If you're running PocketPC on your iPaq, you can get a Type II CompactFlash PCMCIA adapter and use the Ratoc USB host card: http://www.ratocsystems.com/english/products/subpages/cfu1u.html If you're using Linux (e.g. Familiar), then you can port the Zaurus driver: http://paipai.org/~humorum/english/zaurus/cfu1-driver.html and http://paipai.org/~humorum/pukiwiki/pukiwiki.php?ZaurusCfu1_dist I also talked to a gentleman named Andrew Steele who was interested in getting the Ratoc working. I'll see if he's done it. You used to be able to get another USB host card from Interpocket, but apparently they've shut down now. They were nice because they already had iPaq Linux and Zaurus drivers, except they wouldn't sell outside of the UK, which is why I went with the Ratoc: http://www.interpocket.co.uk/ Thanks, Vito -- Subscription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.blu.org Please, *PLEASE* don't subscribe through a forward/expander/false domain
