ATA Flash storage pcmcia iPAQ driver

I have a 1 gig Kingston dataflash pc card type 2 ata flash card. It works fine in laptops but my ipaq 3660 in the pcmcia/battery jacket dont want to know, I have trawled the web for a patch/driver, it seems the Linux boys have it all sewn up, but nothing for the vanilla ipaq, any help appreciated.
p.s. I know that the system is "aware" of it, because I ran a program called card probe and this picked it up right away, it seems that the software in the ipaq is very choosy about its memory guests.

tru loking thru these links:

http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/HandheldiPAQ/us/locate/48_1334.html
and apparently when you upgrade to ppc 2002 the problem will go away:
http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/HandheldiPAQ/us/download/16541.html
although I have somewhere at the back of my mind that I might have downloaded from US IPAQ news group the a/m driver ... few months ago, let me search for that
regards,
monika

Thanks for that, however I have tried all those solutions, I have also tried on several ipaqs, several pcmcia sleeves and various os versions, the only way I can get the system to see it is to load the microdrive atadisk.dll, problem now is that I can only get half the storage space. I have also plugged the card into laptop and used partition magic, even that is now only reporting 50% of total space. Weird eh?

well, strange enough ....
while using IPAQ I have been playing with SANDISK ATA flash cards od 1280MB memory ... no problem whatsoever on 37xx/38xx/39xx etc
maybe u should update to ppc2002 ... or format the card with different drive geometry, rather DO NOT use partition magic for that purposes but simple stuff like:
http://www.cnetx.com/Format/download.asp
(and follow the link)
or
http://www.pocketpccity.com/software/pocketpc/StorageTools-2002-4-5-ce-pocketpc.html
that might help - format in FAT16 etc, and those a/m tools allow for checking the card for hardware errors
regards, monika

spent some time digging through my files .... didn't get
the driver I have promised - sorry
regards, monika

More money than Sense to get WiFi?

After a little bit of searching I managed to find exactly what I was looking for on-line in the uk.

This is an SD to microSD which is fully SDIO compatible as is the Touch Dual's MicroSD socket.
I bought one of these a while ago
for my old Ipaq PDA so I thought It would be an amusing test.
This is not some desperate attempt to get WiFi on my Touch Dual as I have a fine data contract, it is merely for research purposes.
What do you reckon? Worth £15?

i thing that for the moment if u really need wi-fi it is ok.
btw. can u pls post link where to buy it? thx balvi

http://linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=11922
I'm just going to buy it because it's useful for digital camera pictures on the move.

I don't get where's the wi-fi ... that's a simple SD to MicroSD adapter. there's no wi-fi connection there

You have found a Picture from a Wifi Card and you doesnt found the Producer?
Look -> http://www.spectec.com.tw/sdw823.htm
if you want buy ... search via ebay ... if you found only sd and mini sd version ... ask the guy for a micro sd version!

but still the SDW-823 it not avalaible to buy at the moment.
but i still hope that wi-fi will be awailable on niki

You clearly didn't actually read my post.
I've bought this adapter for testing reasons and so I can transfer pictures from my digital camera on the move. I have a Spectec SD WiFi card which I bought 2 years ago for an old Ipaq.
Seeing as the unit is SDIO compatibe along with the Micro SD socket. I thought it would be worth a try trying to get WiFi with the adapter and the WiFi SD card.

Greenturtle, I would be really interested to know how you get along with that adapter.
I really want to get wifi working on the Nike so i can use it as a Wireless access point for my laptop (work laptop, so cant use phone as USB modem)- therefore want to use www.wmwifirouter.com
I have sent a few emails to Spectec about the SDW-823 - according to there tests it wont work with the Nike as they say it hasnt got SDIO - which is contrary to the spec's.
keep us updated please.

Well the item was dispatched this morning
It will be here tomorrow hopefully and I shall begin testing. The Internet does suggest the Touch Dual has SDIO though.
I shall also test whether the WiFi less Tornado has SDIO as well by means of an MicroSD to MiniSD adapter.

hi.
so how does it look? is it working?
thx

the micro sd wifi card is coming!
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=140798
no idea on prices though.

I think its a good idea. Wifi was the only thing holding be back from getting the Niki, and that eventually resulted in my getting the Cruise. I don't use WiFi the majority of the time as I have great 3G reception in NYC, but when I am travelling it is great to be able to use wifi so that I can Skype ppl back home w/o roaming fees.
Let us know how your experiment works! If you can do a smooth intergration underneath the battery cover or inside the casing somehow that would be awesome. Are SD/miniSD hubs available, so that you wouldn't have to lose the ability to use the Sd slot for storage while on wifi?

Hi Greenturtle, it the SD wifi card working on touch dual ? I am thinking to buy this as well.....

It says it should work on any 5.x and 6.x windows mobile devices.
So i guess we have to wait till it's released.

Any updates? Has anyone tested it? This would be awesome if it worked as I didn't think I would but I do miss WiFi now I have a Touch Dual

storage options

hey everyone! I've been looking to buy a nexus 7 but the lack of expandable memory is making it hard to justify buying and the fact that the biggest option is 16GB of internal storage (13GB available).
Now I'm still going to buy it just because i cant resist but does anyone think there is a way I could actually replace the internal SD card with my own larger one? i ask this because I have seen in a few phones that the internal storage is nothing more than a regular SD card.
anyways it would be great if anyone has any ideas or if you really think cloud storage is just fine let me know

Being totally unqualified to comment (but that has never stopped me),
you would be silly buying a Nexus 7 with the idea of replacing the internal SD card yourself.
Maybe a teardown will reveal a standard SD card socket - but I highly doubt it.
Sockets cost a lot more than a surface mount device, and you really don't want to go there. Even if you are able to replace the SD card, the boot rom is likely to have an idea as to the size and format of the SD - and you can't change that.

