Hmm, translation doesn\'t seem to do much of anything. But the picture looks amazingly like a 7500 attached to monitor, keyboard and mouse, now if it is and if it ever gets packaged as a commercial venture, then - cor !
Your zaurus becomes your desktop :-)
All it needs is support for an external usb harddrive with an alternate os (ie win98se or desktop linux) that supports printers and waheey :-)

wow, so a board based docking station like thing for the zaurus  - just plug in the serial port to the DS and you get a VGA monitor, keyboard etc on your mini-laptop.

That woul be a great commercial add-on to the Zaurus. As I keep using my C750, I seem to be able to depend more and more on it for much of my daily work - now a docking station like thing will be just the thing we all need to convert the zaurus to a mobile laptop king of thing. And I guess for those enterprise users of SL-6000, it would be even more of a value add.

Hehe, here\'s another idea:
SL-6000, with the usb host attached to a hub, plugged into a keyboard and mouse.
Then, a VGA card in the CF slot (like the Margi card) hooked up to an external monitor.
Instant desktop.
