Mac users??

I've been trying to get dbat to work so I can import my address book files from my mac to my zaurus.  No luck so far, can't find the correct file on the z.  I've done it on my iPaq when it was running familiar, so I know the program works.  Any pokes with a cattle prod in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know about dbat but there are several pointers and hints how to sync in the Mac Issues forum:

I too am not familiar with dbat. However I think you may have a different problem, depending on what ROM you are using. If you are using a Zaurus ROM 3.x (on the 5500) then the address book file format has changed dramatically from your old "familair on ipaq" days.

I gave up on waiting for Sharp to give us a portable sync tool (I use Linux on a Mac), so I have gone back to the familar Calendar (aka datebook) which uses the old format, and I use a perl script evolution-sync.pl to sync to the ical calendar in Mozilla. (I keep my addresses in a text file, so I don't use address book)

What Zaurus & ROM are you using?

Just an update, I finally got it to sync with ZMacSync over wireless.  Forgot it wasn't really a "sync" and when doing the "I can't beleve it actually worked" check I had to spend the next ten minutes deleting double entries.
