README for iPaq H36xx Expansion Pack Pro-Engineer files and analysis. ===================================================================== Please note from the 'MECHANICAL OVERVIEW' section of the Expansion Pack Specification: All functional expansion packs must consist of four basic structures, including: (1) a uniquely-curved, injection-molded plastic BASE part which enables any expansion pack to physically slide up and onto the back of any main unit, [see Pro-E part file: jc_jacket.prt ], (2) a common universal connector [see Pro-E part file: foxconn-fx3.prt], soldered to a PCB with absolute dimensions as to the position of the connector and as to the thickness of the board but with less criteria as to the board area dimensions, (3) an unknown volume of 'new' electronics that will, at minimum, communicate through the PCB and the universal connector, and (4) a new injection-molded plastic top COVER part of specified shape at its bottom mating edge but of unspecified volume and shape (and, possibly, with unspecified openings) throughout its remainder. [See example Pro-E file: jc_cover_pcmcia_final.prt] Also, to assist the developer of new iPaq Expansion Packs, all Pro-E mechanical files for current PCMCIA and Compact Flash Expansion Packs (Jackets) have been made available as examples and for analysis. Please note the following instructions for various Pro-E Layers, Part files, Assemblies. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1:IF YOU OPEN THE ALL-INCLUSIVE ASSEMBLY FILE (CALLED jc_option_jackets.asm) FROM CD DISK OR ELSEWHERE, ALL THE PCMCIA ASSY LAYERS WILL BE THE DEFAULT STATUS. 2:IF YOU WANT TO VIEW AN EXAMPLE OF A COMPACT FLASH JACKET ASSY STATUS, PLEASE OPEN THE FOLLOWING LAYERS: 1: CF_COVER_FINAL 2: CF_PCB 3: CF_BOSS_F30 4: FINAL_SPRING 5: INSERT_36X42 6: JC_BUTTON 7: OP_JACK_0420 8: OP_JACK_F15 9: SCREW_COMPAQ 10: SCREW_JACK 3:IF YOU WANT TO VIEW AN EXAMPLE OF A PCMCIA_JACKET ASSY STATUS, PLEASE OPEN THE FOLLOWING LAYERS. 1: FINAL_SPRING 2: FLIP_SPRING 3: INSERT_36X42 4: JC_BUTTON 5: LENS 6: OPJACK_0420 7: OP_JACK_F15 8: PCMCIA_BOSS_F15 9: PCMCIA_BOSS_F30 10: PCMCIA_COVER_FINAL 11: PCMCIA_EJECT_ BUTTON 12: PCMCIA_FLIP 13: PCMCIA_PCB 14: SCREW_COMPAQ 15: SCREW_JACK 4:IF YOU WANT TO VIEW THE CF PCB ASSEMBLY ONLY, YOU CAN OPEN THE FILE (pcb_assy_cf_lower.asm). 5:IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PCMCIA PCB ASSY ONLY, YOU CAN OPEN THE FILE (pcb_assy_pcmcia.asm).
