Im pretty sure it is possible but I can't find the info anywhere.. I should write such tips down

Anyway, Im fairly sure it is possible to use your axim as a 'regular USB drive' i.e. just link it to your PC with USB and use it as a 'cardreader'. But I don't know how. Anyone?

Yeah, this would suit me just fine myself...

Before you connect your axim via cradle go into task manager and end the processes called wcescomm.exe and WCESMgr.exe I think those are the last two processes you need to end. Then see in my computer you should still be able to double click on your PPC device.

Correct me if I'm wrong

You're not wrong and not completely right. Your trick will help it not going into 'activesync' however I don't know if that's such a bad thing in general.

But I asked for 'USB disk mode' and the reason I asked this was that an activesync 'mobile device' in your explorer is not really a drive. I would love to see my axim show up as a DRIVE LETTER so I can for example run custom 'sync' programs to it...

My understanding is that the capability was built into WM5, however Dell did not enable this.

I could be wrong though.

Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.

Wish they had this feature with wm2003. Reg hackers?

 

You know I think it would be easier, at least for me, if you could see it as a drive letter.
