I am a relatively new owner of a J720 so I am not very familiary with some of the features or sizes of it. I have seen some wireless CF cards that don't have antennas, don't seem to be any bigger than a CF memory card. Has anyone found a wireless CF card that will fit into the J720 slot? I know it is on the bottom.

I know that it is a common habit of most hpc owners to use the pcmcia slot for toys and the cf slot for memory. Since they have come out with pcmcia hard drives - last one I saw was 5 gb, and I think they are looking at bigger ones - I have thought about changing my habit.

In the idea world...I would be able to use the same wireless card with my NEC 880, J720 and my PPC 2002 Am I dreaming?

...and, while we are talking about size, j720 and wireless cf cards, what about a bluetooth cf card in a j720?

...is it possible to have the cf door on the j720 not completely closed and still use the cf card? I guess I could rig some kind of rubber feet for the j720....

Im not sure exactly seeing that i've never seen a J720 in real life, but if it has the same design as the 680/690 there is a little peg foot type thing on the bottom that flips out if you are using say somthing like a wired ethernet card wich ive used a sockt lpe card to make it flush when sitting down on the desk or what ever....not sure about a wireless cf though.....

There is only one thing about the 720 that I do not like: The CF slot on the bottom, personally, I like it on the side like my HP 360LX...
