Has anyone had success syncing with outlook, intellisync, and OZ 3.3.5?
I flashed the new rom, got USB networking fine (can ping both directions), but when I start the sync, the Zaurus flashes to its syncing screen and back very quickly, and intellisync quits by saying that the version of intellisync on the zaurus doesn\'t match.
Most links to intellisync point to (the now dead?) zaurus.com, and the only downloads at myzaurus.com all point to the v3 ROM software. Even the \"pre-version 3\" links ultimately link to the same binaries.
I\'ve gone through all of the old cd\'s I could get my hands on, but no version seems to work.
Anybody else in the same boat as me?
Thanks,
Brad

Sorry, can\'t answer your question, but I am also getting my 860 up and running. How did you get the usb working with OZ? Could you give me a run down of what all you did. I\'d really appreciate it.
Also, what are you trying to sync with?
-
USB was easy. Used (what I thought was v2) ROM installer from Sharps\'s myzaurus.com, and followed the process as directed. At the end, I had a SL-5500 as network device 4 on my XP box. Switched it from DHCP to static IP configuration, and had the magic 192.168.129.201 (or whatever) IP address cnfigured. Now the zaurus in its cradle could ping the host XP box, and the host could ping the Zaurus.
I didn\'t get nameservers set up on the Zaurus, just the basic networking.

-
Do you have a link to the ROM Installer that you mentioned? Is it just a new rom for your sl-5500 or what?
Also, what software/driver did you use on the XP box?
-
Well, I followed the download links from the www.myzaurus.com page to get to the Sharp software updates. I followed the links to the pre-version 3 files, but that seems irrelevant. From there there are separate installation files. Some are for device ROMs, but the intellisync updates seem to contain the USB driver and the intellisync programs. FYI, I couldn\'t get these intellisyncs to work with OZ 3.3.5.

Let my memory is lost on me, the IntelliSync problems were caused by some opie-taskbar update I\'ve seen for the Hentges Opie compile on 1.0.2, good for the old kernel. Maybe Mickeyl has a better clue, or even better a compiled version for 1.0.2?
-
Is this what you need?
ROM Version: 2.37
Synchronization software version: 1.43(Intellisync)

oreo,
I think that link provides the same binary as the link for v3 ROMs. I could be wrong, but from my analysis of the URLs, sharp looks to be doing some sharing. Once installed, it shows a different version number. Perhaps it is correct however, if I am actually seeing the issue that mussi refers to.
mussi,
Thanks for the tip. I saw a reference to 1.0.2 taskbar issues where somebody was providing a new package to fix intellisync issues. I wasn\'t going to chase it as it seemed to be about a month old. I\'ll look into it tonight and post my progress here.
Thanks,
Brad

OZ is beautiful, but this problem solving reminds me why I\'d switched back to my palm v. If it were for my home machine, evolution, multisync, or kitchensync would suffice. But since its for my work, I\'m stuck on Outlook. In fact, I\'m not sure why Sharp never just took the source code to the gnome-pilot code and wrote the Zaurus as a server, emulating a Palm. Think of all the tools that would work with it!
Ranting aside. I tried the ipkg\'s from Hentges.net, opie-security and opie-taskbar, with no success. I then installed the intellisync in oreo\'s link, and also no success. All the same symptoms \"wrong intellisync version\".
So then I installed the 1.7.0 QtopiaDesktop, and tried syncing with outlook. Todo syncs fine. Calendar syncs to 97% completion and crashes (but leaves dups in the qtopia desktop). Contacts sync about 50%, and then repeatedly tells me that Outlook will ask for permission to modify contacts, but never does. Skip or abort, either way, QD crashes.
That\'s too bad for sharp, and perhaps the biggest downfall in general. Look at the PPC users, palm users. They crab but use klunky applications, but if a PDA doesn\'t sync, that\'s the end of the road. I\'ll check back after the next release of OZ/OPIE
Thanks for the help,
Brad

I\'ve not tried with OZ3.3.5, but Intellisync certainly worked fine (well as fine as it does ;-)) with OZ3.2
Grab the SetupI.exe file from here, it\'s in there:

Hy Folks,
I´ve from tkcRom to Opie/OZ 1.02/3.3.5 changed.
In addition I also the complete Syncsoftware \"Intellisync\"
deinstalled from my PC (Win XP).
Likewise I cleaned the Registry and deleted the folder \"Sharp\" from the
common files.
Afterwards I inst the old (think that was 1.43g Intellisyncsoftware).
But wars I no more net adapter (slzndxxx) installs. The
WMA is already installed, but no more the net adapter!!
Cannot also more ping, neither of the PC, nor from Z. Perhaps can
someone help me there??
The Registry-Entries for
\"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet002EnumRootMS_PSCHEDMP\0000\"
wanted to delete . There the \"SL Series (NDIS 5)#2 -package planner minport\" entry.
Cannot be deleted
Likewise the
\"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet002EnumSLZ1CR\".
Cannot be deleted just as.
Think it is because of the two Registry-Entries. But how war I those
away??
Or does someone know which better?

