Sharp Zaurus SL-C3000 Instruction Manual page 194

my Zaurus SL-C3000 and SL-C3100
You can also manually mount and unmount the SD card, CF card and all connected USB storage
devices. The card applet has been enhanced to allow this.
USB network/storage
The USB module works in two modes similar to the Sharp distro. It can either allow the Zaurus to
be used as a USB disk or used as a virtual network adaptor. The Zaurus can be mounted as a USB
storage device when connected with the USB sync cable. It will allow you to either share the SD, CF
or internal MicroDrive (partition 3 which is mounted as /data).
Alternatively, the USB network mode will allow you to connect the Zaurus via a virtual ethernet
network and thus will allow you to share files via Samba and also allow you to use any TCP/IP
dependant network services if enabled. If for example the PC or Laptop you connect to via USB
cable has internet sharing (Windows ICS or iptables on Linux) configured, then the Zaurus can
access the internet through that connection. See the networking section of my customisation guide
for Sharp ROM on how to do that. I have also written a basic script usbnet which automatically
configures the usbd0 interface to use the Windows ICS (Internet Connection Sharing).
