	You may want to poke around http://www.tuxia.org/ . Last I heard
of them, they were working on getting Linux to run on the Compaq iPaq.
	Among other things, they used a customized version of libpdb (and
probably some other code) to allow the iPaq to sync using Palm's sync
protocol.
	I'm pretty sure that their code is released under the GPL, so
maybe it can be ported to the Zaurus.
