ATA Flash storage pcmcia iPAQ driver

I have a 1 gig Kingston dataflash pc card type 2 ata flash card. It works fine in laptops but my ipaq 3660 in the pcmcia/battery jacket dont want to know, I have trawled the web for a patch/driver, it seems the Linux boys have it all sewn up, but nothing for the vanilla ipaq, any help appreciated.
p.s. I know that the system is "aware" of it, because I ran a program called card probe and this picked it up right away, it seems that the software in the ipaq is very choosy about its memory guests.

tru loking thru these links:
http://www.tjotala.com/hardware/storagebrick/default.htm
http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/HandheldiPAQ/us/locate/48_1334.html
and apparently when you upgrade to ppc 2002 the problem will go away:
http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/HandheldiPAQ/us/download/16541.html
although I have somewhere at the back of my mind that I might have downloaded from US IPAQ news group the a/m driver ... few months ago, let me search for that
regards,
monika

Thanks for that, however I have tried all those solutions, I have also tried on several ipaqs, several pcmcia sleeves and various os versions, the only way I can get the system to see it is to load the microdrive atadisk.dll, problem now is that I can only get half the storage space. I have also plugged the card into laptop and used partition magic, even that is now only reporting 50% of total space. Weird eh?

well, strange enough ....
while using IPAQ I have been playing with SANDISK ATA flash cards od 1280MB memory ... no problem whatsoever on 37xx/38xx/39xx etc
maybe u should update to ppc2002 ... or format the card with different drive geometry, rather DO NOT use partition magic for that purposes but simple stuff like:
http://www.cnetx.com/Format/download.asp
(and follow the link)
or
http://www.pocketpccity.com/software/pocketpc/StorageTools-2002-4-5-ce-pocketpc.html
that might help - format in FAT16 etc, and those a/m tools allow for checking the card for hardware errors
regards, monika

spent some time digging through my files .... didn't get
the driver I have promised - sorry
regards, monika

[SOLVED] GFX on Macbook Pro 17" (Unibody)(5,2 mid-2009)

Hey, so I bought my macbook from Apple in May/June of last year (2009), and I'm having some really weird graphics issues. I plan to do some research on the issue, just wondering if this has happened to any other mac users out there...

Do you mean that breaking point thing where the text overlaps? DO you get that everywhere in the system? DO you see it when entering terminal from boot?

With these questions I can come to a more solid conclusion as to how to fix his problem. And I don't feel like posting each question in each separate post.

Its a mac, its not broken, its an innovative feature. Jobs is Reinventing laptops again.

It's strange, it's only when scrolling in Finder. After some research, I found that it's called the "ripple", but no solid answers. This started happening randomly after I decided to use the 9600GT card to get better graphics for a few weeks. Once I switched back to the 9400M to save battery life, this started catching my eye.
On a side note, if you're here on this thread just to bash Apple, please do me a favor and leave. kthanx.

I don't have a mac, but nor am I here to slate Apple
Just as a question, have you installed latest graphics drivers. I've had that before on my pc a while ago - I didn't install the right drivers.
Hope it helps - If not, sorry!

Yea, seems like a driver problem, but I'm not that good with macs. Check the nvidia site and look for the most recent drivers.

I appreciate the help . I'll check it out.
edit: As far as I can tell, both drivers are not on the site. The closest they get to Mac OS X is linux...It seems to me that Apple uses their own proprietary versions of the drivers, just like they do for Java. Software Update shows nothing that pertains to gfx drivers...

Damn apple. lol. Try checking the system update, maybe you will find a driver update there.

Lol.
I checked System Update and it only shows a java update and some misc program updates that don't deal with graphics...Oh well. I'll keep looking, thanks for the help.

Worst case scenario, format. Fixes everything. lol

As much as I'd love to...lol
I just restored the harddrive maybe a month ago, after Ubuntu self destructed on me...For some reason it just went all Chernobyl one day...Wouldn't connect to wifi, ethernet, wouldn't build android anymore...And my computer felt hot enough to cook on. Literal meltdown.
I then realized that I could dual-boot Snow Leopard and Leopard, and that I never needed Linux in the first place... I should have partitioned a little more evenly, though, as I made Snow Leopard the majority of the HDD...but I only really use the 50gb Leopard partition I made for Android development...
lol. I just need to stop failing...

you could always make a timecapsule back up to a big portable hd, then restoring from that. it probably won't sort anything as it will just restore what ever is happening, but it always worth a try. i've tried it to fix a few problems, can't remember if it did help.

