DATAPAK 260MB PC CARD TYPE II HARD DRIVE

This is better than the IBM microdrive if you are going to use it in a pc card slot. It seems like a waste to pay more for the IBM's compact size and then stick it in a pc card holder. I have an HP620lx handheld and the IBM drive won't work in the CF slot. I would love to run a hard drive the in the pc card slot on my HP, but I think I will stick with my 128 CF card for now. Toshiba is coming out with their 20 GB pc card soon and that should dump the prices on the smaller capacities.
 
yea the toshiba drive will probably be type 3 though and probably cost like $500. they use it in the new portege 2000
 
Does anyone know if these are supported by Windows CE? I have an ePods (and eSlate on the way, thanks to this forum), and I would love to use the PCMCIA slot to transfer pictures from a CF card. Am currently using an Iomega Clik drive but it's SLOW and at 40 Meg, takes alot of swapping to unload a 256 Meg CF card.
 
Pc card hard drives are now in the type II form factor. The real old ones were type III. They are available at fire sale prices because no one wants one.
 
Well, their site says this works with iPAQ's so I'm assuming they are using the PCMCIA adapter. I have one on mine. But some things don't work too hot with it (Iomega Cliks=NOGO). This may be what I need for pictures and music.
 
Gaspath, I don't think the datapak use an adapter, it's a full type 2 card. A CF card is type 1 and uses an adapter (you can see the different sizes on their webpage).
 
I think GasPath is referring to the clip on PC Card adapter for the iPaq, not a CF to PCMCIA adapter. Both the Iomega Clik drives and the Kingston are Type II PCMCIA cards, and I have had success running the Clik drive with CE devices using some obscure Iomega drivers found on the Sharp Japan site.

If someone can confirm (from experience) that the Kingston is supported under CE, I might have to jump in on this deal.
