Do you recall whether anyone has been able to get
the newer Sandisk SDP3xx-xx series cards to be readable on a PC3K?
I am hoping that having even 30 to 50 megs
would increase possibilities (Windows 3.1 without so much
amputation). I know about the earlier Sundisk lower capacity cards.
I read that the drivers might be patched to recognize "Sandisk" rather than
Sundisk but have never seen specifics on the process. Could either of you
steer me in the right direction or should I actually be dissuaded from
trying? My impression is that compact flash is overwhelming the market due
to its smaller form factor but that is resulting in some price improvement for
the older PCMCIA cards.
| Hi, | | a few weeks ago I
successfully installed a 16MB CF-card in my PC 3100. | | http://www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~utcke/Laptop/sharp-pc3100.html |
| Well, today Aldi (a German discounter) started selling 32MB CF-cards |
at _very_ competitive prices, so naturally I went there to try one. | The
card is sold under the label Medion, but was supposedly | manufactured by
HP. But, alas, no success. Both sdisk and sformat | admonish me
to only use Sundisk products, then quit. | | As I don't think
there's much of a difference between CF-cards by | Sundisk and that by HP, I
would think that it must be possible to hack | the corresponding drivers to
accept all brands --- if there's someone | on the list who knows enough about
assemblers and disassemblers... | | So much for the bad news... |
| On a slightly related note: sundrv.zip refers to drivers for
the | PC3k, the HP95LX and the Olivetti Quaderno. Drivers for the first
two | are included (DIPSSDP.SYS and HP95SDP.SYS), but the last one |
(OLIVDSP.SYS) is missing. Has anybody ever seen this driver and could |
mail me a copy? | | On a completely unrelated topic: has anybody managed
to get any kind | of "network" connection with the PC3k better than 9600
over | null-modem? | | Greetings | | Sven | -- |
