Hi! I would appreciate your help in the following subject:
I would like to use a WiFi card with my QTek 1010. Since it appears that the 1010 is not equipped by default with a SDIO slot, I can not use the WiFi card...
My question is: is it possible somehow to make my 1010 compatible with SDIO cards? (ROM upgrade maybe???)
Thanks a lot!
Oliver
no it's hardware
the cpu in xda1 dont have a SD interface so require an external chip to handle the sd interface
xda2 and later have a cpu which have an SD interface which support SDIO
unless one could find a chip which had the same legs and same interface and was in general 100% compatible with the SD interface chip in the xda1 one could solver it out and replace it
but possibly one would also run into driver related issues as roms are very spc in what drivers there
would be easier and cheaper to buy a new device
and it would most surdenly void any warrenty the device would have

Did anyone experiment with integrating a wi-fi SDIO card INSIDE the Magician? I am curious to know if there is enough space inside the case to solder in the internals of the Sandisk WiFi card.
Would also be interesting to know if it is possible to integrate the Sandisk 256 meg wifi card but leave out the Mem and wire it back to the SDIO pins so that the card slot could still be used to plug in a 1g-2g card and still enjoy built-in wifi...
Thought I ask it here, perhaps someone heard something. In case I put a bug in anyone's ear, a reminder that experimenting with something like this will void the warranty... so at your own risk But if you decided to do it, let me know
I think that's impossible because there is almost no space inside the magician. Moreover, such modification will mostly disable the fuction of the SDIO slot when you enable the sdio wifi card, I blieve it is pointless to do so.
Why don't buy a blue angel or wait for the next generation of magician if you really need wifi but do not want to use an external wifi sd card.
Sorry for jumping in here . ..
Is the Magican Qtek s100 support the 256mb WiFi SD card.. ?
Sandisk says NO on my question to thre support .
Here is the answer below..

Dear Joachim
Unfortunately, due to lack of Custom Bus Driver on your device (MOST HTC DEVICES), the unit will not support this card. We hope that your device manufacturer will soon come up with a fix on this issue.
We appologize for any inconviniences this may have caused you. We recommend that you use the SD WIFI CARD with no memory instead.
Kind Regards,
Sudhi K.

Hi again .. Plz look at this URL: http://www.mtekk.com.au/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4630 Its a AU PocketPC forum. There is a guy that says it works. Are you completly sure that the WiFi 256mb one dont work in this new Qtek s100 / iMate Jam ?? Regards Joachim

SanDisk Response: (12/21/2004 12:43)
Apparently this user has been able to get it to work. Our position is the same. The unit is not supported.

Plz.. say they have it wrong .. or have they even tested..??

Sandisk says NO
And I say YES (I'm posting with it just right now !!!!!)
It work great (WifiFofum found 20 wifi access point near my home , and +/- 80 access point on the road to my office )
Buy it, you won't regret !!!
Anything I need to do when I install it.. ?
Or just use the latest drivers from Sandisk ??
U can access the 256 mb onboard the WiFi card without any problem?
I feel the Qtek S100 realy need the extra mem on a SD card ..
Was soo sad when they told me it will not work...
Ur answer maked the day
Regards Joachim
I got no problems to access the memories
TNX Marcus..
Looks like I just have to buy me a "nonworking" Sandisk 256mb SD
I suppose if I send in photos of it in my qtek .. sandisk still says it isnt working ..

please, do you use sandisk or socket drivers with your sandisk card ?
thank's
I use the driver provided with the card (sandisk)
But I will try the socket (i heard that they work better)
Is there a way xdaI (Wallaby) can connect to a wireless network?
all wifi SD cards are SDIO and xda1 dont support SDIO so not that i ever heard about

What about the MMC type cards or is that just another name for SD(SDIO)?
And what abuot COM1(SERIAL) on the bottom of the xda witch is used to connect to a desktop computer(SERIAL or USB), is there any kind of device which can connect to that port and is WiFi capable?
mmc and sd flash cards are the same interface
sd is a newer and faster (in general) then mmc
mmc is ONLY memory
sd when the device support SDIO can offer other features like WIFI and such
the serial connector in the buttom of the xda is special for the xda and other devices dont have the same connector as in the same wirering
supply and demand makes it unlikely that anybody would make a wifi
device which would work only for xda's
when all newer pda's support SDIO
also serial connection is way way way way slower then wifi and SDIO

Hi everybody,
My question : is it possible that on my S100, the SD slot is one SD only, and not one SDIO enable port ??? Seems strange, but now, I think I have proceed with all the tests I could immagine to make my SDIO Wireless card working, without success, I really wonder if this could not be an hardware or one slo problem... How could I check this SDIO well working ? I have try to use my standard SD storage cards, there are working very well, and I do not have any other SDIO device to test....
Any idea ?
Thks
I just precise that I donot have any led or other that could show me if the device get power etc... or not.
Bye
Quiz question. I've been doing some research into SDIO wifi cards for WM2005 and my SPV M1000.
What i want to know is, What chipset do Socket SD WLAN cards use? Is it per-chance: "Inprocomm"
Reason i ask is, i've ordered a SAFECOM SD wifi card, which ive heard doesn't have drivers for WM2005, however, it use the above chipset.
Alternativley, does anyone have drivers for this model card, or a way to make it work?
Cheers,
Tim
Does anybody know of a WORKING internal GPS Module for the Prophet ? I'm talking about SDIO at most, but preferably some kind of internal extension board. I'm guessing everybody has had enough with carying around a bulky bluetooth gps receiver.
ya! that would be very nice...
No such thing, and not going to happen.
I am not quite sure about SDIO (though I never hear of one) but there is no such thing as "internal extension cards" for Prophet or any other WM device.
Their mother boards come as a closed unit and there are no connectors / slots for any hardware other then what is in the specs.
This is not a PC and the OEM never attended for people to take these things apart.
sdio
the wifi nic for the prophet is actually a SDIO extension board. not as in a physical board per say but as in the way it interfaces with the pda mb. the sd slot for the prophet i know that it is sdio compatible, what i don't know is if it supports the standard necessary for this one, for instance: http://www.globalsat.com.tw/eng/product_detail_00000053.htm
Actually the problem with that model is not the standard - they stated SDIO so no reason it wouldn't work, except they don't claim to support WM 5.
GPS basically throws ASCII strings to a serial port, but a card using SDIO would probably need a driver to be properly recognized by the OS and WM 2003 driver is more than likely not to work for WM 5.
On a side note: it is considerate of them to provide memory to replace the storage card who's place they are taking. (though this will create a problem with nav apps that lock on SD serial).
