Iomega Clik driver for Win CE?

[lady_morana]

I am looking for a driver so I can use my Iomega Clik Drive for a PCMCIA slot on a MobilePro 770 with Win CE 3.0

Last time I checked it the Iomega Clik drive did not support
the Windows CE V3.0

Have you tried Clik Drives @ Iomega (http://www.iomega.com)

Good luck
:D

Iomega never provided a driver past CE 1.0 And I dont have that driver on my CD. It is also not posted on the Iomega site. They now now longer support it al all being as it is not longer manufactured.

Would you have a book for the Mobil Pro? I am looking for a copy.

Then I would say sell it on ebay to a laptop user and get
something else.

I have read where someone got this working easily on a IBM WorkPad (same MIPS processor) with drivers they downloaded from a Japanese Iomega site. I can do some research and try to find the driver if you would like to to try it.

I have not personally tried it it in either my IBM Workpad (that I used to own) or my MP750c (upgraded to CE 2.11 that I currently own) because the Clik drive has never really been in a price range (even at recent close-out) that makes it more affordable than even a 128mb CF card. Sure, it's a pretty cool little device, but it only holds like 40mb (right?), and it requires a driver for use in even a true notebook computer, so it's not like it's going to get you more easy data transfer/sharing options or anything. If you put a CF card in a $10 PCMCIA adapter, it will be recognized by any notebook computer running Win95 or newer, usually without installing any extra drivers. You can also get a USB CF card adapter so the card can be read by just about any modern computer via USB. If you do need drivers to see a CF card, then they are readily available on the Win95 (or greater) CD, so it's not like you're searching the internet for drivers, etc. This is just my opinion on this, but I still think that Iomega had a pretty good thing going with the Clik until the price of CF memory went down so much. This is also why I don't own a IBM Microdrive -- they're just not priced competitively against the larger, faster, and less power-hogging CF cards.

I actually had a clik working on a 780 a few years back, and the driver WAS something crazy, I believe from Japan. I no longer have a mobilepro (yet), and sold my clik drive a while ago, too. But, I'll see if I can dig it up for you.

I tried the Japanese drive for the clik drive. It "said" it installed OK. But it would never recognize whent he disk was in the drive. And when I uninstalled it, it messed something up!. I had some music on a 19 mg Cf disk I used to play, but now it says that a "component" is missing in the pathway....?!

Now I dont know hwat to do at all.

Which update did you post? I found the one that I used on my 780 many moons ago, if you'd like me to forward it to you.
