[ "he" = me above ]

The box reads "vga out pc card, hp jornada 720 series handheld pc" and
the booklet claims:

"Note: Thins display card is designed for use with the HP Handheld PC.
Use of this card with other devices and other non-HP handheld devices is
not supported."

"The [jornadas] gave the VGA display driver preinstalled. You do not
need to install the driver from the CD-ROM"

However, HP is usually far from stupid (both in Tech and Marketing), so
I'd say that the fact that a driver comes along at all despite it being
preinstalled in the HP handhelds strongly indicates that it works
elsewere too. However, I currently have no PocketPC iPaq to test it with
- that may change in a day or two, but I'm sure Jim&CO have verified
this already?
