Solve : Unknow Compaq IPAQ?

Answer»

I recently got a Compaq IPAQ Pent 3 but as much as I now.  There is no tags on it so I dont now what it is.  Dont think that there are any needed drivers but I'm also haveing an issue I think with the sounds comeing out of the speaker not sure if its suppose to be like that.  But I put 2k on it an everything seems to work other then that.  But I rather have the drivers an what not just in case.What does it look like?
Is it some kind of slimline case?
If so, I had one for a while, might be able to help.Its a mini, with a u shape to it an push off sides an such.  Its an older unit an has ps/2 connectors, sorry for the rush of this.  I had to do it quickly at the time.  Long time no see, we need to talk.  Mine's not quite the same, mine was some weird legacy-free version with no PS/2 ports but only 2 USB ... that was awkward to use, it really needed a USB hub if I wanted more than my keyboard and mouse plugged in.  It was very difficult to take apart, even WORSE to put back together, and extremely cramped inside.  I got rid of it quite quickly.
Yours may be better for you though, doesn't sound like it's the same one.
Good luck with it there the same except this one being an older model.  I'll attempt to talk with compaq but little to go on here.I found the drivers at:

On searchesm it is CONFUSING between the desktop and the pocket PCs.another reason why its hard to find, also cant say if those are the right ones or not.Just an FYI for those than may be reading this thread.

I had a couple of these at different times, found both of them in the trash.

The "old" iPAQ was a desktop computer.

The "new" iPAQ is a PDA.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPAQThanks for the pictures and clarification, CC.
My old iPAQ did look like the desltop shown, but it had no PS/2, serial, parallel ports etc - just USB, network, audio and VGA.ah that makes a little more sense.  Mine only has front usb I think but it still dont know what ether of them are.  I'm not going to be able to TELL what the one is that is like CALUM's.  But the one that I want to use can be changed an what not with out troubles.They sure are weird ones, I believe iPAQ stood for "internet ComPAQ".  They were introduced about the time broadband internet was signing up customers FASTER than dial-up, around 1999-2001.

One of Compaq's last "good ideas" before being sold to HP.

Very little of it is standardized with desktop PC's, actually has more in common with some HMI PLC's (i.e. Allen-Bradley PanelView)I had the feeling when you could like add cards or anything.  Not a big deal cause of were I'm takeing it too. Quote from: squall_01 on July 22, 2009, 01:06:56 PM

I'm having a little trouble understanding what you're saying.  If you're asking if iPAQ has expansion slots:  it doesn't.  BTW, USB is likely 1.1, not 2.0.ment couldnt.  thats evil you could like patch that or something?  Still have answered my orginal post here.
