Hello all!
I found a file named "InternalDriveVolume" in three of the folders of Palm OS software I have installed.
(folders like *:\Program Files\[Program name])
The file sizes were 520 & 231 KBs (I deleted the other one).
Google knows nothing about this file, but it seems to be a file created by Palm OS Simulators, because I also found the file in some of the folders where I have Simulators installed.

I'm suspecting some Palm OS Simulator created this file when I opened these folders to install the programs (PRCs) inside them for testing on Simulators (right-click on Simulator window -> Install -> Database...). Opening the file with Notepad shows that it is a binary file, and contains these strings near the beginning "PALM 4.0", "NO NAME" and "FAT16". Seems that the Simulator is creating the file in the wrong place, so this must be a bug. I don't know if only some (or all) of the Simulators exhibit this behavior.


It's a well-known thing of the simulators with NVFS to write the NVFS to certain places on your harddrive (C:). You might delete them it will be recreated next time. And yes, it stores everything you've installed during simulator session, just as the NVFS on the real device.

Henk
