For potential compact flash card or microdrive users, I would suggest taking a look at this before purchasing: http://www.semsons.com/comflastopcc.html You can use this adapter with a seperate PCMCIA hard drive to significantly increase memory for little money (they normally come in 2, 5, and 8 GB size). The only downside is these drives suck up memory and you need to make sure that your compact flash port (I'm not sure about the axim) outputs enough power for the drive. I'd suggest also purchasing a power bank or extra batteries. I have not tried this yet as I don't yet have my axim, but I plan to make such a set up once I get mine. PCMCIA hard drives are available at most sites that sell laptops, and I believe the adapter website also carries power banks for PDAs. If anyone has tried this or anything similar, please tell me how it worked out.
