Will this work? I've got a 64MB CF card here, and am more than happy shelling out a few quid for an adapter, but preferably I'd like it to work with the device. Has anyone done this with such an early one?

Hi;

I don't have a Compaq C-120 to test this out, but I do have a NEC MobilePro 400 running WinCE 1.0 (a similiar unit). I used a 256MB SanDisk CF card in a Simple Technology CF to PCMCIA adapter. It worked fine both reading and writing files.

You should not have a problem wiith your setup.

Wicked sick, thanks very much! I bought the adapter before, it should arrive tomorrow or Monday, so we shall see. If it doesn't work, I've got another palmtop on the way, a Jornada 690, which I know it'll work in.

Yes, it will work fine.

Anything up to 2GB is safe for CE1.x

Doesn't work. Completely unrecognized.

EDIT: It's just decided to work. After a bunch of waffle about how it'll probably set my batteries on fire or something.

Of course, the CF card you use in it has to be formatted to FAT, not FAT32.

Yeah I know. It was formatted right, I'd just not pushed it in properly.

A lot of the earlier devices triggered that warning. Sometimes plugging them in to mains power stops it popping up.

I just told it to get stuffed, it works without an issue. Rechargeable batteries and a CF card in an adapter in there, and it's working perfectly!
