Palm RAM Disk

[ilkera]

I could not get Palm RAM Disk (from www.handwatch.com) work on my Clie NX70v.
does it work on palmOS 5 ?

Not worth the effort. This software uses a bit of RAM up to mimic an external memory (like a MS or MMC etc). Unless there is a very specific use to partition the memory like this (like your ebooks), there isn't many applications which this would add more value or utility to what you already have with VFS, launchers and apps that are VFS aware.

[ilkera]

no there are uses for it.
I have a 128MB memory stick but I also own a MS bluetooth adapter. Now I just want to send attachments from VFS using bluetooth connection. But when I use the Bluetooth MS I don't have any VFS.
If I get Palm RAM disk work on Clie nx70v I can use the VFS on memory for attaching files.

Okay then - this gives me a reason to upgrade from my T615C now... :)

I can see you point there ilkera. I suggest that you email the developers and see what happens.

When I had emailed Handwatch in the past, the developer never responded :mad:!

Apparently NOT

I've also had problems with it on the older CLIE NR (it works initially but eventually hangs and does nasty things, requiring a cool restart)

------
However, as mentioned in other threads, it is a simple way to test to see how many programs properly work with multiple VFS volumes.

Bottom line: not many. AFAIK none of the Sony built-in ones do.

So this bodes poorly for the hypothetical "CF" driver -- unless they put in a mode to fake out the CLIE into thinking CF storage is really MS storage.

Maybe in lieu of, but not in addtion to?

[ilkera]

so?
I could not understand clearly.
Did you succeed in working with ram disk on Clie NX series ?

In reference to the hypothetical CF Driver being recognized by the Palm OS.

Sorry for the confusion!

[hansschmucker]

The driver works on my NX, as long as I'm in safe mode (UP + RESET), and since the safe mode has MS support as well, it must be some other driver, but no idea which, since Sony provides a whole bunch of libraries with every Clié

If you want Handera to respond send your e-mail to handango or one of thier "sellers and you will get a responce. I ordered handzipper and it took too long to get the unlock/reg e-mail so I emailed handango and the handerians sent me an apoloogy and a free palmdiskram app that I resume is uselesss?

[franci miller]

Oh yeah and t works it is not a visible icon you have to look under the pref menu and it is listed ther like a ram hide. I just don't know what I will do with it?
