Very Computer

My understanding is that the 3c will only take cards designed to plug
into a 3c and not PCMCIA type.

Alex

Does anyone know whether PC-Card (PCMCIA) Type-III harddisks
can be used as drive C: on the Psion (3c)? Or are only modem
cards supported?

From the pictures I've seen i guess the adapter is suitable for type
II cards only.

Brendan,

I actually saw and drooled over the PC Card adapter at COMDEX.  It is
specifically made to support modem cards and nothing else.  Further there
is to be a 3a version in the near future.

Regards,

Uriel

: Of course I meant the PC-Card adapter which is available for the 3c
: (and maybe for the 3a as well)... PC-Cards are twice as large as SSDs!