Turns out the GPU is at fault. Apple is replacing it, fo fweee. So happy, as I'm out of warranty and it's a $300 part.
Thanks for all your suggestions!

Lol @ $300 part. I will not go into detail of Apple's pricing.

Themes for Vista

Man I have been looking for themes for Vista and the only ones out there I can find want you to buy a third party app for $20 to install them on my laptop.
M$ site has zero themes for Vista even though you can change your theme where you personalize windows (right click desktop>personalize>themes)
I have googled enough to know that I need to patch Vista to allow third party themes but I am leary to do that when I know nothing about the sites I would be downloading from.
Just need a nudge in the right direction. Want to change the look of Winblows. Not just colors and background. Really kind of like to find an Android type theme.
Any help would be appreciated.
Running Vista Home Premium SP2
Considering going to 7 soon though and there appear to be a lot of themes for it out there but don't know if they need the third party app. M$ has like 4 themes.

Rainmeter (I think that's what it was called) my themeing days were 5 years ago, should've asked me then. Lol

In before teh lock?

Also, you can check on one of the boards on 4chan, I think it was wallpapers. There is usually a guide on how to theme desktops. That's where I learned my stuff from, and I had some crazy themes, and you couldn't tell it was any OS you know.
And before anyone says something, 4chan is a great site for many things. Its only looked down upon because of the /b/ board. And whatever you do, don't go to /b/, trust me, you won't be normal anymore. Not saying you are normal now, but you know what I mean.

Yes people still use it. It is a solid OS. And Windows 7 has been out long enough that it is getting near stable enough to switch over to so I will be migrating soon.
I hate that about the time Micro**** finally gets an OS working then they come out with a new one. Why not wait until the **** works right before releasing it?

Finally got around to playing with Rainmeter. Steep learning curve but fun to play with.
Here is my work in progress. This is a compilation of about 5 skins. Parts from here, from there. Then tailored in colors. The multi RSS feed was a PITA.
But it will evolve.

Graphics card problem

I bought a Radeon 6870 from gigabyte about a year ago and thought it was a decent card. well its starting to get some black dots on the screen, Sometimes the whole page is black like internet explorer is black and everything else is fine, and whenever I refresh the screen the dots go away. If any body could help me that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

2 OT threads created in 2 minutes!
Sorry, but I can't help you. Replace the card is my best suggestion.

Format your brain.

the original card in the computer was a GeForce gt 120 1GB and that works completely no problems what so ever. The computer doesn't have on board video its only dedicated so that's ruled out. It has to be the graphics card like somethings wrong with maybe the ram on it or something.

It could be that your monitor is going bad. Frozen pixels could be a problem. If not, i would recommend trying older drivers. If you get the same issue then your video card could be going. I had a problem with AMD cards only to last for a year then they poop. Nvidia is the one ive had alot of success with.

[Q] CM10 Nightly for Vivid: Adobe Flash Issues!

I recently flashed CM10, and it seems to be working perfectly fine. Keyboards, home and search buttons, Gapps all good. However, when installing the most recent Adobe Flash APK, the problems are glaring. While it does work, the video is severely choppy, Flash Adverts get blended into other Flash running panels, creating a stripped pattern everywhere. It's just a total mess. I've tried running it on Firefox with similar results, and Chrome rejects it entirely.

Ah. Makes Sense (pun intended.) Well, hope someone fixes this issue, and an official CM ROM comes out instead of a nightly.

It is official. And likely the best you're gonna get

Yeah, I did realize that, but I figured that someone would've discovered the issue and found a way since I expected that the issue lied in the ROM and not the CM itself, but I guess not. I'm just going to stick with a stock ROM then, until someone makes an ICS ver. of CM. for Vivid.
