Well, I just had my first email from a customer who is having problems
with my app on a Lifedrive. My code has been running without problems to
access databases on an SD card ever since the first Palm with a card slot
came out.
I'll obviously have to investigate this further (hopefully without having
to pony up $500 to buy one of the darn things), but has anyone here had
problems with their existing apps running on a Lifedrive?
I have no idea at this time where the problem lies, but I would suspect it
has something to do with the way my app looks for its databases by
searching main memory and then any memory card slots that it sees. Doesn't
the Lifedrive's hard drive just look basically the same as an SD card from
the VFS file access standpoint?
Yes, on a LifeDrive, there is always one VFS volume, and their may be
several, depending on if a SD card is inserted and if you use the special
flag to see hidden VFS volumes. However, on the LD, the first volume
returned is the internal hard drive. You need to keep enumerating volumes
to find the SD card slot.
palmOne has a LifeDrive simulator posted on their pluggedin.palmone.com
website.
