Apologies in advance for the basic nature of the question.
I have a new 3100 as sold in Japan (i.e., no English language conversion) and want to backup the rom / microdrive before I start using it. The purpose of the backup is to restore the system to the original state.
I would appreciate it if someone could educate me or point me in the right direction.

(By the way, Sharp decided to include an international adapter with this version. I understand that there was a domestic power adapter in previous versions.)

Johnny,
simply do a NAND-Backup like described in our SL-C1000/3000
manual : http://www.trisoft.de/en_c1000howto.htm (http://www.trisoft.de/en_c1000howto.htm)
Backing up the MicroDrive contents is not neccessary. All what's
on the MicroDrive is also on the 3 CDs that came with the unit.
And if you're not a Japanese speaker, the contents are useless
for you.
For localisation, there's a first backup set available:

Have fun with your new Zaurus,

Congrats on your new unit! The community here is tight and i am very happy to see a international power plug available. When i purchased my c1000, i was a bit disabointed about my adaptor but i ordered a new one from streamline which works with mines. So Good Luck and happy forum/software hunting.
---people here are very helpfull.

Dear Marc,
Thank you for your generosity and for the great information. I realize that TRIsoft sells the Zaurus. Were it not for the fact that shipping electronics into Russia is a bit tricky and that a friend was flying back from Tokyo, TRIsoft would have been my first choice. I'll remember when Sharp releases the next version in a few months. I have some friends in Frankfurt I need to visit. (Actually, I do speak Japanese.)
Dear Cresho,
Thanks for the welcome! I sincerely appreciate the sentiment. It looks like you've bought more than one Zaurus. I know who to ask if I have future questions.
Cheers,
~ J

thanks, because I forgot to do a backup, and I've been diddleing for days now, is no sleep for days normal with ownership of a new z?
