How To Add a Bluetooth USB Dongle/Adaptor To Your Casio E-200

"I first learned this BT USB connectivity through BrightHand by a subscriber named Francisco (a.k.a. fcaeiro). Looking at the links he provided I learned a bunch of BT USB adapter that works with the hack. Basically, as far as I know, any BT USB adapter that supports CSR chipset (single chip wireless systems) should work too. I couldn't verify at the time if my Belkin BT USB adapter (F8T003) has this chipset or not but I tried the instructions from the threads I found related to this item (see bottom for links). I downloaded the drivers and tried plugging the BT USB adapter but that didn't work. After many attempts (reinstalling, soft resetting, etc), I gave up and left fcaeiro a message. The next day he respond back and he gave me additional instructions to me via MSN messenger. After some experimenting, he concluded that this would require a registry hack. 2 attempts is all it takes and after that, everything is working..."

Gotta' love the USB host functionality - now if only more Pocket PCs would offer it!

Just to add... most Pocket PC that has USB host capabilities including Toshiba and Mitac (to name a few) should work. I just put that title since my web page is dedicated to Casio E-200 :wink: The hacks were discovered by fcaeiro and other Toshiba Pocket PC owners.

Now... if fcaeiro can finish his USB ethernet project that will work with WM2003 device (make sure you port it to a PPC2002 as well!)

So this should work with the Toshiba e750? I have the bluetooth adapter for it where I will plug in a USB keyboard. It's a cool feature! Now if only there were USB monitors!

Yes, but what's your point, though? This is clearly a case of W?BIC
