That's very bad news since I've been meaning to use it for my wireless surveys.

I'm willing to lent the sleeve (along with the other CF to PCMCIA

anyone that can help with it's support, let's say for a couple of

I get it back some time ;-)

I've read about the reluctance of HP (or rather one of its employees)
to release more

for the info
(along with maybe some help on the Jornada 720 board) or something else fot that
