A friend just got one of those for his Ipaq. So far we've had good luck getting it work with everything. Zip drives, USB harddrives, and everything. As long as it doesn't need some proprietary driver set, then it should work ok. One important thing to note is that the card provides power to the USB device, but that's limited based on the capability on the handheld. Remember that the CF slot is 3.3/5V capable, so any device that needs a strong power source better be externally powered if you want to use it.

The two thing we had the most luck with were an Iomega Zip 250 USB drive and a Maxtor USB External Harddrive. The zip was powered over the USB connection while the harddrive had its own power source.

You might want to contact the manufaturer to double check their claims of this being Axim compatible though, as a lot of other sites that sell this card don't list that and have actually said its only certified with the Ipaqs. Hard to know for sure if this thing has been fully tested on an Axim.
