The subject line pretty much says it all. Is there support on Linux for PDAs/organizers other than the 3Com Palm Pilot? For example the Sharp Wizards (OZ-730PC), Royal DV3 DaVinci, or Casio PV-400Plus. Any pointers would be appreciated

I don't know about the ones you mentioned, but the compaq ipaq is supported and some others that use ARM CPUs.

Sorry I wasn't clear enough. What I meant is Linux support for upload/download to the above-mentioned PDAs/organizers. Not Linux running in the devices themselves. I'd like to use a PDA/organizer for text editing while commuting and upload/download text to my Linux box. Hope that is clear enough.

They have a $149 Palm-like device called the Agenda (what a coincidence!) that actually runs on Linux. But, the part you're more interested in is that it has a standard serial port.
Only problem is they haven't shipped any units yet. They are threatening to ship any minute . . .

Dunno about the Sharp Wizards; there may not have been enough interest for anyone to bother developing data communications tools for it. It's far more "hit'n'miss" with these organizers that just didn't get as popular as the PalmComputing lineup... -- (concatenate 'string "aa454" "@" "freenet.carleton.ca") <http://www.ntlug.org/~cbbrowne/pims.html> First Rule of Computer Security - Only forbid that which can be made impossible. - Facilitate the possible. - Have the wisdom to explain the difference. -- Mark Miller

I have a Psion 5mx, 16 Meg RAM, 10 Meg ROM (various apps), . Has a serial port and comes with serial cable. I transfer files using between the PDA and my computer using y-modem. Though small, but larger than a Palm it has a useable keyboard and a 320x200 dispay. Do a search in your Google or your favorite search engine for Psion 5mx. You might like it, but it is a tad pricey.
