ROM is read-only memory. By definition you can't write to it. I don't know much about Symbol devices, but the product specs for your unit say that it's compatible with HandEra's ImagePro deployment software - which is used to deploy multiple devices with the same custom Flash RAM configuration. That leads me to think that your handheld probably has several megs of Flash onboard, rather than ROM.
Flash is non-volitile, like ROM, and doesn't go away when you lose power. You can't use it like RAM, however, and Palm provides no API for dealing with it. You might want to look into a product called JackFlash, by Brayder Technologies. It allows you to move apps and databases between Flash and RAM on certain devices, depending on the size of the apps and the amount of available Flash. I've found it to be pretty reliable - but I don't know if it'd work on your device. You'd still have to manually back your databases up to Flash using JackFlash if you wanted to keep the latest version available after a reset. Getting them back into RAM, however, when you can't back JackFlash up to Flash... I don't know how that'd work. Maybe someone else has an idea. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
