Help with iPaq3630 and CF satnav problem? Expansion options?

Sorry, I'm not too sure which forum to post this question so I thought I would try here.

I have recently purchased a pretec pocket pc expansion pack (compact flash) and I have an iPaq 3630 but I have just realised that I will not have enough space on the iPaq for the map software so I will need another expansion slot.

I have seen a couple of cf expasion jackets but not a double one. Does anyone know if such a thing exists? Or if you can suggest an alternative solution?

Have a look at the GPS Jackets. They come with built-in CF card slot.

Something like this

Ahm... tough luck I would say. The only option would be a dual PC Card jacket, but that's very bulky...

Yes, you need two adapters for this to work. But they are dirt cheap, less than 5 GBP i'd guess.

Hi Stu.
Another dual CF expansion jacket is available from Pitech:-
http://www.pitech.com/hardware/iCFBA/ipCFBA_index.htm

It also has an internal battery and this increases the operating time of the IPAQ.
I got one recently for my H5550 and my Syson CF sits in the top slot, with a CF card in the other.
I can use the SD slot on the IPAQ for storing other data.

You'll have to buy direct from the US and the shipping is nearly as expensive as the unit (£/$ rate works for you at the moment though).

Hope this helps.
