Title: Syncing a SL-5500 With Sharp ROM 3.10
Post by: mikeshoup on September 16, 2004, 11:42:48 pm

I'm trying to sync an SL-5500 in Linux. It is running a sharp rom 3.10. I've installed qtopiadesktop 1.7 from trolltech, no go. I've installed multisync with the Opie/Zaurus plugins. No go. Any help? From what i understand, its supposed to sync through port 4242, but when I try to telnet in, I get connection refused. I have set it up with USB networking, and I can use the vnc server and everything.

Hi,
yes, I read the FAQ, but perhaps a Zaurus Sync. feature added to a another Project? raki, kitchensyn..... ?

Possibly someone works at such a thing ?

There is a project that is reverse engineering the current sync protocol. They have got some way from the last I heard, but are not finished. Can't remember the name of the project though

I moved this topic into this forum, as I find it more fitting. Hope you're fine with that

Cheers

Great analysis!

A question not answered by that document (yet): in which file does the Zaurus save the date of the last sync?

I believe that it uses the modify_date of the file /home/zaurus/Applications/sync_completion for this purpose.
