Palm m505 handheld Message #1 Posted by Dane on 18 Apr 2001, 8:39 p.m. Has anyone seen the new palm? the "expansion card" looks suspiciously like a HP41 module. Check it out http://www.palm.com/products/palmm505/

Rodríguez (Argentina) on 19 Apr 2001, 8:29 a.m., in response to message #1 by Dane It may look like, but the technology changed so much in the last 20 years that it is almost sure that capacity, architecture, signalling, voltage levels, clock speeds, etc. are very different! (An HP 41 memory module holds about 500 bytes of memory and costed about U$S 50; a current FlashCard will held some 50.000.000 bytes at the same price).

We better get Scully and Mulder on the case right away! Seriously, so what? Compact Flash cards look like HP41 modules too. What's the big deal?
