I have the CF CARD...
I have the serial I/O CF Card from Targus. I have been unable to get the card to work with the Stinger driver. I did some investigating and there is a Brighthand post for another driver that is now a dead link.
But in the messages there was someone that said he connected the stinger to another PDA (the stinger driver version 1.0 was designed for the IPAQ by Larry Bank from BitBank Software) Today I purchased the part (Null Modem Adapter) that was mentioned in above article. That does not seem to work either.
When I have everything hooked up and start the Stinger Driver the diagnostic sceen with a picture of the Stinger opens. It says under the Pic that the port is ready but the stinger is not found! This was very frustrating so I did more seaching and found the email address of Larry Bank and sent him an email. I explained what I was trying to do and that many people on Aximsite were hoping to get this setup working!
He responded By saying that:
Chuck,
My stinger program is hardcoded to use COM1 since this is the only available port on most CE devices. Find out what COM port is provided by your card and I will build you a new version.
Larry B.
This was GREAT news! I emailed Targus with his question and asked them to send me any technical information they have (PDF?) or anything else. That is where this project stands. IF Larry will spend some time on this for US at AXIMSITE we should get this thing working very soon!
If any of you have any additional suggestions I could try please post here or PM me.
