Home / Web Pads / Epods One General Post Clik! PC Card Works - My experience How I got the Iomega Clik! PC Card drive to work on my epods.

Clik! PC Card Works - My experience (modified 0 times) Chadman I have been following the various discussions about possibly using the Clik (now known as Pocket Zip) PCMCIA card drive. This is the one that is fully contained in a PC card, as opposed to the one that just has a PC card interface. No one reported whether they had actually tried installing one. I am happy to report that I have succesfully installed this drive on my epods, v.2.04. I followed the links in earlier posts to the cecity discussion boards where at least one person reported success on another WinCE device. Feeling empowered by this report I bid on a click PC Card drive at http://www.ubid.com I won one for $29 plus $7(!) shipping. While I was there I bid on some disks,too. Here's what I did: 1) Downloaded these drivers from Sharp's Japanese site to my epods: http://www.sbc.co.jp/telios/download/exe/clik_pc/Clik!PCCard.CAB 2) Double-clicked on the Clik!PCCard.CAB file. 3) Clicked OK to all the dialog boxes. They are mostly gibberish, presumably because they are encoded in Japanese. 4) Did a soft reset. 5) Inserted the Clik! drive. 6) Inserted a Clik! disk. The Clik! disk appears as a storage card. And an icon appears in the lower, right-hand corner. Clicking on this icon launches the TOOLS.EXE application that was installed on the epods. Thankfully this app is in English. I hope this helps you all. I'm very excited since these disks run $7 - $12 each and are 40 mb each. --Chadman (Wireless from my epods, of course.) 03-22-2001 21:04:06

RE:Clik! PC Card Works - My experience (modified 0 times) eggplant Um, if you have a clik drive in your pcmcia slot, how can you be running wirelessly? 03-22-2001 21:10:12

RE:Clik! PC Card Works - My experience (modified 0 times) eggplant Sorry, that was an honest question (it sounded obnoxious in retrospect). And thank you for posting good solid instructions on how to do it! -- e 03-22-2001 21:11:11

RE:Clik! PC Card Works - My experience (modified 0 times) Chadman Yes, that was obnoxious. To answer your question: I removed the Clik! drive to insert the wireless card. `nuff said. --Chadman (Wireless fom my epods, Clik! drive removed.) 03-22-2001 21:16:12

RE:Clik! PC Card Works - My experience (modified 0 times) eggplant I figured that was the likely answer, but maybe you had figured out a way to have them both somehow. I'm hoping some brave soul will try to mount an internal antenna for an airport card their pod, and tell us all how they did it. Wireless with nothing sticking out will be waaaay cool... 03-22-2001 21:33:01

RE:Clik! PC Card Works - My experience (modified 0 times) Someone Thank you very much! How were you able to find the cab file? 03-22-2001 23:30:31

RE:Clik! PC Card Works - My experience (modified 0 times) Chadman Someone, I read all the other posts here and at CECity ( http://www.wincecity.com/boards/ ). As Martha would say: Search. It's a good thing. --Chadman (Currently not fromthe epods.) 03-23-2001 08:22:09

RE:Clik! PC Card Works - My experience (modified 0 times) scooter I hope this works! I've got 12 Clik disks and the PC Card. It would be great! Have you noticed what kind of additional battery drain you are encountering? 03-26-2001 13:14:06

RE:Clik! PC Card Works - My experience (modified 0 times) JamesW Profile Someone recently did a test with Gladiator running off an IBM Microdrive (sorry, you'll have to search the board). The PocketZip drive (or whatever its name of the month is) should draw roughly the same current - if anything it should be better. The earlier Microdrives drew a fair bit of juice. BTW - am I the only one that finds the "Reply this topic" button a bit "All your base are belong to us"-ish? epods, 2.04 Hack, 64MB Compact Flash, SMC 2632W "I have seen the enemy, and he is us." - Walt Kelly 03-27-2001 05:43:52

RE:Clik! PC Card Works - My experience (modified 0 times) shokk Somebody set up us the button. Please. 03-27-2001 09:53:20

RE:Clik! PC Card Works - My experience (modified 0 times) JamesW Profile FDA : Yes. Shokk : Move 'reply.' For great justice. 03-27-2001 15:53:22

RE:Clik! PC Card Works - My experience (modified 0 times) scooter Works like a charm! Make sure you don't get the .zip file which is being mentioned on one of the links. Get the .CAB and follow the directions above. I believe part of it is registry settings which you obviously aren't getting with just the zip. 03-27-2001 20:45:39

RE:Clik! PC Card Works - My experience (modified 0 times) ubik I followed the directions, but the clik drive doesn't speen uo and the Toold utility says no Iomega drive is available. Has anyone got any hints on the next thing I should try? I am running a fully hacked 'pod with a 32MB CF card. 04-04-2001 09:04:45

RE:Clik! PC Card Works - My experience (modified 0 times) chrisp I'm having the same problem as ubik...no recognition and I know the card works on my notebook. My question becomes, can someone email me fatfs.dll, this being the only file that the drivers call that is part of CE. I'm under the assumption that this file is updated in the 2.04 hack. Thanks. cpapazog @ hotmail.com (Take out spaces) 04-04-2001 13:25:45

RE:Clik! PC Card Works - My experience (modified 0 times) theisgroup I am havin gthe same problem with the clic drive. I followed the instructions and epod does not recognize the drive. This is a fresh 2.04 hack thanks, 04-11-2001 18:20:57

RE:Clik! PC Card Works - My experience (modified 0 times) Chadman Hi. I am the original poster for this topic. I assure you that I am using the Clik! PC Card drive on my ePods. The Clik! disk shows up as a storage card (Storage Card2). I documented the exact steps I took to make it work above. I don't know why some have success and some don't. Maybe scooter has some insight. When I ran the CAB file I didn't change anything in the installer. I didn't change any directories or filenames. I just let it install the files where it thought they should go. I ran it from my Compact Flash on the ePods. Does anyone else have any insight as I know it can work and some have not been having success? --Chadman 04-12-2001 10:05:59

RE:Clik! PC Card Works - My experience (modified 0 times) ubik My ePod has a version 1.1 board. Is it possible that the drives will only run on the v1.2 boards? 04-12-2001 10:48:58

RE:Clik! PC Card Works - My experience (modified 0 times) theisgroup I agree with the post from chrisp. The registry is looking for a dll of fatfs.dll. This must be the key. thanks 04-12-2001 12:00:06

RE:Clik! PC Card Works - My experience (modified 0 times) ubik Can somebody post this .dll somewhere, or link to it? 04-13-2001 07:02:55

RE:Clik! PC Card Works - My experience (modified 0 times) theisgroup The Fatfs.dll is in the windows directory, you just can not view the file. I was able to get the click drive working. I did the following: hard reset epod load 204.reg soft reset epod copied clik cab file to windows directory ran the cab with defaults soft reset epod inserted click drive without disk inserted click disk icon shows up in sys tray. 04-16-2001 20:24:23
