      I don't know where to find it, but I do have experience with PDAs. I have a SHARP OZ-590A. Be dipped if I can connect to the PC with it...

        How about this:

        http://www.myzaurus.com/downloads.asp

        Looks like the drivers are available here, directly from the source. Try the installation CD download.

        Ah, the first Linux-based Zaurus to be sold outside Japan - how I wanted one!  You can, by definition, do a lot more with those things than you can with virtually any other PDA.  Let us know if you're still stuck.
