Accessories quandry

[merk1821]

Hi everyone. Obviously this is my first post on the PocketPCThoughts forums. I post his query in the hopes that your opinions, thoughts and general observation can help me out:

I have had a PDA of one sort for almost 6 years. Starting with the old Newton 2100 (w/ keyboard), 8O then the old Palm Pro (even then i didnt think they were powerful enough) :roll: then to the Philip Velo and Nino :oops: and then the old Compaq Aero 2180 with the Pocket PC upgrade. The old Aero had an unfortunate accident with a door frame that left me PDA-less for almost 6 months. That was until a month ago when i saw a HP Jornada 548 being cleared out of a local Office Depot for $300 Can. I snapped it up immediately. But since my old Comapq Aero had a CF II slot and my newer Jornada only has a CF I slot some of my accessories have sat idle:
They are: an IBM 340 MB microdrive
a Pretec 56K CFII modem
a Compaq air/car charger (for use in cig lighters in vehicles)

My question to the board is what should i do. Should i try to make a trade for something that will actually work in my Jornada 548? i was thinking of trading for a 256MB CFI card, a CFI modem and a Jornada car charger. But i know there are other options out there. So can any one help?

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I have looked into the CF Adapter from Atek but with the exchange rate, duties and taxes to get an adapter up here to Canada, it would be fairly expensive. I did pick up an car adaptor for the Jornada so that issues is taken care of.

With regards to the CF modem and Microdrive i was thinking of a trade for simalr units that would be able to fit into the Jornada's CF I slot. Please weigh in with your thoughts and opinions. Thanks
