Title: Got C860... now what?
Post by: boggsml on December 09, 2003, 10:14:57 pm

Just got my C860 today!!  

However, my Japanese is REALLY poor (okay, no-existent), so I couldn\'t figure out anything on the CD.

I have machines running Mac OS 10.3, Windows XP, and SuSE 9.0.

I got an Ambicom Wi-Fi CF card for the Zaurus and have the Wi-Fi surfing the web and pingable on my local home network.

Now... I want to get some address book and calendar info synced up to the Zaurus.

Where should I start?  BTW, how can I backup the original ROM and which one should I just to first?

Thanks!

I don\'t think any of the cacko ROMs have been updated for the 860, that\'s usually the easiest way to get a fully englishized ROM.  In the mean time, you could check out these conversion to english instructions (http://www.zaurususergroup.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpWiki&file=index&pagename=BackLinks&page=C-7x0+Sharp+Zaurus+conversion) in our How-To docs area.  

You could also check out these instructions for a nand backup/restore (http://www.zaurususergroup.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpWiki&file=index&pagename=BackLinks&page=NAND+Flash+Restore)

enjoy!

In reference to this post http://www.zaurususergroup.com/index.php?n...viewtopic&t=507 (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=507) Sash is currently working on an update for the C860.
