PCMCIA CF adapter

While at mediamarkt I also got a Nikon PCMCIA CF card adapter. It’s
only 14CHF and will save me a lot of time reflashing the iPAQs. Right
now it takes around 20min to reflash iPAQs via serial port.

Plugged it in, recognized as hde: SanDisk SDCFH-256, CFA DISK
drive
.

Check which device it is:

$ fdisk -l /dev/hde

Disk /dev/hde: 256 MB, 256901120 bytes16 heads, 32 sectors/track, 980 cylindersUnits = cylinders of 512 * 512 = 262144 bytes

Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System/dev/hde1   *           1         979      250608    6  FAT16

Add entry to /etc/fstab:

/dev/hde1       /mnt/cf         vfat    rw,user,noauto,umask=0000       0	0

Check:

$ mount /mnt/cf$ ls /mnt/cfdcim/  images/  misc/  print/

Nice.

Now it’s time to move to the iPAQ installation via CF notes…
