Hi,

I just baought a Jornada 420 on ebay. I wanted to find out what is the max size of a compact flash card I could use with it. I looked around and there are places that say I can use any size or speed, and yet when I called HP they said I could only use a 32mb cflash card. I appretiate any input. The Jornada runs on Windows CE 2.11.
Thank you, Confused

Wwow! Talk about storage heaven!

If only there is a way to get the system to use that as program RAM and not storage only!

Maybe something like a VMM or something ... swapfile on the CF card!

Philips had the right idea.
Add a DRAM port on the thing. It's like adding a CF card except it is instantly addressable Main RAM.

Alas the standard never took off - it was presented. VHS vs Beta, CF vs DRAM
