# Description
This is an USB driver for MacOS X to connect handheld devices like the Sharp Zaurus, Yopy, iPAQ, Motorola Linux phones, OpenMoko to MacOS X as an IP device via the USB cable. This allows to use telnet, ssh, SMB etc. to access the devices.
Note that this driver is not a complete Sync solution. Please refer to [ZMacSync][zms] for such a (shareware) product for the Sharp Zaurus.
[zms]: ../ZMacSync
The versions up to 0.2.8 for MacOS X up to 10.3 have originally been developed by [Andreas Junghans][1].

# How to compile yourself
1. Download the sources (older versions through [Downloads])
2. Open the Xcode project
3. Build - will open a terminal
4. There, type make install (will ask for admin password)
# Notes
There is a bug either in the SMB server on the Zaurus or on the client side on the Mac that limits accessing a C3000 (only this model).
The background: SMB gives external access to /home/samba - which contains symbolic links to the internal HDD on the C3000. Although this works for reading files, you can't write files larger than approx. 2 MByte to the HDD. The reason is that free space is reported for the device which contains /home/samba and not the linked file system. So Finder thinks there is not enough free space.
