SanDisk SDP3B series PCMCIA flash cards work in the HP 200LX -- I have an
85MB one -- and are fairly common and inexpensive on eBay.
You can also get a CF card and an adapter. On cards larger than 512MB, you
might need the ACECARD driver, available from SUPER
(http://www.palmtop.net/super.html).

I have a SanDisk compactflash card, 4mb SDCFB with a PCMCIA adapter. It
doesn't work in my 200LX. I thought sandisk was one of the "usually works
with 200LX" cards.
I'd like to buy something on ebay, but need to know which ones will work :\
Any guidance?
Jay

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.
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.

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 :\

No I didn't, I should go
look at it :)

The CF card I use is a Sandisk SDCFB, also.
Are you running the cic100 card and socket services driver?
Go to a DOS prompt and run mem /c to find out.
If you aren't running it, you won't be able to use any flash cards, and
most other PCMCIA cards also.
If you need to run it, it is in the d: drive in ROM. In the bin
directory.
If you boot the 200LX without an autoexec.bat and config.sys in the c:
drive, it uses the ones in d: by default. You can also hit the alt key
right after booting to tell it to boot from the d: drive.
Remember that booting will turn on the serial port, so you need to go
into setup and turn it off so it doesn't drain the batteries too soon. A
nice program for doing that is ppal.exe.

I'm having no problems with 64MB Lexar CF cards in an IBM CF-PCMCIA
adapter on my 200LX.
