Looking for extended batteries for those handhelds and empty battery case for Workpad z50.
Also need the 32 MB RAM Upgrade for z50.
Should be at a reasonable price (shipping from the US is often too expansive...) and in good working conditions.

Andreas

it's just a standard 64 MB notebook SD ram... of course you need to test it to be absolutely sure it works.

It would be great if this was true..
IBM used SO-Dimms with EDO instead of SDRAM.
I´ve just tried to put in a standard SDRAM dimm but it won´t even fit in the slot.
The gap is in the middle between the contacts whereas normal SO-DIMMs are somewhat asymmetric.

huh, well then i'm sorry if i was wrong. a friend of mine had an Aero and he told me that...
hmm i asked again and he says that it is a SODIMM SD ram, PC66. and he's 100% sure it's not EDO.
if your standard SD ram is not SODIMM, it won't fit of course.

I have a z50 battery, it's of no use to me. Make me an offer plus shipping, no reasonable offer refused :-P Over Ebay if you'd like, or just with Paypal or just MO. :-)

Aero 8000 is completely different.
AFAIK it´s the only handheld pc you can upgrade with standard SO-DIMMs.
Have done with mine. Runs fine with 64 MB!

Hi Pete,

and thanks for your offer!
As I told before it´s all a matter of shipping costs.
How much will it be to Germany?

$5 plus shipping? I'm uncertain of the charge it can hold, and it has a good ding on the side (only cosmetic).... Lemme see if I can dig it out first. Shipping shant be too much, I'll heavy foam it and shove it in a padded envelope.

Thanks for you offer but I just got a new one.
Still looking for the 32 MB RAM for my workpad...
BTW the biggest cost part IS shipping.
It´s $25 and more
