Casio Cassiopeia E-15 Upgrades FAQ

Q. Can I upgrade the internal RAM in my E-15?
A. No. However, you can use a CompactFlash RAM card for additional
storage of programs or files.
A. You can check Microsoft's Windows CE Hardware Compatibility List for
some CompactFlash devices that will work with your Cassiopeia. The list
can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/hwtest/hsearchce.idc. Keep
in mind that the devices on this list are not necessarily the only ones
that will work, just the ones that have been tested.
A. You can use the Casio JK-711MC56 CompactFlash modem card, a
third-party CompactFlash modem card, or an external modem.
A. Place the E-15 in its cradle, then connect a null-modem cable and a
9-pin to 25-pin adapter between the cradle's cable and the modem. Make
certain that the external modem is turned on before configuring your
dialer settings. The external modem will be treated as a generic
"Hayes Compatible on COM1."
A. You must also use a null modem cable and a 9-pin to 25-pin adapter
in conjunction with the supplied cradle in order for the external modem to
work.
A. The RAM on the card is used for storage of programs and files, much
like you would use a floppy disk on a desktop computer. The card cannot be
used to increase program execution memory, and it is for that reason that
the RAM on the card isn't added to main memory.
A. This may vary depending on how the individual program is installed.
For some programs that are installed from the desktop PC through the
Application Manager, a dialog box asking if you want to install to the
default application install directory might appear. Answering
"No" to this dialog box will prompt you to choose a directory,
and you may specify the Storage Card. If you would like to be prompted for
a directory whenever you install through the Application Manager, clear
the check box next to "Install using the default application install
directory."
A. The correct procedure varies depending on the application. For Note
Taker and Voice Recorder, you can move existing files from Main Memory to
the card if you go to the File menu, select Properties, and change the
location to "Storage Card."
A. Go to the Tools menu and select Options. Tap the Save tab in Note
Taker, or the General tab in Voice Recorder. Place a check mark in the box
next to "Save to storage card."
A. This is not possible.
A. This is not possible. You must check the onscreen messages to see if
you have made a successful connection.
A. No, we do not recommend it. The operating system (Windows CE) will
be able to recognize the drive, however, current demand from the IBM
Microdrive is too high for the batteries and/or present model Casio AC
adapters. There may be corruption in the memory of both Cassiopeia and/or
Microdrive.
