Sharp will be releasing an add-on software version of CompuServe Companion (Model# ZR-5C03) for the ZR-5000 in June, 1996. This software will cost approximately $50 and be available on a PC 3.5" floppy disk. You will need to install the software onto a 2MB FLASH memory card, as it is roughly 1.3 MB in size and cannot be installed into the main unit. Please note that this software will require a PC-Link cable (or infrared adaptor) to install. The PC installation software is included. You will also need either the CE-FM4 Fax/modem or a third party external modem (attached to the 15 pin serial port on the Zaurus) in order to connect to CompuServe. You will also need a membership to CompuServe to use this software. Information about signing up for CompuServe is included in the box. The CompuServe software for ZR-5000 users will have Mail, Forums, Executive News, Weather, and Stock Quotes access. The ZR-5700, 5800, and 5800FX models were developed with built-in CompuServe access software for Mail, Forums, and Executive News. Additional features, including Weather and Stock Quotes, will be available as a free upgrade soon after the software for the ZR-5000 users becomes available. This upgrade will ONLY be available via on-line services so you must be a CompuServe subscriber to download it. You will need to install it into the main memory or card memory, after which it will be automatically integrated into the existing built-in CompuServe software. When you access the enhanced CompuServe software via "TOOLS", its main menu will now contain the additional options. This software will require a PC-Link cable to install after you download it from CompuServe onto your PC. Please watch the Palmtop B forum on CompuServe (GO ZAURUS) and our website for more details in June.
