For which Zaurus device????  You want to include the device (and sometimes the system ROM version) in your postings.

Have you tried http://myzaurus.com/downloads.asp (http://myzaurus.com/downloads.asp) ?

Yes and thanks for the response.  It 'appears' you are getting the 6000 ....then, when you view the executable, you see its for the 5500.

sharonz,

I still don't know which Zaurus model you are looking for software for...  If it is the SL-5500 / SL-5600 then go to http://myzaurus.com (http://myzaurus.com) and 'Downloads'.  If it is the SL-6000 then don't go there.

If the model you have is the SL-6000L (USA) then I think Sharp is hosting this at SharpUSA.  I just went through registration at
http://sharpusa.com/zregister (http://sharpusa.com/zregister)
and I was eventually able to navigate to
http://sharpusa.com/products/TypeSoftware/0,1086,112,00.html (http://sharpusa.com/products/TypeSoftware/0,1086,112,00.html)
which is 'Products & Support' ... Business ... Handhelds .. Zaurus Enterprise Mobile Tool ... Software
and download hpc_soft_installcd.exe

I don't yet know if this is the correct file since I'm not running Windows to unpack it.  

Good luck

Thanks again Lumi, yes - that's what I downloaded earlier yesterday....it's actually for the 5500.  Also, sorry for not giving a direct answer yesterdday.....my model is the SL-6000.  

Good news, however.......Sharp support did respond via email and here is their input---- >  Check at     www.sdgsystems.com    for the software you are looking for.
