Mac Issues / Better MacZSync?

« on: August 13, 2004, 01:44:16 pm »

Two packges must run on the device:
* zdbat to access the Sharp DTM database
* openssh to access the Zaurus from the Mac

Thanks for the response, I have openssh running, it was installed using the IPK from the software index site package, the client and server do work. I've tested this, SSH'd into my PowerBook, from the Powerbook, SCP'd in both directions as well  

I will search for zdbat now.

Mac Issues / Better MacZSync?

« on: August 09, 2004, 02:10:17 pm »

As a zaurus newbie, just a few days old. I have the sharp rom 1.40 JP - it was an import from shirtpocket.

I am interested in if the MacSync progs work with this rom, or if anyone has tried to use them ??

Regards,

Ket

Thanks for posting. I'm replying from a wireless connection in a pub at paddington station !!  

Got the C860 two days ago and am over the moon with it.

Poer drain on the wireless card is harsh, but the device rocks. I don't know if I can get Opera running on the original sharp rom. But apache is set up.

I need som advice on setting up adevelopment environment so I can compile basiv unix progs. But I feel so happy to be amongst a good zaurus group  

Couldn't make the linux doo up norf,but hope all that go, have fun.

Yeah, I'm based in London (north), but travel through the centre regularly, and work a lot on the se coast,  as well in the s.west.

I bit the bullet and ordered the 860 through shirtpocket this morning, ordered a bluetooth and WiFi module with it.

Will be moving to Reading next month, so wondered what developments there were on a gathering ??

Hi All,

I'm soon to be joining the ranks of the UKZUG .. I've been looking for a 'decent' pda for a while, and job dictates I have something very soon, which I can network and SSH into remote servers.

Open Source is the big upside !

I'm dithering between the 5xxx, 6xxx and the 860, although it seems most users are upgrading to the 860.

Any advice on a good model ?
