I have C860 and make it dual boot to zdebian per this instruction http://zaurusfun.4t.com/index.html.  With zdebian you can install gcc and compile code.

Accessories / Back Charging

« on: July 20, 2004, 11:05:57 am »

omega, nothing is 100% in electronics world. I am talking about if some one pick a charger that is not very accurate, let say it charge 1.45 V. That 0.05 Volt will not be any different for battery. But when the sum of 4 cells, it will add another 0.2 volt to 5.6 V which will be 5.8 V. That is something. I know that the case is rare. But I try to point out that using 4 AA NiMH alone without any protection circuit or regulator has some risk in it.

Most of the charger will charge NiMH with around 1.4 Volt. For the 4 cells of fullly charge will yield around 5.6 V. This kind of device normally we should not go higher than 5.5 V But consider the voltage will drop when  on load,so it should be ok. One of the concern is, if on the bad day, some one pick up a bad charger that charge the battry more than 1.4 V.  Without any protection circuit at all between batteries and Zaurus, The unit  can be harmed.

The fast and saftest way to do a conversion is to read http://www.trisoft.de/pdf/c750qse.pdf on how to do a localisation on Page 16. Then restore this backup file http://www.trisoft.de/download/C860-2004-01-19-12-48.zip. This way the ROM is still original.

I bought c860 from pricejapan.com on 2 Jul ship it to USA and got it on 6 Jul. Consider the weekend and holiday. It is pretty fast. Cost me $656 include shipping which is consider cheap. But have to do english conversion by myself which is very easy by follow the instruction on http://trisoft.de  That make me a newbie here.
