The memory stick hardware is DIFFERENT than the MMC hardware, so at some level they would have to differ.

The OS might or might not depending on the hardware which I think differs, so at that level it might not work, i.e. copying the library or accessing the hardware directly. [Pose is the best for finding out hardware questions - I found the vibrator and light on the m500 series in the source] However if you do a WinGetBits, writing a binary pattern to that buffer should do the same thing on both devices, but writing it to a different bitmap and do a draw call should work better. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
