: Xircom CF 10... comes with a PCMCIA adapter and may be used in the PCMCIA
: or CF slot (under NetBSD *or* if you [shudder] happen to use the z50's
: ROM'd CE3.0)...
The Xircom CF works on the ROM WinCE 2.1 that's in the z50's. 3.0
didn't happen until much later (although MS did release the host sync
tools 3.0 just to confuse things).
The Xircom CF also works under FreeBSD, WinCE 2.0 and I think WinCE
1.0, but my MobilePro 400 doesn't seem to work too well these days, so
I can't tell you for sure. It also works on my PocketPC 2001.
