This is from Palm's Address application. I use it to detect at least a
PalmPilot Pro because I need TCP/IP:
Word err;
DWord romVersion;
ULong theInstalledRAM;
if (cmd == sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch) {
/*
* This ROM version test comes from Palm's Address application.
* Thankfully too because I would hate to guess at this kind of
* stuff and make some poor guy's Pilot blow up.
*/
FtrGet(sysFtrCreator, sysFtrNumROMVersion, &romVersion);
/*
* Need at least a PalmPilot Pro because of the TCP/IP.
*/
if (romVersion < 0x03000000) {
if ((launchFlags &
(sysAppLaunchFlagNewGlobals | sysAppLaunchFlagUIApp)) ==
(sysAppLaunchFlagNewGlobals | sysAppLaunchFlagUIApp)) {
/*
* Pilot 1.0 will continuously relaunch this app unless we
* switch to another safe one.
*/
if (romVersion < 0x02000000) {
FrmAlert(RomIncompatibleAlert);
AppLaunchWithCommand(sysFileCDefaultApp,
sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch, NULL);
}
err = MemCardInfo( 0, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,
&theInstalledRAM, NULL);
if (!err && (theInstalledRAM == 524288)) {
/*
* We are running on a PalmPilot Personal unit
*/
FrmAlert(RomIncompatibleAlert);
return sysErrRomIncompatible;
}
}
}
/*
* I guess we are an appropriate ROM version so let's run.
