I was hoping to install some camera software so I could connect my camera to the Zaurus while we are visiting family this weekend. 

But, I won't be able to get a SD card by then. 

Is there another way to get files back and forth without using internet?

Yes only the SD card (formatted at FAT) and CF acrd will show up as storage when you change PC LInk to storage mode. The internal flash does not show as storage on Windows.

The ony 2 other ways would be
1) get a Mini USB cable which accepts USB for the Zaurus and then you can plug in a USB stick (if you have one) and move files to/from the Zaurus and Windows computer

2) Load the Zaurus desktop software (there are version compatibility issues and it works only with Sharp ROM maybe) and then internal flash can be accessed also thru the Desktop software to transfer files. Of course you need to install drivers first.
(But it seems this method is not working for you because of driver issues)

Formatted at FAT?   Will the usb host cable work to hook zaurus to usb stick?

Ok, I ordered a 1GB SD card from Outpost.com and will get it tomorrow.  I hope I can now transfer files back and forth.

I meant formatted as FAT (not ext3).

Of cousre the Zaurus will mount most USB sticks via the USB host cable.
I do that all the time, where most big files ar on my USB stick (and not on the CF or SD).

But with USB stick, you have to mount the USB stick explicitly. It wont be auto-detected and mounted like a CF or SD card on the zaurus.

Pretty simple really
first make a directory for the USB stick to show up as
mkdir /mnt/usbstick

then mount as
mount -t vfat /dev/sdaX  /mnt/usbstick


Edit : Sorry, just tried on my Zaurus with my Memorex 1 GB stick, and on Cacko ROM, it DOES auto-mount. I dont need to mount is with commandas as I suggested.
Don't know about Sharp ROM though. (its been a long time back since I used Sharp ROM).

Can I move files onto SD card while its in PC, then take it directly and place in Zaurus and have it read the files correctly?   Is it any different then using PC link?

Seriously Fishcube look at the connectivity part of the wiki.  It gives step by step instructions on how to do TCP/IP over USB.  When you connect the Zaurus to the PC the pc will treat the usb connection as a network adapter.  If you give this adapter an ip address of 192.168.129.2 then you will get connectivity to the Z.  With that you can browse to the z through your pc by going to start>run> type in "\\192.168.1.201\"

This will allow you to browse the Z through samba.  As well as ssh, VNC, KO/PI syncing, and more.  The wiki is all knowing..... the wiki is very powerful..... the wiki will make you happy..... the wiki......wiiiiikkkiiiiiiii.

I don't know anything about linux or the Run commands.  or Samba etc.

I need simple way to connect to PC.  Looks like going through SD card will be the simplest.

I know I was in the same boat a couple of years ago  .  But this way is actually more simple than what you are trying right now.  Do the steps on this link

[a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=Network_connection_for_Windows]https://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=Networ...ion_for_Windows[/url]

(half you already done with loading the drivers)

Then on your windows pc go to start on the lower left corner >  go to "run"> then type in the IP address to browse "\\192.168.129.201\."   The concepts here are networking basics and will actually help you with basic concepts of TCP/IP.  Have fun....

When I click on PC start/run, I get box that says to browse drives/files??   IT asks for me to type the name of file/program/documents and windows will open for you.

about drivers, do I need serial or Network?  I'm back to WDM serial I believe.  I need to get the NDIS one back.  Not sure how to?

I take it I need network.  But, for some reason I can only find SL series Ver3 (WDM) ??

This is what it searches for when I plug in the Zaurus to PC.

I've got some music files that are in .cda format.  How do I get them in mp3 format or wma?  so I can transfer to Zaurus?

---

How do I check memory space used and available on the C1000?

---

Can I move icons?  or remove icons from main screen?
