Here is the basic license agreement.http://www-306.ibm.com/software/sla/sladb....nDocument&Seq=1

All that says is that Opera is a third party app and subject to a separate license agreement.

General Discussion / help on usb driver

« on: January 12, 2004, 06:23:05 pm »

Assuming you\'re using the 3.x ROM, did you change the connection in Zaurus Manager to \"USB - TCP/IP (advanced)\"??

IIRC, the SL Series networking device does not show up if you\'re using \"USB - I/O (default)\".

Windows Issues / SL-5600 AND Palm through Intellisynch?

« on: January 07, 2004, 04:26:29 pm »

Haven\'t tried this combo myself, but you should be able to use Palm\'s Intellisync and choose the Zaurus conduit.  Sharp\'s version of Intellisync doesn\'t display other conduits.

I\'ve successfully sync\'d between the Zaurus and Yahoo! using Intellisync for Yahoo! and choosing the Zaurus conduit.  I know that it worked on the 2.x ROMs -- I can\'t remember if I tested it after upgrading to 3.x.

Of course, you can always bite the bullet & install MS Outlook and sync the two devices to that app.

Speaking of wireless Printing... Has anybody heard any more about the PrintMe service announcement that Sharp made at last year\'s CES show??

Accessories / 5500 Wireless SD cards?

« on: January 05, 2004, 04:35:16 pm »

The Zaurus doesn\'t support SD-IO, only SD-RAM, so your only choice is to use the SD slot for memory, and the CF slot for accessories, such as WiFi.

the trend net u mentioned works on sharp zaurus rom also.

I had to edit /etc/pcmcia/config for the Sharp 3.10 ROM in order to get it to recognize this card, but once I added an entry for it, it works perfectly.

For encrypted mobipocket files you need, believe it or not, mobipocket. DRM 8^(. I believe someone cracked the scheme but within an hour of me finding the post all records of it had been expunged - even google had removed it.

TimW, see if you can contact the author of this post to get what you\'re looking for:

General Discussion / funny story.... involving .profile

« on: December 31, 2003, 12:55:27 am »

So, I accidentally deleted my .profile file on my zaurus sl-5500.  I can\'t seem to find a copy anywhere.  Help would be greatly appreciated!

If you ever find yourself in a position where you need the original copy of a file, on the Sharp ROM there are 3 hidden tar files in /root that are used to restore everything after a full reset: .dev_default.tar, .home_default.tar, and .var_default.tar

.profile is in .home_default.tar and untars to /home/root

Windows Issues / sync 3.10 ROM with Outlook 2000 on XP problem

« on: December 18, 2003, 09:20:16 pm »

Have you tried to isolate the problem by syncing only one set of PIM data (calendar, task list, email, notes, address book) at a time?  Go into the Intellisync Config program on your PC, and clear the check marks for all except one PIM.  If you are able to sync OK, try each of the PIM data sets in turn until you find the one causing the problem.  Sometimes \"bad\" data (such as an embedded OLE object) in a record can prevent the sync from working.  If you can identify which PIM is causing the problem, you may be able to find the bad record.

Assuming that you don\'t have any info in the PIMs on the Z that you don\'t also have in Outlook, you may want to try to click on \"Clear Sync Info\" in the PCLink app on the Z, then go into the Intellisync Config and choose \"Import\" for each of the PIMs.  This will overwrite the data in the Zaurus PIMs, in case the data there is screwed up.

Hint: Googling \"Zaurus NTP\" turned up several hits.

It looks like there is a copy of ntpdate here, with instructions:

(use Babelfish to translate)

I found a beta copy of qpe-ndate, with source code, here:

I haven\'t tested these, so use at your own risk...
