Title: Where To Find The Basics.
Post by: robinson10 on November 24, 2004, 12:03:24 pm

I'm a fish out of water and lost. I have the c860 and it's beautiful but I can't figure anything out. I've been using a Toshiba e740 for a year and half and have a Windows 98se desktop.

What is a nand? How do I download programs? How do I upgrade the ROM? Are there any sites or books to get me started?
Thanks

well mine came with a english booklet explaining some things.

also a few things your questions are about.

the easiest is programs i think.
there is this site zaurus software index (http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/) with quite a few programs.
you simply download the ipk files, and transfer them to your zaurus, then click on them n the files section and a installer will be started.

NAND is as far as i know the format or method to backup the entire image of your zaurus to a medium.

upgrading the rom i don't know, i'm only just getting started with PDA's and the zaurus myself.

You can download a very good introduction to the C750 from  TriSoft (http://www.trisoft.de/pdf/c750qse.pdf).
