ZIRE 72 keyboard and external storage?

Question

Hello all PALM ZIRE 72 users!I would like to ask you if there is a good, reliable, wireless (if possible - foldable also) keyboard for ZIRE 72.Also, does anybody have any experience with an external storage drive, like ZIP, small hard drive, even a 3,5 inch floppy?Is it possible at all to hook up such device to this PDA?How about drivers?Thank you very much for all informnation you would like to provide,

George

LOL, you're looking to make yourself a very small laptop.

The Z 72 can accomodate a SDIO card which allows for storage expansion.  I believe you can use up to 2GB SD card.

For a keyboard, try Palm's own IR foldable keyboard.  Works very well and you know is compatible.  Try here:

As far as external devices go, you will have to find drivers (if anyone has written any).  Battery life, which is a Palm strength (efficient OS and low draining chips) will be sucked dry with the use / interface with external devices such as a small HD or floppy.

The easiest is to use a card reader and SD cards to load Palm programs / files into the Z 72.

Search for utility freeware FileZ and you can manipulate files for the Z 72.  Check here:

Good luck.
