I read this article on Brighthand about an upgrade compact flash drive for the Life Drive. Replacement CompactFlash Card Greatly Improves the LifeDrive ...
... Don't you read what you post? OK, here it is again: "4 GB is the largest drive this handheld supports." There, the experts have spoken. FWIMBW, while this...
When I bought my LifeDrive, this was the very first thing I did. I went to Fry's and bought a known-compatible CompactFlash drive (SanDisk Ultra III) and used...
That's a lot of IFs,Tony, and closer to $200USD, than $0.02USD worth... Ian this post <http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/LifeDrive/message/1923> ... really...
Ian, I don't know where you got that $200USD value (I know part of it was tongue-in-cheek, but the value is fairly way off). The full instructions on this mod...
I don't have access to a linux machine. Is there a way to do this with a windows machine? I really like my LD, but it is too slow to hotsync some of my huge...
Yes, it's doable entirely on a Windows machine. however, because Windows abstracts the hardware away it's considerably slower using the Windows tools. The...
I have a LifeDrive and am using the same software that I had with my old Tungsten E2. With my E2 I had the optional WiFi SD card that I used to get on the...
DEAR TONY; SORRY, I COULD'NT FIND YOUR LINK TO DO IT IN WINDOWS. ON THE OTHER HAND, DO I HAVE TO PHYSICALLY REMOVE THE DRIVE AND REPLACE WITH A SCAN DISK? HOW...
If your tools are limited, then you're probably going to have a tough time. you have to partially disassemble the LifeDrive to complete the mod. And, yes,...
If this mod is so much better than the internal microdrive and I would imagine the CF chip would have been cheaper that the microdrive for Palm to purchase...
Actually, the compactflash card cost significantly more than the equivalent sized microdrive. If you look at costs even today (though they have decreased a...
This looks like both a 'can do' and a 'should do'. Would any of you consider posting the hd image (minus the user data of course)? That would cut out a couple...
The LifeDrive is discontinued and I was an early adopter, I enjoyed the capacity but moved to a T|X as soon as I could afford one, I use the LD as a posh media...
You can't really post the drive image for the LD. While I have it backed up for my own edification, it's not doable publicly for on really big reason -- size....
You'll need this then. http://hackndev.com/node/196 I think it requires a GNU/Linux system though. There's a file, which you cannot get from that webpage...
... model, ... <http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/LifeDrive/message/1921> ... Ian, Do you only spend your time picking apart posts? How about using that...
No, it cannot be fooled. Per my previous posts, the LD treats the compact flash card as a hard disk drive (hence the need for the proper reporting of...
If it does this check every time it powers up then in must be like a BIOS. If so can the drive size be increased in this BIOS so it will take a bigger drive? ...
The values in the rom would have to be manually edited. It can be done but would require some poking around. Anyone had a Ld they want to donate for the cause?...
I've had to do some hard resets in the past when Fatal exceptions lost all of my preferences. I now have Resco back up and Reset doctor and the complete...
When I plug the Ld in, it will not turn on, but the red light at the top turns on...can't get it to soft reset and can't get it to turn on to hard reset either...
I got my lifedrive back in February 2007 (around that time frame)and not had any problem with it...love it...and starting yesterday I kept getting Fatal...
I just got off the phone with Palm. My LD was refurbished. I bought this item believing it was NEW from ebay. It appeared to be new in manufacturers...
Check the auction description very good. If it says refurbished in any of the small print then you are SOL. If it says new in box or new in any way then you...
After you've done a hard reset, try using the LifeDrive for a while BEFORE you Hotsync to see if any exceptions occur. If there's something wrong one of the...
This upgrade seems like a fantastic idea. I'm seeing two kinds of readers for these drives on eBay, the IDE adapter and the USB adapter. Can anyone comment on...
... If you've got the option of going with the IDE version, DEFINITELY use it. I've heard many reports of the USB adapters "timing out" in the middle of a...
My Lifedrive (which I treasure) was a hand me down and arrived without documentation, cradle or CD. I've managed to overcome most of this except the CD for the...
