An English interface. This might have been just an English modification of the original stuff or a whole new distribution. I’m fuzzy on that.

Afterwards, I probably used cacko.
This was my very first Zaurus distribution. I used it to give myself an English interface.

Installation ∞

untested

Download the ZIP-file
unzip it to the “Backup_Files” directory of a CF or SD memory card (at least 32 MB).
Put the card in the Zaurus,
select “Settings”, start “Backup Restore” and start “Restore”.

This performs a complete wipe of your device, giving it the earliest Trisoft English distribution.

Tested and works.

Download the ZIP-file
unzip it to the root of a card (at least 256 MB)
- This is the file SYSTC100.DBK
Power down the Zaurus and remove all power sources (no AC adaptor and remove the battery!).
Set the battery switch to the “Offen” position and wait for at least 5 seconds.
Connect the AC adaptor and put back the battery.
Hold down the [D] and [M] keys and set the battery switch back to “Betrieb” (while keys are pressed!).
After a short moment the diagnostics menu should appear.
- If not, try it again and this time hold down the [D] and [M] keys before you restore the power (AC adaptor / battery).
Insert the CF card in the Zaurus
Choose “Backup Menu” and then “Flash RESTORE” on page 3 of the diag menu.

The restore will take some time, so please be patient.

The video player couldn’t play a random MP4 that I had.
- I don’t know what formats were supported.
The mp3 player
- Automagically uses the external music dongle thing which I have.
- Is awkward in a bunch of places.
  – Can’t use one’s finger on the screen because buttons are unnecessarily small.
  – .. other stuff I didn’t think to note and can’t remember offhand.
