I noticed the exact same behavior with PalmVHack on a Vx. Can't comment
about the ROM images, but I have POSE running on an NT, and was planning to
test this very problem, but still need to dig up a female to female db9
gender changer.
I'd advise not to push this behavior too far, as I experienced a hard reset
(I was also playing with StayOffHack for the PV in conjunction with this).
No big deal, except that 7 megs of data and apps takes a while to sync back
up! (How fast would a Handspring module restore the data, or even USB???)
Also, I didn't see anything in the OS that fixes the alarm problem, so are
we back to square one with the button push problem? Time to dig out the
grommet and glue it on the cover eh?

Subject: Problem with keySetMask and PalmOS 3.3 on a PalmVx
I have a problem in PalmOS 3.3 that only appears on the PalmVx and not on
the PalmOS3.3beta6 ROM image in POSE.
The problem is with my PalmVHack program. The symptom is that when
PalmVHack is enabled the Power Key stops functioning until the hack is
disabled. I can not recreate this in POSE.
I think a call I make to keySetMask which sets the mask to keyBitsAll may
be the problem if Palm has changed the values of this defined variable.
What I really need to see is the source code to the ketSetMask function
unfortunatly this is not included in the PalmOS3.0 source.
1) Can anyone tell me what has changed in PalmOS 3.3 regarding ketSetMask ?
2) If I upgrade my PalmV with the Final Image using the beta 7 flash update
will my PalmV have the "Exact" same ROM as a PalmVx or will it be different
?
