Anyone with a microdrive and a 2215 experience this? With your iPAQ off, insert the microdrive. Mine turns on for some reason. It also happens when you try to remove the CF card when the iPAQ is off. For me, this is very annoying.

I haven't tried it yet with other CF cards (regular flash cards, 802.11 cards, etc.) Does it happen with those also?

It happens with the Axim as well, and isn't a "malfunction". I suspect it's the same for your unit.

Yep - happend with both CF and SD cards. I find it really annoying with the SD cause it ejects with any downward pressure so I have to be careful as I push the unit into its case

My 2215 turns on any time I insert or remove a CF or SD card as well. It *is* rather annoying! Can this "feature" be disabled?

[Kati Compton]

I don't personally know of one. I would doubt that there is a way to do it - I think it's a hardware thing. I could be wrong, though.

That's interesting. I have a H3630 with a CF expansion pack and my iPAQ doens't turn on when I insert a CF card in it.

[Kati Compton]

Might be a function of it being an expansion back instead of part of the unit... Or perhaps not all brands/models do this.

My Maestro powers on for the CF card, but not for the SD card.

I'd like an option to stop this aswell.

Having done some tests with a CF-SD Adaptor I've worked it out to be a voltage change issue. Putting the CF-SD Adaptor in the CF slot (with IPAQ turned off) it doesn't do anything. When I put a SD Card into the adaptor the IPAQ turns on.

My thinking behind this is that if you had a GSM CF Card (with it's own power source) installed and a call came in the GSM Card could turn on the IPAQ. 8)
