WANTED: Zaurus SL-5600
« on: May 26, 2004, 11:41:15 pm »
Looking to buy a Zaurus 5600.  Being a long time linux user and going through 2 Pocket PC\'s that died on their own(Jornada 568, Ipaq 3835) I am onto a Zaurus.  I am looking for one that is used but still in excellent shape.  Would like to have original box and original accessories.  Please let me know if anyone is selling!  Thank you!

I am in the United States and would pay through Money Order or PayPal if necessary.

Just a heads-up (Caveat Emptor). Not all 5600\'s are created equal. There is a chip flaw in the vast number of 5600\'s that effectively rates them at about 200MHz instead of 400MHz. I\'m no expert on this, but it would really warrant looking around for posts on that topic just so you know what you\'re buying.

Thanks much! I have indeed checked it out and am familiar with the issue.

I have been looking into this.

Yes indeed, there are flawed chips out there...  But they are fixable   Just make sure you use ver 1.3 of the special kernal.
