Sounds like you got one of the microdrives. The only issue I think
is access times and power consumption. I used to use one in my
camera but it was a bit on the slow side and hungry on the power.
That may not be an issue in a PDA though.

better or worse than an equivalent Flash card?  Should I put it back
on Ebay and but a CF card after all?  It is a type II (Which should
be OK for the Axim).
