iPAQ 2210 Mod To Carry An Extra SD Card
Do you use your iPAQ's SD slot heavily, more so than your CF slot? Do you swap cards a lot? Then check this clever trick an iPAQ owner did: to dig a notch in the CF "cover" slot. It's easier than it looks like at a first glance!

Page has exceeded its allocated bandwidth. It has been PPCThoughted!
Anyway, I can't really tell from this picture, but I assume it is just a CF to SD adaptor plugged in. I have one of these and have used it just to copy files from one SD card to another. I guess I could use my desktop card reader to do it, but the whole point is being able to do it while mobile!

Ok, we are going to have to restrict any geocities references since they all top out in bandwidth within a couple minutes....
By the time that the bandwidth restriction is lifted, my old brain will have forgotten about the link! :cry:

I dodn't think it's an SD adaptor Jon, I think he's modded the existing CF slot cover to store a SD card instead of carrying it loose.
But I would agree it's another site that has been "PPCThoughted!"

This is not an adapter. Although I cant open the website, I understand that this is the CF cover used as a case to carry an an extra sd card.

If that is the case, why bother wasting that slot? Why not just carry the second SD card inside the CF slot that can actually be used! I do it this way and I can have two SD cards actually working at the same time!

I know, I know...bad situation. Maybe we should create an offline version of the site and offer it to people if (when?) the site goes down... :roll:

Because this solution is absolutely free and might be preffered by somebody who doesnt need two cards working at the same time. :wink:

What I am wondering is why nobody has come up with a CF to SD/MMC Adapter. A CF card is more than big enough to handle this.
