[Poqetpc] Cards on PoqetPad (was: Any Poqet PCs for Sale?)

Hello Bryant,

I assume that the Type III Drives are HDD?

Ok, I own the PoqetPC Plus as well as the PoqetPad (isn't this called
PoqetPad Plus too?).  The Poqet Plus by default will recognise SRAM
cards, which are small, expensive and hard to get.  By loading three
drivers in order:

PQSS.EXE    ! PCMCIA Socket Services
PQCCU.EXE   ! PCMCIA PP+/PC+ Card Configuration Utility
PQCARD.EXE  ! PP+/PC+ PCMCIA Card Driver V1.18

as described on
http://www.olagrande.net/~webguy/service/poqet.html#Useful the poqetpc
will be able to read many (not all, unfortunately) pcmcia and even
compact flash cards (using an adaptor, obviously).

However, the PoqetPad won't.  I don't remeber what I tried.  I believe
the PoqetPad is missing the drivers, but I might have tried copying
the original drivers from the PoqetPC Plus --- iff I did, it was
without success.  At any rate, I wasn't able to read flash-cards in
the PoqetPad, but might not have tried overly hard...

Ok, not much help, I fear.  Nonetheless, happy new year...

Sven
