Alternative Roms
We ship our Zauri with a heavily modified and extended SHARP original system. In
internet forums this system is often called “TRIsoft Rom”.
The term “Rom” does not mean a real ROM-chip. It’s the usual description for the system
that is located in the flash memory or (for the 3x00 models) on a partition of the harddisk.
Options
The table below is just for a quick reference and in no way complete. There are more
different distributions and also forks of the listed Roms.
