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://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

HELP - broken pc

Hi,
My 5 year old dell dimension e520 is having some graphics issues. The machine turns on and comes up with the BIOS screen
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
However the screen is full of lines which are not supposed to be there. It then carries onto the next screen which appears as normal
And then boots windows as normal (no graphics issues here just a bad camera!)
However instead of coming up with the login screen it comes up with this screen
And then restarts. However it is fine in safe mode.
On booting into diagnostics it shows the same issue as in the BIOS.
And when I run the graphics test it shows this error
I have a feeling that the graphics card is a geforce 7300le, and the FBI DVI even (HTC spellcheck!!!) out is not working, only vga.
Any ideas?

No, I would like to get it working!! (I still have the old one - something like http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/pcs/5188/viglen-homepro-400cs-pii-400 )

Maybe try throwing in another graphics card and see if it works. Try the VGA output.

Tge vga on the current card sort of works - dvi does nothing. Will any old graphics card do or does it have to have a specific no of pins or be a specific size (i dont have any spare)

Look like a corrupted driver issue. Uninstall drivers for video card, reboot and install an older version of drivers then reboot again. Let me know if this helps.

Burnt GPU. Basically, your GPU is sooo overworked that it's like a horse with three legs. Some people might treat it like a fetish, but most mainstreamers will tell you to let it out onto the pastures and get a new GPU.

It looks like there's a tuna sandwich wedged in between the CPU and heat sink. Try shifting the mass of the sandwich to the right by 6 degrees.

My vote is for a video card that's about to go. You probably had some circuitry burn out, maybe during a power surge or something? You could check and see if you have anything burnt out on the back of it.

No power surge (i don't think) although the card could have been overworked. I doubt its a driver issue since the drivers haven't been updated and the same issue is in the BIOS.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

the strange thing is that it is fine in safe mode (which I am using now)

Video card might not be using the burnt out RAM while in safe mode because of the lower power settings.
If you are still convinced it's not your GPU's RAM, re-install windows.

If thats the case you can try updating the driver and see what happens... the issue is that safe mode will be using just the 2d VGA part of the vid card which doesn't mean anything unfort.

Minidump file - anyone lend a hand reading it?

I just had a BSOD – freaked me out because I'm working on assignments at the moment and a dead PC would be disastrous.
I tried installing the debugging tool to read it but it tells me it couldn't locate the file path during installation – its sounding like its just not liking its own install exe...
I'm using Windows Vista, and I did go for the right version as far as I'm aware, so I'm not sure what's going on. I tried downloading it again etc, no luck. I'll probably spend as much time trying to sort out the debugging tool's issues as working out a solution for whatever caused the crash... so...
If someone who has the debugger installed is feeling like generating some positive karma for themselves by doing a quick read-over as to suspected problem I'd be immensely grateful (this doesn't do justice to how grateful I'd be...)
minidump is below:

Use Windows 7 or XP.
Usually a normal restart works. Although, it might be a good idea to find out the reason for the BSOD.

Yeah, well aware of Vista's issues. Its been pretty much fine, until this BSOD.
Parents' PC is XP but not at home for a few weeks, and have assignments to do in that time, hence wanting to know if there's something I should be doing to stop a more catastrophic event...

Just one BSOD?
Wouldn't crap your pants over that to be honest..............

Have you installed something recently out of the ordinary?

Nope.
The reason I'm more concerned about this BSOD is that my graphic card has had a tendency to overheat if I play games and shuts itself off to prevent damamge, and even with simple things like word processing / net surfing it sits in the 70sC if I don't force the fan up to 60%.
Case cover is off to help - it started happening after coming back from holidays. Cleaned it out best I could but didn't help the overheat issue, so some mysterious thing happened to it while I was gone.
If it is the graphic card that's caused that BSOD then I need to seriously bring forward my plans to upgrade my PSU to get a newer card before it causes any significant dmage to other parts.
I was putting it off until holidays (in 3 weeks now, but been happening since Feb).

It's things like this that make me glad that I've stayed on xp for all these years. Have you tried a restore point? I think it could be your graphics card doing it when it shuts itself down.

Invoking ideas for use of an old Nokia phone

Hey all,
I've an old Nokia 5130 express music phone, almost new condition.
But it went faulty due to simultaneous failure of some 2 or 3 ICs. The cost involved was too much, so it's kept unused since a long time.
Any ideas how out can be put to use, any ideas are welcome for example- Converting it into a webcam(is possible, with links)
Or
Screen used for some display of pics.
Please link to procedure too, if possible.
Keep your thoughts pouring

Nokias are indestructible right? Use it as a sledgehammer! That'll break that cinder block in your back yard!

Zombie head smasher would have been a great idea, but alas mine is an express music phone not the 3310.
I would get one 3310, just in order to prepare myself for the zombie apocalypse.
Any other utilitarian idea?

You could use it as action camera, like sticking it onto the dashboard and wait for accident to happen and sh*t, then post it on YouTube. 500k likes for sure.

Well whatever you do don't drop it like I did with mine.

I use my old Nokia 5310 as an alarm clock since Android can't have an alarm go off when the phone is off....
(stupid that a "smartphone" can't be "smart" enough to have the alarm work if the phone is off but a "feature" phone can.... )

Turn off all the lights in your house make it as dark as possible. Then ring your phone and look for the flash when it lights up. If it doesn't work go to another room and try again. This is always my last resort strategy before messing up the house looking for it. It's normally in my pants or shirt pocket.

This is why you should use a "Find My Phone"-thingy, so when you do lose it, like now; all you need is to press a button on your computer, and listen for the BEEEEEP (yes, that works in silent mode to)
