RE: Advice on ipaq expansion cases
Title: Message
I
have
a socket WLAN card for mine. I haven't tested the absolute range on
it,
but it a room where I usually get 3 bars on my laptop orinocco gold, I
usually
get 2 but sometimes 3 on the socket - so it's not _quite_ as good, but not
bad
either.
The
socket card is a low pwer device, and it _will_ allow the iPaq to go into
power
saving mode, whereas some cards don't & you drain the battery a lot
quicker.
There
is battery drain granted, but as the card isn't in constant use, I can't
say I
notice it as being that bad. Depends on how long you're going to be
using
it :)
Also,
the smaller form factor is a big plus - the PCMCIA adapter for the iPaq is
HUGE
- no point in having a pocket sized PDA if it won't fit in your
pocket!

That
would be a better solution but has anybody tried the CF wlans for
range? I was thinking of buying one of the orinioco gold/silver because the
general feeling ive got from this list is that these seem to give the best
range. plus there's no extra battery in the CF pack so it might drain
quite quickly?

Why not get a CF WLAN card? then you don't need the pcmcia
sleeve at all......

Hi all
Ive recently bought an ipaq 3870 and I want to
add some compact flash cards to it for extra memory. Alls fine so
far in that I was going to buy a CF expansion pack to fit them. But I also
want to add a PCMCIA expansion pack and wireless card later on so I can
connect to the PC.
Heres the question. Rather than buying
the two expansion packs and having to swop over (and waste money), is it
possible to use the Kodak compact flash --> PCMCIA converter that ive
seen in currys (£2.49) with the compact flash memory and PCMCIA
sleeve.
ie buy:
PCMCIA expansion pack
Compact flash memory
CF to PCMCIA converter
Wirless
card
Also I havent seen the two expansion packs up
close so is there a difference in size between the two??
Thanks in advance
