Re: Advice on ipaq expansion cases

Stu,

That should work OK. I have one of the dual PCMCIA adapters and have=20
both a Wireless card (PCMCIA) and IBM Microdrive (CFII+adapter)=20
installed. (Pics @ http://www.darrenhome.co.uk/Computers/ipaq.htm
)

The single slot PCMCIA expansion pack is slightly larger and heavier=20
than the CF pack but it does contain an additional battery which is=20
useful.

Regards,
Darren
