3Com 3C589x Driver for Handheld PC 2.0

On my 3C589C with Combo-Dongle there is on backplate:

 
EA=00609724AC092 

some barcode 

SN: 6GQ24AC092

On laptop (some old 233MHz with Win2k) it works fine, but not on 620LX German.

Any chance of you getting the download from the CESD and sending in the diagnostic settings fragenmensch?
You need a bootable floppy and that download. That's all.

Thanks for that, I have updated the XLS file.

I would expect your card, based upon current data, to work on 2.00, SH3 2.11 and Arm HPC2000. It wont work on MIPS 2.11, or a non-english device. That's the theory we need to disprove.

hey non english is the point here?

i can try my D's in a ce 2.0 german compaq 800c (it's basically a 2000c..) interested?

this thing has the NSP in ROM already even though it's 2.0... hm i wonder if that has something to do with the problem...

(also i'm getting a german hpc2000 mips, a jvc mp-c33 )

Test it under anything you can get your hands on

I got a non-english device :-(

i have read all of the availible tutorials and forum posts about the 620 and 3com card and it seems like they should be very compatible. They aren't working though, i have done a hard reset then installed sp1, then NSP, then the drivers made by HPC factor. There is never a icon in the system tray when i tell it where the driver is, but the card does blink. It works in my laptop just fine but not my poor 620.

Please help a n00b!

well, same on my 620lx. but you should post in the sticky thread... btw do you have a C or a D version?

Threads merged

Are you sure that your 620 is a 2.00 device and not a 2.11 device?

I don't know how to tell if it is C or D. It is 100% 2.0. English version.

Look at the model number of the adapter. You are looking for 3C589xxxx

I don't see a model number but i do see the number 3c589 on the front and on the back it says the EA=0020AF299CBA and SN=6AD299CBA. Does that help?

You can use the diag tool to be sure, but chances are you have an original version of the 589 chipset

does that mean it won't work or is that good?
