OK, tested some cards - in brackets is what these cards were reported as in Windows. Kodak 16MB R0207MT (Kodak SD) OK Canon 32MB FC-32M (Hitachi XXM2.3.0) Did not work Canon 32MB FC-32MH (SanDisk SDCFB-32) OK after SFORMAT Hitachi 30MB HB286030C2 (Hitachi CV5.1.1) Did not work I need to do some more...

OK, unfortunately not all cards work for the Sharp. Even for the HP 200LX which is less picky not all cards work. If you have a bigger CF card you will need to make a 32MB partition and format it with FAT16 (FAT32 will NOT work). At least SOME old 64, 128 and 256 cards work that way. However - you c...

OK so here are instructions about how to use FDISK with Flash/CF cards: Partitioning a SanDisk FlashDisk or CompactFlash. Click on My Computer Click on Control Panel Click on System Click on Device Manager Click on View Devices by Type Double Click Disk Drives Double Click on GENERIC IDE DISK TYPE 8...

OK, at least we are now a bit further. So from what you write i assume you needed the cardware trial version? At least you now have a working SRAM card. Generally speaking - only CF cards up to 32MB work. Maybe some larger cards work if you create a primary partition of 32MB or less, but i only had ...

OK, i tried it out on my XP laptop and the good news is that the transcend driver is much better than i expected. I was able to directly access the SRAM card in the windows file explorer and read/write to it without any other tools. So at least in my case i didn't need the cardware driver at all... ...

OK someone at the vintage computer forum had a great idea - a disk image! Unfortunately WinImage won't read the Win98 SRAM driver devices... What i found was some guys article who used some Win2k driver (Windows 2000 stuff usually works in XP, too) and some proprietary cardware (there's a trial vers...

Tried the Poqet FORMAT.COM tool and it seems it doesn't work outside a poqet. I posted for help in the Vintage Computer forums - usually some guys there know a lot about formatting, partitions and such. Maybe someone can help.

Yeah i finally rescued the driver discs. Drivers for Win 3.0, 3.1, fonts and DOS utilities. Added links to the bottom of the description pages. Enjoy!

If i have some time tonight i will research a bit more. One idea i currently have is to try out the Poqet format program on my WIndows 98 laptop. If that works i could just upload it and everyone can use it from a normal laptop.

OK, i didn't have much time but i could still experiment a bit. The problem is definitely related to the formatting. Unfortunately Windows 98 does not give out any information about the formatting, so i will need either a good tool for detailed info or setup a linux box. So i did loads of formatting...
