Re: Using Axim as a disk drive

ActiveSync lets you turn off file conversion and allows saving multiple files to the SD card via file explorer. Still, it is not exactly a simple task, and it is mostly manual.

Is there any way to treat the SD card as a drive so it can be addressed with xcopy in a batch file? Or maybe a better, automated way?

Is there any way to turn file conversion ON for usual Axim files and OFF for "disk drive" files? Again for automated file transfers.

Thanks.

If you're going to want t odo that then you might as well spend like $30 on a card readre, that will automatically mount the card as a drive (or if you use multiple-card-readers, each separate on as a separate drive), and will be a lot faster. I use CF cards in much the same way as those keychain things.
