Mac and Z user chiming in. I'm using my Tosa (Sl-6000) for a few odds 'n' ends these days, but I'm so bored by the lack of anything happening in the Z world. This is the first time I've checked these forums in months. ROM development for the Tosa has all but stopped (Angstrom seems to be interesting, though), and the things I enjoy about using OS X are but a distant dream on the Z. I like tinkering, but sometimes I really just want things to be simple.

I've thought about selling the Tosa. I've thought about getting an iPhone. And I guess what I'd really like is a Zaurus that runs OS X. I suspect I'll use my Z as long as it continues to serve my basic portable needs, and then finally get an Apple PDA if it ever appears.

One more point of view:

Mac user and Zaurus (pdaXrom / weeXpc) user and developer here.
I regularly connect both devices via network (WLAN) and sync files using Chronosync on the Mac. This works just great.

However, I do not (yet) use the calendar or address book on the Mac, because I use those on the Zaurus (KO/PI and KA/PI under pdaXrom, not DTM) and am quite happy with them.

However, Once in a while I have the need to heavily edit the databases of both programs, which is cumbersome on the Zaurus due to its slower speed and smaller screen.
Also, sometimes when I'm working on the Mac I would like to just have access to the calendar or address book without looking for the Zaurus, switching it on and starting the PIMs.

So, I would very much like to sync KA/PI and KO/PI with the Mac in addition to the directories I sync now.

I would not necessarily need to sync with the Mac's built-in programs, if KO/PI and KA/PI would be available as Mac versions. I would then rather sync Kx/PI for Mac with Kx/PI on zaurus, which would probably work flawlessly.

Of course, it's possible to run KO/PI and KA/PI Windows versions on a Windows installation under Parallels under Mac OS, but that's again too cumbersome for my taste.


So these main questoins remain:

Did anyone attempt to compile KDEPIM/PI 2.2.7 on the Mac already?

Are there reliable solutions for syncing KDEPIM/PI with the Mac's calendar and address book?

I've just joined the ranks of a Mac user, so I use Mac at work, Linux and windows at home, have a Zaurus 6000, 3100 and a palm T3.

I came looking for the cdc driver, seeing as how when I plugged 3100 (running Angstrom) it reported

Mac and Zaurus 5500 user here.

I have not had a need for my Zaurus for awhile now but I still fire it up when I am running a backup. I used to use it for email and surfing at work and traveled with a modem. The iPhone will do what I used to need it for. I am hoping a 12" Macbook Pro will surface.

Mac user here too, I develop applications for OS X, I only have Image Resize application under my belt right now.  I don't really sync my Z with the computer, I do transfer files though.  It's good to see other mac users out there.
