EXCELLENT! Thanks Rich!

I would expect the mount to work on later h3900, h5100, h5400, h5500
series iPaqs too, since they use the same sleeves and cradles.

Curiously, I opened the plug on my iPaq-GPS cable and found that
there were two carefully soldered jumper-wires joining several pairs
(?) of contacts. Anyone know why? I thought it might be to double up
on power, but this would have been better done at the other end of
the cable (there were plenty of unterminated wires available in the
lead).

I had expected just 5v, gnd, data-in and data-out to be needed. Is
it possible that some of the advanced data-comms pins have to be
jumpered for an iPaq to communicate with a gps?

I could peel off the tin sides and try to determine exactly which
pins are jumpered, but a magnifying glass will be needed . . boy is
it delicate in there!!

Cheers,

Jim

Trust that you've got some sleep by now Paul? This product, readily
available from Anywhere-Map, could be just the thing you need to
prove to TEKK that their price should have tumbled down by now. As
Rich says, once the price is right we will tend to buy them in
multiples. I for one would have bought straight from seeing them on
your beaut web site if the price had been reasonable.
Thanks for all of the time and effort that you put into your site,
it really is very good.
