Question

Hello.

I'm thinking of buying a CF adapter springboard. Will i be able to upload to the 8 mb compact flash card using my hotsync directly, or will i have to buy a PC CF card reader and upload all the Palm stuff using the reader?

Thanks in advance for any information.

Regards,
Kosir

Both of them will work. The MAtchbook drive comes tith the FAfilemover software that lets you copy already hotsynced files from your Visor onto the Compactflash card. Since the Matchbook drive used a FAT16 file system, it maeks it possible to use any standard adaptor. The adapter method is much faster, and that's to me the best way, but to save money you don't need one.

No, but as Miradu said - you can HotSynch and then copy it to the card. Buying a reader (Which are very cheap now for CF) is the best solution.
