5x00 General discussions / Help ! How Do I Get Started ?

« on: October 07, 2005, 08:31:10 am »

Hi guys, I hope someone can help me.

I bought a refurbished SL-5500 off Ebay about two weeks ago, and when it arrived it was without the CD, and the Sync Cradle. Eventually, I received the crade from America, but still no CD was supplied. I was instructed to visit the My Zaurus site and download the software from there.

Now this is the part where you must excuse my stupidity/ignorance.

The Zaurus currently has the Sharp ROM 2.38 on it, and I have tried downloading stuff from everywhere to get it to communicate with my PC, but I think that all the versions of Intellisync on the web are for later ROMs and are maybe not compatable with 2.38 ?

I am able to install the NDIS and USB Driver ok, and can ping the Zaurus, but despite trying three different versions of Intellisynce (1.11, 1.43 & s3.xx ??), I cannot sync the thing !

I don't have access to CF Cards so the option of using the ROM upgrade is out.

Am I right in assuming that I need a specific version of Intellisync to work with this ROM (I WILL upgrade this ROM if I ever get the PDA and PC talking) ?
And if so, could some kind soul please point me to a link where I could obtain it ?

I don't want the Zaurus to be a paperweight any longer !

Please help !

Hi there.
 You don't need a CF card to update to ROM 3.1 I did it the other day with no problems. It's when you want to flash the ROM to Opie or OZ that you need a CF card.
