Blystone 75570,404 To: Michael Baraz 73564,1442 Michael, I have a Zaurus 5800 and the Sharp Data Exchange v1.1. Lately I've been running it on NT v4.0. I works fine (even under NTFS); however, there is one small glitch. The potition of the infared adapter in relation to the port on the Zaurus is much more fussy than under Windows 95. Sometimes I have to fool around a bit to get the proper angle that works. It's an inconvenience, but a fairly small one. #: 76282 S9/Sharp Zaurus 13-Dec-96 13:57:21 Sb: #76076-5800fx Fm: Walter J. Petlevich 102751,165 To: James Kendrick 70312,3513 << Does the 5800FX come with the Win95 ZAP syncing standard? >> Having been down this road here is what I know. If you buy anything but the ZR-3000 you will need to buy the ZR-AP2 software which I was NOT able to fine in any of the stores that I visited. I like you, have for the moment, a Casio Wince and wanted to see if the Zaurus 5800 would seamlessly sync with Schedule+ 7.0 as well as the Casio does using the newer partner SW. Unfortunately, I had to purchase the 3000 in order to get the SW for evaluation. I am not very pleased with the smaller keyboard and screen (although it has the same resolution) of the 3000 and will be returning it for a 5800 now that I have the SW :). << The one area the WinCE really shined was in smooth syncing to the Win95 apps which is very important to me. >> I agree, the Wince really has good seamless syncing. The good news is the ZRAP-2 SW does a very respectable job with Schedule+ 7.0 under 95 but with the following caveats. 1. If the ZR-AP2 SW is used to Synchronize a 5000/5700/5800 with ACT! or Schedule+, _ALL CONTACT/DATA FILES LINKS AND FILER FOLDER ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE LOST_. The 3000 does not have this limitation. 2. Schedule+ appointments or To Do's enter as recurring events (these are stored as a single entry and a revolving arrow symbol indicates that it is a recurring event) WILL NOT TRANSFER to the Zaurus. Similarly if you create a recurring appointment or To Do on the Zaurus by using the REPEAT function, these records WILL NOT be converted to a recurring event in Schedule+. I wish Sharp gets the AP2 support done for NT 4.0 soon. Apparently this compatibility won't be ready until sometime next year :((. I am going to evaluate SychroLynx by Rupp shortly which supposedly does support NT. -Walt, 102751,165 ...writing on Fri, 13 Dec 1996 15:29. #: 78270 S9/Sharp Zaurus 28-Dec-96 17:59:59 Sb: #77419-ZAP for ZR5800 Fm: Scott Campbell (SHARP) 75300,2046 To: Paul Slavik 73237,3233 Paul, Yes it will be available for sale very soon.

Most apps that I've found that are Win95 complient run on 3.51, but my recent purchase of ZAP2 left me in the lurch and will not load on 3.51 ?? #: 84296 S9/Sharp Zaurus 05-Feb-97 08:26:33 Sb: #83929-ZR-AP2C & WNT 4 Fm: Scott Campbell (SHARP) 75300,2046 To: Phil Sandoz 75141,3346 (X) Phil, ZR-AP2 is rather advanced in that it is a "shell extension" and runs within the Windows explorer/desktop. Thus it is not compatible with NT 3.51. There will be a NT4.0 version/free patch in the near future. No release date yet however.

I'll check your library file for the info, although I've already tried changing interrupts and port assignments. I'll also visit the Puma & Rupp websites to see what they offer for NT connectability. I hope there is some solution since my Department is investigating Palmtops for their field personnel. I've been using Wizards and Zs for quite a while but if they don't work or are not supported in the NT environment I guess we'll have to regroup and find something else.
