Before you can use a particular card, you may need to install the software driver for that card. The software drivers for the Windows CE operating system should be included with the card or be available from the card’s manufacturer. Install software drivers as you would any other software or program. For more information, see the Installing pro- grams section in this chapter.

Non-memory CompactFlash Cards that require a cable connection (for example, network interface cards, pagers, or modem cards), must be inserted in the PC Card slot rather than the CompactFlash Card slot. To insert a CompactFlash Card into the PC Card slot, you will need a PC Card adapter. For a list of recommended PC Card adapters, go to the Hewlett-Packard Web site at www.hp.com/jornada.

Installing a PC Card or CompactFlash Card

The HP Jornada 680 and 680e use a unique expansion module to accommodate both PC Cards and CompactFlash Cards in a small, portable size. You can install either a PC Card or CompactFlash Card, or install both cards at the same time.

Many PC Cards use considerable power, and can quickly drain your battery. Connect to AC power while using PC Cards.

PC Card and CompactFlash memory modules appear as folders in the My Handheld PC folder. If you have two cards installed, the folder called Storage card1 represents the first card you installed, and the folder called Storage card2 represents the second card. In some cases, additional folders may appear; for example, Storage card3, Storage card4, etc. You can eliminate unused folders by performing a soft reset. (For more information, see the Resetting section in chapter 8.)
