 // Check whether this device is the sharp zaurus..
+// FIXME This gets unnecessary complicated. We should think about splitting the Zaurus
+//       class up into individual classes. We need three classes
+//
+//       Zaurus-Collie (SA-model  w/ 320x240 lcd, for SL5500 and SL5000)
+//       Zaurus-Poodle (PXA-model w/ 320x240 lcd, for SL5600)
+//       Zaurus-Corgi  (PXA-model w/ 640x480 lcd, for C700, C750, C760, and C860)
+//
+//       Only question right now is: Do we really need to do it? Because as soon
+//       as the OpenZaurus kernel is ready, there will be a unified interface for all
+//       Zaurus models (concerning apm, backlight, buttons, etc.)
+//
