« on: April 03, 2005, 10:16:56 pm »

Been looking at BT cards for the Z C3000... just wondering which one of these is the best to get in terms of working with new bluez stack and battery life?

Planning to connect it to sonyericsson T630 for GPRS.


- Socket Pocket PC Bluetooth SD Card
- Socket CF Bluetooth Card
- Blue Monkey CF Bluetooth Adaptor
- AnyCom Blue CF-300 Compact Flash Card
- Belkin Bluetooth PDA CF Card

thanks in advance!

« on: March 31, 2005, 05:57:18 am »

Thank you Mammothrept!!!

My (one week old) Z crashed out on me

it was flashing at high speeds

grep: /var/lib/pcmcia/stab: No such file or directory.

a CTRL-C would reboot it and same thing again and again!

Just got it back into factory reset mode and now converting everything over back to english.

C1000/3x00 General discussions / C3000 And Os X? Also N00b Q's

« on: March 24, 2005, 02:42:16 am »

just received the new c3000 from pricejapan and what a fantastic machine it is... just in time as this weekend is a 4 day long weekend for aussies in sydney... lots of time for hacking away

has anyone here successfully connected their c3000 to their mac (panther) via the usb driver? have you by chance synced ok using zmacsync (for ical and z calender) ?
previously ive used my sl-5500 happily with osx...

wanted to get the socket/sprectrum card in aus but could not find it anywhere at a good price... found 2 online stores that would take 10 days to procure and were charging ~$250AUD for it!?!?!?! so got the dlink 660W instead.... haven't used it much (at work now) but will connect to AP tonight at home....

1 more q... has anyone done this font change on the 3000? http://conics.net/shp/pda/zaurus-sl-c700/kaikan.html

is it ok to do ? work ok?

thanks for your help

Sharp ROMs / can you stop losing everything when you hard reset?

« on: May 06, 2004, 08:25:45 pm »

Sharp ROMs / can you stop losing everything when you hard reset?

« on: May 06, 2004, 07:12:19 pm »

im using the tkcROM...

the only prob i have with it, is if it crashes, and do do a reset, or take the battery out, you lose all your progs installed, settings, everything...

the restore restores the settings, but not all the progs and things you installed...

how can i enable this on tkcROM... in know OZ has small jjfs filesystem for this?
