I just called Direct Mobile today inquiring about the 1M SRAM card. I was told
by the sales rep that the card will work in an OmniGo, but only if the SRAM card
is first formatted on an HP 200LX. Since I don't know anyone who owns one I
postponed purchasing one. I was also told that these cards are factory refurbished
and have a 30 day warranty.
My question is, has anyone purchased one of these cards, and had it work on the
OGO 100, without first formatting it on an HP 200LX? Same for the 2M SRAM.
