I found this about the SL-C3000: In order to be USB 2.0 compliant, one
or more of the above speeds has to be implemented. The Zaurus implements
the USB 2.0 Full Speed data rate for file transfers and the USB 2.0 Low
Speed data rate for peripherals such as mice and keyboards. It does not
implement the USB 2.0 High Speed data rate. ref:

Their fairly compact, but I don't envision myself having that big of an
adapter dongled to a Zaurus. The OQO 01+ w/small VGA adapter would be
more compact in that case. Instead of the 2.0 to VGA adapter needed for
Zaurus, replace it with an external battery pack for the OQO 01+, and be
about the same size and weight, and more functional.

What about a USB to PC-Card adaptor for the Zaurus, and a PCMCIA to VGA
adapter? Could that be more compact than the USB to VGA? And if it's a
dual slot, more usefull too.
