i think if wm5 dont play nicely with it nor will wm6
it dont have drivers in it for other devices then what build in
so the question is wm6 is more likely to work with 2003 drivers
then wm5 is

@Bstard have you tried if the backpack at least does add battery life?

I installed the wm2003 driver and nothing happend, the system didn't recognize the battery ;-(

didn't test if there is extended battery life with the backpack attached

I tried this morning. To my surprise the VGA output from the backpack works. Unfortunately that's the least important feature for me. I can't find a CF card and it doesn't show up in battery status.
Unfortunately there are some other good reasons to uninstall these drivers now:
-phone dialer and/or xcpuscalar keep on popping up when I close other programs
-activesync refuses to connect

I very much appreciate Asukal's offer to look into it, I tried to upload the drivers I own but I get the error message "Upload backpack.zip failed" time and time again

Update: several versions of drivers can be downloaded from this thread on buzzdev:

BTW Rictec is the only person that I found so far in any forum saying he had backpack battery status running in WM5
Several people have VGA output running under WM5 and WM6
I haven't found anyone who claims to have CF card functioning
