The wireless part works in OZ 3.53.  I could never get the memory part to work and could not get a working browser or working email with OZ 3.53...other than THAT...so I switched back to the Sharp 3.13 ROM.

The card does not work with the Sharp 3.13 ROM "yet" because no one has written drivers or configs that make it work,  I guess,  because I see all kinds of prism3 cards listed in the Sharp config files and can't see why someone couldn't get it to work.  But then I'm not a developer ....I just play one on the forums.     I can't get the memory part to work on the 3.13 either despite lots of postings about adding a sandisk conf file to etc/pcmcia to get recognition of the card with that ROM.  

I like the card - it's small, lightweight,  doesn't block my stylus and has memory so I could store my ebooks on it and not have to constantly remove the wireless card.  It's also going for just $20 - like on Woot.

Has anyone gotten the wireless and the memory to work on this card?  I've been mostly looking at the Linksys WCF-12 since I know it works with OZ 3.5.3 and I can get it locally for $60 Canadian ($20ish cheaper than the SanDisk).  However, if I can use the 128MB on the SanDisk card, then it might be nice to have as swap space as long as the it all works fine.

Can anyone confirm or deny if this thing works with sharp roms? Like 3.10?

Glad I read this, I was just about to buy one.







Edit: Thanks Tombraider!

It does not work with Sharp ROM 3.10 or 3.13.    

I have it working with the Hentges Opie ROM just for network.  Although you can copy files "internally" to the SanDisk card through File Manager,  you cannot access them through any software and they don't appear in the documents tab.
