If we had an expansion pak which could take two CF-2 cards, we'd be
there. Then, you could use the iPAQ to move files from the CF card
to a microdrive.
As it is, all you could do would be to use the rs232 interface to
move files onto a microdrive. Slow is the work which ponderingly
comes to mind. Eventually. After a CTS break or three. :)
Had the 1110's companion chip been used, or had there been a CF-2
slot in addition to the expansion port, this application would've
been much easier. (The 1110 is only a USB client. The companion
chip is required for USB server support.)
You might be able to create something based on the LART which is
in general compatable with the iPAQ and supports that application.
I've no firm guess on the cost for such a thing, though.
