Windows Issues / Synch to Office 2003

« on: April 03, 2004, 06:44:43 am »

I\'ve noticed on my C860 running Cacko rom that I can sync with Office 2003 by setting the pc link to USB - I/O on both the pc and Zaurus.  When I set the pc link to USB - TCP/IP the sync looks like its going to work but then fails.  I assumed Intelasync with Office 2003 works over USB - I/O but does not work over USB - TCP/IP.  Syncing my calender and email is very important to me and its not that difficult to switch between the two modes so I just switch as required.  Note that you can not use TCP/IP reliant applications over USB - I/O so if you use such apps (like telnet or ssh) you will need to switch between the two modes.

Hope that helps.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / digitizer for new rom

I had the same problem with that rom on my 860.  I used the keys to set up the left, mid or right mouse click befor touching the screen and that worked well.  I then discovered that by changing the over clock setting to 470 or whatever the next step up is, the hold for right click worked beautifly.

Sharp ROMs / What Qtopia for the Cacko-Qtopia rom?

Oh no... you grabbed the wrong file.  You want \"5500v31u.zip\" not \"5500v310Apps.zip\".  Your file is a little further down the page.  Here try this shortcut \"http://community.zaurus.com/download.php/36/5500v31u.zip\".

Sharp ROMs / What Qtopia for the Cacko-Qtopia rom?

I assume you are running the Cacko/Qtopia ROM or something similar.  I got board with the sharp ROM and installed various other ROMs about ten minutes after receiving my 860 and finally decided on the Cacko/Qtopia ROM.  It is excellent!!  Anyway I got the following instructions from this site (don\'t remember where) but they where effectively as follows and they worked great for me:

1) Install the USB drivers from the C860 Japanese CD that came with your Zaurus.  You do this by making sure the pclink in the Zaurus settings menu is set to \"USB - I/O (default)\".  Then plug the Zaurus into the USB port on your computer.  Windows will recognize the new USB device and when asked for the location of the drivers.  Select the CD rom containing the Japanese CD.  If you\'ve already installed some USB drivers but they aren’t the drivers from the CD then you might want to replace them.  To replace the drivers plug your C860 into the computer, open the device manager on your PC and uninstall the Zaurus USB drivers listed under the USB device section and if present the network section.  Then reinstall the drivers from the CD.
2) Install the latest version of Intellisync.  To do this, download the file called \"5500v31u.zip\" from \"http://community.zaurus.com/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5\".
3) Unzip the file and go to the directory called \"Pcsoft\" then run the setup.exe.  This installs the latest version of Intellisync.  You should now be able to sync.

With this version of Intellisync and the USB drivers that came with your Zaurus you will have Outlook synchronization, file transfer, and by changing the Zaurus PC Link settings from “PC Link Setting” to ”Storage” you’re 98 machine should automatically mount your SD or CF cards as drives.
