Title: SL-C860
Post by: gullevek on December 08, 2003, 02:37:25 am

Hi,

Since 2 weeks I am a proud owner of a Zaurus SL-C860. I didn\'t have much time to play around (last Sunday was my Japanese Test) but now I will get some time to look into the details of these thing.

Up to now I am very happy. Great display, quite good software, but I will see.

Next thing I hae to get a WLAN card to get online with my Zaurus and then I will see. There is a lot of Software, but most (or almost all) is for the US 5xxx series. The Software for the 860/7x0 is most in japanese, hidden in japanese pages.

so things I need to find out are: libSDL & scummvm so it works on the SL series, getting the qtopia SDK working and perhaps playing around a bit with it. and if I am brave enough (I already have a 16MB CF card) I need to try OpenZaurus.

greetings from Japan.

okay, I will do it at home. but I need some days until I get internet back at home. I am right now in the middle of provider change [in japan almost every month the providers double or tripple their speed and cut the prices ...]

gullevek,

Can you confirm if the C860 can still do TCP/IP over USB even in the presence of the Zaurus Drive (USB Mass Storage Device) feature?  (i.e. can you establish a TCP/IP connection between your Z and your PC; e.g. telnet; ftp; ssh; etc.?)

Thanks!

I put the 860 rom on to my 760 and the USB connection will work as either TCP/IP, USB I/O or USB Mass Storage. You can only select one of the modes at any time.

]I put the 860 rom on my 760

how did you do that???  Does everything else work?  I imagine it\'s the Japanese Rom which you reworked???

I renamed the 860\'s NAND backup to SYSTC760.DBK and it flashed just fine!
 
As far as my Zaurus is concerned, it\'s an 860 now! Everything works just fine
