Hello,
I received the email below from one of the authors of the Linux usbdnet
driver that allows connection to a Sharp Zaurus via the USB of the cradle. As
my C is nearly non-existent, are there any Zaurus owners on this list who
would be willing to try to work with Tom to develop support for the Sharp
Zaurus on FreeBSD? I am willing to do whatever I can to help, so please let me
know.
Thanks,
Alex

Alex,
I know of nothing at the moment. I'm working on an Apple/OSX driver,
and might eventually try NetBSD (since my e-mail machine is NetBSD), but
I wouldn't suggest holding your breath while you wait :(. If you do
find someone willing to work on it in the near future, I'd be happy
to answer questions though.
