I've been looking at the specs and am still a little confused and I just wanted to make sure. As some of you know, I run a website on using the Zaurus as a pen-test device:
http://irongeek.com/i.php?submenu=zaurus/z...urus/zaurusmain (http://irongeek.com/i.php?submenu=zaurus/zaurusheader&page=zaurus/zaurusmain)
Well, I fucked up and fried my old 5500 and am thinking of getting a sl-c1000. Here are my questions:
1. Can I still use my old 5500 charger on the c1000? I want to have a charger at work and at home so I was going to reuse the old one.
2. If I understand right, the c1000 had 128MB or ROM where it stores the OS and apps I can install. It also has 64MB ram besides that. Is that correct? I use to alwats run out of space on root on my 5500 (16MB ROM for root I think) and had to ipgk-link everything to RAM, is that less of a problem now?
Thanks.

1. The C1000 has a charger which is the same as a Sony PSP charger. If the 5500 is also the same as the PSP charger, then yes the 5500 and the C1000 have the same charger.
2. Yes.

I use my 5500 charger on my C1k without any problems.

As above, you can use the 5500 charger and yes you have 128MB ROM and 64MB RAM.
The C-1000 comes with a Japanese-only 100V charger that isn't supposed to be used outside of Japan, but has been reported as working in the USA by some people. As I'm in England, I had to buy the PSP charger for it... Or you could use a PSP sync/charge USB cable which is even more handy - I did that as well.

Mine C1000 I bought from www.pulster.de came with EA75 adapter which is Input 100-240V 50-60Hz Output 5V 1A.

OK, to clear up any confusion:
As I understand it, if you buy an SL-C1000 from Japan, or from PriceJapan, you will get a tiny PSU which is the EA-72 (100V, 50/60Hz, 11VA input, 5.0V, 1.0A output). This has plugs suitable for the Japanese market, apparently, and is rated at 100V. I don't know if it's suitable for use in the USA, but the previous owner of my 1000 did use it in the USA with an adaptor.
If you buy an SL-C1000 from any reseller such as Conics, Dynamism, Figlabs, Pulster, ShirtPocket, Streamline, Trisoft or anyone else who knows what they're doing and understands their obligations, you will get a worldwide PSU suitable for use anywhere in the word when used with appropriate converter plugs. Figlabs provide the Sony PSP charger and have taken the 1000/PSP charger through CE mark certification, most others to the best of my knowledge provides a Sharp EA-70 - Trisoft have taken the EA-70/SL-Cxx00 through CE mark certification.
The EA-70s is a lump which needs a "figure of 8" lead from the plug socket to the PSU. The rating is 100-240v input, 50/60Hz, with 5.0V DC 2.0A output.
The EA-75 is the charger that comes with the 3100. This is a charger with japanese-style plug moulded into it, so for use in other markets I think you need a plug adaptor. Interestingly, it is only rated for 1.0A output rather than 2.0A.
Sorry to give such a long answer to a simple question, but I'm trying to get to the bottom of what is supplied in the box with every model. I hope it helps somewhat.

The adaptor I got with the C3100 (purchased from PriceJapan) is an international one ( 100-240V) and it works great (without any plug adaptor) in Canada...
-
Oh cool, cheers for that. Do you happen to know if the Canadian socket is the same as the Japanese one? I guess the answer is yes...
-
The 3100 model is special
this is the only one (with some 6000) with an international charger in the box basically
i've bought mine in japan and i had an international charger in the box, and this is the only model i've received this
