Title: Built-in Microdrive on the 5500?
Post by: LavaDevil on October 02, 2004, 02:12:29 pm

I saw somewhere that the SL-5500 had a 1GB Microdrive. Is that true? If so, how can you make it work?

No Sharp Zaurus series device has an built-in microdrive, although all of them support them when attached externally.

Go to Ebay and grab  4GB one ...best price per MB...but make sure you get the right serial numbers  (based on last few digits....there is a thread in the forums somewhere that discusses this).