Not many people can answer your question now since not many have them. We will have to wait for IFixIt to break one down. There are stories on people replacing the sdcard chip with a larger one via soldering but we won't know for sure until someone opens one up.
At it's current infant stage, best storage option is to use an OTG cable & sdcard.
Also, need to wait to see if dev's are able to improve anything.
Can't comment on cloud storage because you need to tell us what type of user you are: gamer, video watcher, etc....
I'm a gamer & the best way for me to to backup Android folder & remove game files that I'm currently not playing. When I do play that game, I transfer back the game files to Android folder.
Basically you have to manage your storage space. Also need to factor in storage for nandroids.
I'll say 16gb is enough if you manage your space: backup files & transferring them back when needed, etc.

Transcend storejet cloud 64gb wireless ssd hard drive is $99.00 on amazon. Small enough for put in your pocket, 5-6 hrs battery. I can put link here, cause i'm newbie lol.
or
Kingston Wi-Drive: short battery, it's exspensive.
or
Maxell AirStash flash drive: good battery, but it's very exspensive.

^ Following the previous posters answers, I would recommend a Seagate GoFlex Satellite & mod it to 1TB. credit goes to the folks in this thread

Cloud only works for multimedia. It doesn't work for games/apps that take up space. Games (non-casual) can get pretty big. Ditto for some apps, eg Google Maps offline caching. One solution,

Cloud Storage Services

Hey ladies and gentlement!
As I'm already recognized a high resonance via G+, I thought I'll start a OT-Thread here related to the topic
- Free Cloud Storage -
As for sure a lot of ppl has another priority and subjectiv opinion on different cloud services,
but I think we all are fair and reational enough to share our meanings without treating other meaning or ppl here.
So I'll start with my own experience and opinion:
In my opinion the realtiv new cloud storage of 'Copy' is one of the best cloud storage service,
which offers a really great android app, too.
The app also was re-designed some weeks ago and it's quiet intuitive and more looking good.
I'm personally also a Google fan and so for sure using G-Drive, too, but anyway for general daily cloud handling I use this at all.
'Copy' also let u create a synchronisation folder which gives the opportunity to share and edit things in a kind of group.
So I personally learned to use this in my job when working on a project, so that other project-partners could see when I put in new files
and themselves could view & edit them if they want. Also they could just put in their own files, so that I can see it.
Over this you can give different rights, for what anyone can to in this folder.
(I think that's enough explained for synchronisation folders)
Let's go ahead to the most sensitive point in nowadays "Security".
So to let's say first, that there is no 100% safe cloud service and surly will never be!
So we all have to trust the service and can orientate here on the security standards they offer.
'Copy' that for uses a part for the connection and one for the encryption of data to/on their servers.
The connection is here saved by the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) standard
and the data encryption by the AES256 (Advanced Encryption Standard)
Even their are other possibilities and the SSL could be the updated TLS standard, this is one of the highest "daily" protection standard.
[I don't want to get off from topic here, so let's say that there are more higher security standard, but u have to think in relative terms here!]
In the app u also have the opportunity to set a PIN, to secure the entry in app, even the phone won't have one.
At this point I hope I don't forget any important points, otherwise just ask and let me know...
Again this is for sure a objective view on things, so please let me know what u guys think and share your meanings and recommandation of cloud storage services.
CHEERS

With the link below u get 20GB [5GB to the 15GB] free storage on 'Copy', because I invited you.
So if u want to test it or saying "yes this listen like what I searched for", just register via it,
than 5GB more, are better than not or?
=> https://copy.com?r=dOBmai
PS: Yes I also get 5GB free if u use this link, but anyway this shouldn't be a big advertisement, just a recommendation.

Gemini PDA, has a sim slot... could be interesting...

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/02/27/the_psions_is_back_meet_gemini/
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/gemini-pda-android-linux-keyboard-mobile-device-phone#/

I agree that it looks very cool, but they want to use a MediaTek processor.
MTEK are very unfriendly to modders and the open source community and rarely release any source code. Yet the Gemini guys wrote that they'll support Linux dualboot.
Looks a bit weird to me. I'd like to get that but only if Lineage will run on it.

I wonder if you can actually use it as a phone. like put it to your ear and talk...

That thing looks way interesting. The only thing that I am worried about is how to make a phone call with this.

ohhhhh wtf? thats looking cool
and if u read the description
Gemini is an ultra-thin clamshell mobile device with fully integrated tactile QWERTY keyboard, that fits in your pocket. Designed for Android, it also features a dual boot Linux option. Gemini is fully equipped with 4G, WiFi & Bluetooth enabling both data communications and mobile phone calls

Yes but, I think that to make a call you have to open it up to dial, and use the stereo speakers to listen, there is no ear only speaker.

The Gemini PDA will have a microphone and speaker for phone use whilst closed. Calls can be made in this mode via the voice activation button or wired or wireless headset. Programmable LEDs will enable caller ID for known callers.
Details can be found here:

Yes, I agree, a sub forum for the Gemini would be great. Going by the comments on Indigogo, there would be a lot of interest in it.

You can* there are mics and speakers on both sides so it doesn't matter which way you use it, but forget about using the touchscreen in case you need to. (you'll have to open the clamshell to do so.)
I have one but haven't tested the phone yet (or really plan to) . As mine is an early release model (early backer) it shipped without the e-sim functionality enabled yet (testing still needed), and I really don't want to get a sim card if I don't have to. (Regular Sim cards do/should work)
