Subject: Storing Programms to Flash

Hi everybody, hi XDA-Developers,

just found today this really cool site and must say: great
rewards for you!
Am really happy to find a way, to backup my MDA.

Had a Palm before my MDA and that was so cool, to control most
of the things you can do with a PalmOS, with the Flash and so
on.

But now to my question: has anyone found a way to store
programms in the 32MB Flash of the MDA/XDA???
Would be greatful NOT to loose the installed programms, when
changing my SD-Card (i have stored most of the programms on the
card, to leave as much RAM as possible for working).

Would be cool, if anyone can help with this and post his/ her
experiences.

Have a nice day,
ako

24MB of that space is used for the OS, so you can't use that. The remaining 8MB could be used with the right software. HP includes that with the Jornada, called "Safe Store." I found it very nice to have when I had a Jornada. Unfortunately, the PPC ROM files seem to be protected so they can't be copied. Anybody know a way around that? If so, I can copy this from a friend's Jornada.
