Late Model PPC with PC Sleeve?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

The last iPAQ would be the 5555, and that will work with the PCMCIA+ and
dual PCMCIA sleeves. As far as I know the iPAQ line is the only ones that
have a PCMCIA sleeve. And those sleeves will NOT work with a cardbus card,
by the way. The 555X, 545X and 397X all have an upgrade to Windows Mobile
2003. I would recommend the 5555 or 5550.

Then the Asus MyPal a730w and the Toshiba e800 would support a USB host
function with Windows Mobile 2003, but they do not support PCMCIA adapters.
Unless you care to use a CF to PCMCIA adapter. Not that the CF to PCMCIA
adapter may be only able to supply limited power, and not work with high
power PCMCIA cards.

I have a Jornada 568, and that has a "sled" with bigger battery, into which
a PCMCIA card (or CF card + PCMCIA adaptor) can be used.
