I have an iPAQ 3660 with a pcmcia/battery sleeve. The sleeve works perfectly with pc card modems, network cards etc, also when using a pcmcia to cf adaptor I am able to plug in cf memory cards, all no problem. I bought a pc card type 2 ata flash storage of 1024megabyte by Kingston technology. Part number DP-ATA/1024. Now this is claimed as an ata compliant device and when I plug it into my laptop it is seen right away and formats to the correct size. However when I plug it into the ipaq sleeve, I get nothing, no recognition, no prompt for a driver and not visible in the system. I downloaded a program called cardprobe, this program actually was able to interrogate the card and give me all the info. I thought there must me a problem with the ata driver and so I downloaded a copy of atadisk.dll for microdrives, as soon as I copied this to the windows directory the card was seen, but only HALF the memory, exactly 50%. Can anybody throw any light on this. I have tried the original 1.77 rom, the wm2002 rom and also the upgrades and none can deal with this card until I use the microdrive dll which is modified from the original. I would like to use all the memory. :?:
