wireless, SanDisk CF+ and PPC 2000

Well,

After performing a little research, I finally broke down
and bought a SanDisk CF+ with 128 MB and Wireless for my
wife's Jornada 548. (I know, but I bought it at Fusion
2000, and it still works).

Well, the CF Wireless card appears to be absolutely
supported, but not the CF Wireless +. SanDisk
says "Pocket PC 2000 drivers are not available and will
not be made available for this card".

The Jornada is not upgradable, due to its ROM.

Because the Jornada is memory challenged, the Wireless
card with memory seemed to make sense.

I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas if alternate
drivers will work. The CF Wireless driver will load, but
will not detect the CF+ Card. (or another vendor if I
need to change out cards).

Any help is greatly apprectiated.

Thanks!

>> memory challenged <<

While that is true, I have found that it's rare to need access to that
memory when using the wifi card... the primary need would be if you
expected to be downloading large media files online.

For several years have been using the Jornada, then an Axim with a
Symbol card and never missed the memory... simply swap cards before and
after each wifi session.

On a related note, I found the hard way that the wifi card should never
be left in the slot when you are not using it... knocked the Jornada off
of a low table with the card in place and it hit "card first"
...separating the CF receiver pins from the Jornada motherboard.

Hope this helps...
