important one for the end user. A slight over simplification to anyone reading this is simply that the FASTER (more amperage used) your charger charges (like when the 2amp charger is hooked to a 2amp power supply) the more heat it will create in a shorter amount of time. Likewise if the same charger only can get 1amp from the power supply less heat is created in the same amount of time BUT either way the same amount of heat will be dissapated during the charge cycle. One just gets hotter faster. So if you pull your battery out of the charger when using a 2amp power supply- don't freak that it feels so much warmer than it did with the 1amp power supply at the end of it's cycle. When discussing the options listed in this thread heat shouldn't be an issue for you to worry about.
In closing, the major dangers of using certain power supplies are whether the OUTPUT VOLTAGE is appropriate, and the AMPERAGE is sufficient. We've discussed the Voltage issue. If you choose a charger that has INSUFFICIENT amperage, such as 0.3amp you will end up with your Zaurus never having enough amperage to fully charge the battery (and the light may never go out), or it may never charge the battery at all or even turn on.
The moral of this story for US Power Supply/Charging issues with the Clamshell line is this: Choose a Power Supply that has an output of EXACTLY 5 VOLT DC current and AT LEAST the minimum amperage of your clamshell specifies (not sure what it is on a C760, I think they're all the same but I'm not sure- it'll be written on the bottom of your device or near the DC in port).
Since the EA-70/EA-70S both put out EXACTLY 5v DC 2amp at ANY input AC 100v-240V then you are on rock solid ground here in the US.
You can buy these very inexpensively off of Ebay and various other sources around the net, as well as through TriSoft and Streamline CPU's. So if you just don't understand all the in's or out's of what all this mean just stick to the EA-70-EA-70S model power supply. If you DO understand then knock yourself out and if you brick it, or fry the charging circuit you can't blame anybody but yourself. (A dismal feeling that I have had MANY times when I talked myself into a moment of idiocy so BELIEVE me I can relate.)
