Hi,

I've just got hold of a T-mobile Ameo (HTC Advantage) which is running
WM5.

I would like to get it working so that it appears as a mass storage
device under windows. This would mean that I could use it on my mac as
well, as well making it easier to copy files to.

on alot of WM5 devices, the USB connection allows you to toggle the
port mapping, and how a device is seen by a PC, I can't say for
certain how it would work for a MAC however.

Yep, Read only was the first thing I tried.
I'd been using a usb1 port with a hub.
Tried direct to usb2 port, same issues.
Another symptom is that when read/copying more than one file,
the copy hangs at the end of the last copy. If I turn off the Axim,
the PC pops an error message about not completing within the required
time. But the copied file is ok.

Tried it on my laptop, same problem.
Desktop is xppro, laptop is xp home.

If I try to write, the PC locks up. Turn off the Axim and the
PC gives a "write error, turn off write protect" message.
Another message box about a windows delayed write error.

Start - Settings - Connection - USB - options
If I uncheck the "advanced features" box, the PC finds new
hardware, "axim X51" then wants to load a driver...which I don't have...
or at least don't know I have. No drive letter is assigned, so I can't
even read it now in that mode.

FWIW, I do NOT have Active sync installed on this machine. Could this
be required? Don't really need access on this machine and doesn't make
sense to have to load active sync on a random machine that might need
access to the axim's card.

I've read many reports that the programs run on a particular PDA,
but NONE that explicitly say it runs on an Axim X51v Rom12.

If there are options, see if it is possible to change to Mass Storage
or something like that...again, not certain its available on that
model, or if it will work with a MAC, but its worth a try.
