To which Frank replied...
They are. Describe "doesn't work in my
200LX" more fully.
If you don't care about the bits on the card, reformat it in the
200LX: "FDISK100", then "FORMAT A:". I picked up a lot of several
16MB SDCFB cards on eBay a little while ago and this was what I did to
test them.
It acts like it doesn't recognize the card. If I do a fdisk100, it says
something to the effect that "fdisk not supported on drive a", and if I do a
format "cannot format drive a". The compact flash card and pcmcia adapter
does work fine in the digital camera I took it out of. Perhaps the pcmcia
adapter that came from the camera isn't quite standard (it's a very old
camera)? I dunno. I am the first owner of the 200LX and I have never used
any pcmcia devices in it, perhaps it is broken? I hate to spend money on
another CD & PCMCIA adapter if it's broken :\
You do know about HPLX-L, don't you? While the
200LX is getting close
to on-topic here, it's definitely on-topic there.
No I didn't, I should go
look at it :)
