It's almost identical to PCMCIA

The springboard connector is identical to a PCMCIA connector. Differences in the keying slots prevent PCMCIA or CardBus devices from being plugged into the Springboard slot. Electrically it's identical save for two pins being swapped. The predecessor to the MemPlug and InnoPocket adapters was simply the insides of a PCMCIA to Compact Flash adapter hacked to cross those two lines. The result was delicate and projected beyond the top edge of the Visor. The software from InnoPocket will work with those homebrew CF adapters. The InnoPocket website had a how-to article on the hack. InnoPocket added another small Flash RAM onto their Springboard adapters so the OS additions to enable apps to be run from the memory card wouldn't use main RAM. There was also an app to install other apps into whatever space was left in that Flash area. TealDoc 5.56 and a couple of other small apps would fit. Bizzybody (talk) 09:49, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Needs images.

The article needs some images of various Springboard modules. Bizzybody (talk) 09:50, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

References would be better at this early stage. The whole article is unreferenced. Actual product, or fictional cack? Dunno. I want you, User:Bizzybody, to find a reference for every single one of the expansion modules listed in the article, and insert it. Report back here on the talk page when you're done. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 18:46, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

It doesn't. It could benefit from a photo of a Handspring device both with and without a module inserted, but photos of individual modules—as I've removed from the article—don't benefit the sourced prose. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 00:20, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Which models used this technology?

A list is needed. 89.201.184.8 (talk) 02:58, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Aye, that would be beneficial, but only if properly sourced. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 00:20, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
