Hello everyone, I am just wondering if it possible to attach a hard drive to your palm, so, that you can hold more stuff on it? I know that there is a guide that tells you how to attach a hard drive to an ipod, but I couldn't find one for a palm. Yes, I know, most ppl say that it defeats the purpose of having a palm, since, the device is supposed to be portable, but I was wondering if it is possible to do that? Thanks a lot  |

You could get a lifedrive, it already has a hard drive in it.

That's true, but I mean if I wanted to modify my palm, is it possible to attach a hard drive to it? Thanks EDIT: What if you were to use a microdrive instead of a hard drive? Is there any way to hook this up to a palm? |

The LD HD, AFAIK, is using an IDE interface only existent in the LD.
But what you could do is somehow create an IDE-to-SDIO interface and drivers. Do a serch for IDE-to-SDIO interfaces, because someone probably attempted to do something like this already...

IDE is more like CF-Card interface...

Aren't there CF to SD converters? Maybe combining 3 or so gadgets together...

One thing though, what's SDIO and is IDE(Integrated Drive Electronics)? I have heard both terms before, but I can't recall what they are. |

SDIO - serial interface used for memory cards and other stuff
IDE - parallel interface used for HD, CD and DVD drives, very similar to CF (Compact Flash) -interface and derived from the old AT-Bus

I actually have a 4gb sd card, which permite to get resized films, all the emulator roms i wish, zdoom and the "Z" family. I guess i'll be a bit short on space if a psx emulator is released one day. but actually i have enough space. Using a mini compactflash harddrive like in the lifedrive would kill the battery fast, meanwhile a 4gb sd card keep it alive a bit more time. And as the 8gb SD/MMC are still out, they will be very affordable when a GBA/PSX emulator will be released (if ever). |
