Pen drives and PDA question...

[Bires]

I would like to get a PDA with the special portable version of Windows but I'm concerned that my pen drive won't work in it. It needs a driver in Win98, but not in WinXP and Win2000. Would I be able to use it without a driver?

Thanks in advance.

You mean one of the little USB memory sticks? Does the PDA have USB?

[Bires]

I mean my little USB pen drive. I was looking at that Toshiba PDA, and it has a cable that allows USB devices to be plugged into it.

I think it depends on exactly what port of windows you get. I believe the newest CE.NET has USB Host Support.

That sounds pretty wild. Although, a lot of newer pocket pc's support compact flash etc... why not use that?

[Bires]

Don't they use their expansion ports as added system memory, like a hard drive? I want to use a PDA to:

1. Sync files from my home and my lab using my USB pen drive like a floppy drive
2. Program my FlashAdvance with the USB linker

I have a Sony SJ30. Is there an adapter that I can get to go from the card socket and use one of these little cute USB drives?

buy one at curcuit city, try it, take it back.

In case you don't have USB support on your PDA, you can use this as a 'go between'. They have SD/MMC and CompactFlash versions.
