Just picked up one of these for free...

Neat little rig, all I need to find now is an Ne2000 compatible PCMCIA Ether card for it...



Old but still cool

Is that a notebook running Windows CE? very cool.

Not a note book a PDA...

32MB ram and Windows all in rom, Office CE, Word Excel, Power Point IE and a stripped down version of Outlook...

A PCMCIA slot and a Compact Flash Slot. Instant ON, touch screen, IR, all the the goodies... No floppy CD or HD...

Hard as hell to find a serial cable to run sync with, custon little weenie jack on the 880, Got a 16mb CF card ordered off ebay and a reader...

Gotta find an ether card as well so I can surf the net with it, It will support my wireless SMC card but right now I have no way to get the drivers on it till the CF card arrives...

Mips 4000 Drivers for Windows CE 2.11 ain't up on the net in too many places...

Fun none the less... ( I wonder if there is a CE version of Doom.... )

You got a great deal for free. Let me know if you find anymore like that. I also have the 880 and found the netgear MA401 card to work fine. It was also the cheapest one I was able to find in Ebay at the time. The driver you have to use is the compaq wl100 driver. I tried others, but the problem I ran into each time was getting the right card, but the wrong version of it. Something most of the websites don't tell you. Mine is version 2.5. I use mine for school work, mostly writing papers. Good luck.

Welcome octophin , glad to see ya mate!

Greetings octophin! Welcome to 4Peeps...

Yeah I have an SMC 2632W V2 which has the same problem.... load the compaq drivers and the whole machine gerts real slow... V1 of the card would have been perfect...
Like you say the sites are not updated very often with version info...

I'll look around for the MA401, thanks for the tip!

so now that a couple of days have passed...how is it Bro?

Sweet little rig Painer...

The SO has claimed it for her writing (fire up word, type away... shut it off, hit the power button and your back in a second where you left off ) so I wont get much playtime outa it till I get a net card.

Picked up a cheap Compact Flash card off ebay for a way to move data back a forth to the PC...

Fun toy! Ya gotta like Windows in ROM

Cant see much surfing done with IE3 on it though, we needs a CE version of FireFox...

I have been doing some research on the browser also. It is very limited, especially with email. If anyone here knows some pds email websites, please let me know. The problem with the nec is that it is running on ce2.11. You can upgrade it to ce 3.0 but you lose use of the functions such as the usb port. If you did however, you could change the settings enough to get in and use it to pay your bills online. 6 of 1 ect.......

Sweet...

As far as I know that USB port only works with a mouse anyway...

Where does one go to aquire such roms or images of such...

I'll have Slackware on that damn thing yet...
