I know there are PCCard usb ports. Will any of them work with the IPAQ and PC card sleeve?

The question would be drivers. I am not aware of any available for WinCE/PPC. The other issue might be the 5v/200ma power spec for a USB port. Not sure a PPC could provide that reasonably, and therefore the card manufacturers might be hesitant to create the drivers.

I figure it is technically possible, since a SCSI PCCard has been used to attach ZIP and hard drives. In each case the peripheral had external power though, it did not draw power off the PCCard. Seems most USB peripherals these days expect to be port powered.
