axxPAC Now Does Backup/Restore

Posted By: Ed on Friday, December 01, 2000 10:54:48 AM

The new axxPAC driver version 2.17 allows users to backup and restore the entire contents of a Palm to a smartmedia card. There is also a new free version of the CSpotRun Doc reader that can read ASCII- and PDB-files directly from the smartmedia card.

The axxPac, from AMS in Germany, is a SmartMedia interface mounted completely internal to the Palm IIIx in the open connector slot. It can also be installed in the IIIe and the IIIxe after modifying the Palm.

There are a couple of other applications available for the axxPAC, including a free FTP client and a shareware JPG viewer.

I tried to locate a U.S. vendor and came up with (gethightech.com) but they no longer carry the axxPAC. Does anybody have an idea where I might look

I can't believe no U.S. company is willing to sell the axxPAC. It is a great add-on. I love mine. I wonder if the company would sell me a few and let me auction them on ebay.

I inquired about this situation and received the following e-mail from Holger Grube at AMS:

"we are pleased to inform about the possibility to order the axxPAC from our reseller at http://www.palmdownload.de
They will ship axxPAC to all locations worldwide.
Due to the fact, that they do not have an english version of their web site available right now, please contact them by using the following mail address: mailto:vertrieb@palminfo.de
The corresponding contact person is Mr. Gustav Kriese, he will also receive a copy of this information."

Hope this helps...
