I imported from Japan the C3000.
Now I would like to convert my unit to english.
I have seen this topic, but this only refers to CXXX, I think...

Thanks in advanced.

The conversion to English has been discussed here before, here are some threads I could find about this topic:
https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=8527 (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=8527) (which, BTW, confirms that the conics instructions you refer to also apply on the C3000 Zaurus).
https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showt...t=0&#entry73009 (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=11019&pid=73009&st=0&#entry73009) (which you may save on your hard drive for later use, just in case. The 2nd paragraph deals with English conversion).
You can also find a backup of an English-converted 3000 here:
http://www.trisoft.de/en_c3000howto.htm (http://www.trisoft.de/en_c3000howto.htm)
If you restore that backup, you should get a fully converted 3000 (didn't test this myself, though...)
One last conversion solution I can think of would be reflashing the Cacko ROM for the 3000. Right now it's in alpha stage only, but you should soon be able to get it once it reaches beta stage (probably before the end of April 2005), the ROM is entirely converted to English with nice addons like the KeyHelper applet and CyrKeyboard if you need to type non-ASCII (i.e. accented, for instance) characters... You'll find more informations about the Cacko ROM for the 3000 Zaurus here (http://bryandeluca.com/cacko/c3000/) (no download yet).
Hope this helps... Happy conversion!