I then installed the intellisync in oreo\'s link, and also no success. All the same symptoms \"wrong intellisync version\".
Oh there\'s an easy fix for that problem:
mkdir /home/root/systeminfo && echo \"1.13\" ]/home/root/systeminfo/linkver
-
The
WMA is already installed, but no more the net adapter!!
WMA? I presume this is one of the drivers? You need to make sure that bopth of the drivers which came with the tkcROM are uninstalled. Then when you plug in your Z with OZ, Windows will say it\'s found a device and install two sets of drivers.

oreo, mickeyl,
Good stuff! Houston, we have sync! Contacts, calendar look great. Mail-it is crashing with a SIGSEGV at startup. Is this why folks dig qtmail?
Thanks again,
Brad

A new mail client [codename: OpieMail3] - written from scratch - is underway and will probably released around new year is in the works. Featuring imap,pop3,smtp,ssl,etc.

I think its dead. I was so happy to have my Zaurus sync working, that I went into packages, and saw that the feed now has an \"updated filter\". Assuming I knew what this meant, I selected all the items, hit apply changes, ignored the confirmation, and proceeded to remove 8 critical packages from the system, including libc.
So I thought, what the heck, reflash. I reflashed it, powered it on, and forgot about it overnight. Came back this morning to a very warm Zaurus, instructing me to tap anywhere to begin. No taps worked, nothing worked. Recycled the power, and still stuck with an unresponsive \"tap anywhere\" to begin. Ok, no problem. Hard reset, and it won\'t get past the OpenZaurus fb logo and \"booting...\". Uh-oh. Tried a re-flash, only green LED, not both showing up. Tried other CF cards, only green LED. Now I can\'t get any response from the unit, aside from that green LED staring me in the eyes.
Might have to spend some more $$, dunno.

including libc
In that case you are stuck and will have to reflash.

Who is quoted with saying \"insanity is trying the same thing over and over, in the hopes that you will receive a different outcome\"? Well, my insanity paid off. Four or five flash attempts later, and with only a green LED while flashing, the system awoke, configured its new packages, and gave me a fresh OZ!
On my way again....

Which USB drivers should I use ? I have changed from Tkcrom to OZ 3.3.5. I removed intellisync from cd 3.13 cd and installed the one proviced from sharp.co.uk. But What about the usb driver ? I do not get my zaurus and Pc to see each other. Could some one point me to the right usb driver ?
My pc IP is 192.168.0.2, and I have gone to the security app and I have configured any ip to access the zaurus. I have changed on the network app the IP from the zaurus to 192.168.0.201 (is this needed ) which gateway should I put (the one that my pc uses or my pc ip )
Please help me
Edited: Zaurus connection does not show as net interface. But on the zaurus I see that Ethernet (usbd0) is up.

I have a similar problem as yakito above. Maybe yakito is using DHCP with Win2k as i am.
I\'ve gotten the Z to sync at home with win2k using a static IP, then just adding another IP for the Z to talk to. With DHCP that\'s not possible.
So i\'m wondering...Intellisync adds a network device when installed in Win9x, but doesn\'t seem to in Win2k(XP?). Is there a workaround for this?
Thanks in advance.

Help! I just got OZ 3.3.5 in a state I like except for sync\'ing. I have tried to sync on both
Win XP and Win 98 to no avail. Can someone point me to some diagnostic messages that
should help me out? Currently, I\'m stuck getting the \"Put the Zaurus on the Docking Station
, and click [OK]\" message. I press \"OK\" and then press the \"Sync\" button on the cradle.
the \"Put the Zaurus on the Docking Station, and click [OK]\" window freezes for 20 secs and
then comes active again and no luck - no sync\'ing
Please help! This would make my life much better.

Guest,
The problem most likely is due to hotplug...it seems that Win doesn\'t recognize the device with the latest hotplug. Here\'s how you can tell:
Check the device manager to see if you have an SLNdis network adapter...if not...then there\'s no chance of syncing.
Uninstall hotplug (ipkg remove hotplug), grab hotplug from the open zaurus 3.2 feed, and install it. before trying to sync, remove all zaurus software from your windows computer, then reinstall using the intellisync from your CD....NOT the latest intellisync software from the web.
once you stick your Z in the cradle, you should finally get the ndis network adapter...if not i may have another workaround...

<Sigh> I should have read this before flashing. Couldn\'t get USB to work with 3.3.5, so flashed to 3.2. Still no joy. I\'ve gone back to the SHARP Rom (3.13) for the time being.......
-
I followed this thread and managed to get syncing working fine with XP and 3.3.5
mickeyl - I am keen to know more about opiemail3 you mention as one of the only things holding me back staying with OZ is the need for SMTP authentication for mail sending.
Any update on the availability?
many thanks

Is there a way to use Intellisync 3.2E (that comes with the Sharp 3.10 ROM) with OZ 3.3.5 and Opie 1.0.2? I\'ve tried just about everything I can think of including the Bahia USB Network driver.
-
OpieMail3 is in the ipaq 5th toe feed (http://opie.handhelds.org/feed/ipaq/5thtoe) and perhaps (I\'m not sure, I\'m not the OpenZaurus packager anymore) in the unstable zaurus feed. It will be the default e-mail client of Opie 1.2 - all other will be moved to unsupported.
-
mickey, you are a genius. you just saved me! i hope ... sync still going ...
edit: yes, it worked. next time you get down to freiburg, that would be worth a free beer.
