Chris,
Interestingly enough I decided to try the card again while returning
Zoomer to stock configuration and I found the following: I got the card
formatted with HP100LX, setup \GEOWORKS\DOCUMENT and \GEOWORKS\WORLD, copied
a few files from pc, such as your FAQ in notebook format. Both the Zoomer
and HP100LX read the card fine now. The card name I gave using Zoomer
shows up as a label while inserted in my HP100LX.
Before I did this I set up my Zoomer with an ini file posted in c.s.p that
is supposed to beef up the performace of the Zoomer. There might be a few
options that have been changed in that ini file.
Thanks for the info.
