I receive 'The page cannot be displayed' 'The page is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings' messages EVERY time I try to contact a web site from IE6SP1. I even installed and tried Mozilla 1.7.1. This...
Persevere, my friend, and thou may still find some success and satisfaction from HP. We can ever keep hope for their continued growth in awareness of their most important asset - their customers - without whose continued satisfaction and purchases, they would have no business.
If more...
nightDenizen,
You are right. Thanks for correcting my fuzzy memory and calculation, regarding the USB 2.0 spec. Any additonal information that you might find that may improve our zeXx Cardbus performance, would be appreciated also. I'll keep searching as well. I hope HP still may fix this...
jl,
I just copied (via Windows XP Explorer) 518.0 MB (two files) to a BusLink 40 GB External harddrive attached to a USB 2.0 port on the I/O Flex card in 58 seconds. This roughly calculates to 535 MB per minute, which I believe actually exceeds the USB 2.0 spec of 480 MB/min. And the BusLink...
Also, one item I left out in the previous reply:
When I bought the ze5000, it was the highest state of the art available to me at the time, and was in fact a special built order item that took two weeks to be built and shipped. And at that time there were NO laptops available with built-in USB...
bastner,
I fully agree with you on the best way work with support folks, having been one for many years (and frequently, still am :-). My conversations with each support tech were, in fact very nice and personable. And I assured them that the frustration I felt was not directed at them, but...
jl, here's the link again -- some how the link-copy did not work correctly before:

jl, the HP tech's name was John, and he called me (probably because of my satisfaction survey comments). But I suspect that you will not be able to get a specific personon the line if you call.
However, the HP SoftPaq that HP says is needed, is SP24353, release date 06-03-2003 ROMpaq BIOS...
Well, the ze5000-USB 2.0 PC Cardbus issue is finally resolved!!
It took several phone calls and emails to HP support, and a rather scathing comment to the HP support satisfaction surveys to get the answer. But I now have the I/O Flex card working flawlessly in the ze5000 PCMCIA slot, and...
I don't quite hate USB yet, but I do much prefer IEEE-1394 (firewire) -- rated speed is almost that of USB 2.0 and actual performance exceeds it, especially as additional devices are added. Problem is that most of our 1-2 year old Dell desktops do not have 1394 (nor USB 2.0) ports...
Thanks for the tip bcastner. I have downloaded and applied the MS security patch/fix you pointed me to. But I'll have to wait till I get back to work to test it out. I'll let you know.
and
wooglin, if you find a solution, let me know also, and thanks for letting me know others are...
I have an HP ze5000 Laptop (2.2GHz, 512MB RAM, 40GB hdd, 32MB Nvidia, 15-in UVGA, IEEE-1394, USB 1.1, IRD, 802.11b, 10/100 Enet) - but the one thing I am missing is USB 2.0.
I have tried a number of PC Cardbus cards: I/O Flex, Belkin, Adaptec, and Dynex. However, none work for various reasons...
