I'd love to know what.

But:

A) This is a Handspring Visor Pro, with PalmOS 3.5.2.  There is no native
VFS support in it.

B) The expansion card is a Hagiwara Sys-Com springboard module.  I don't
believe it uses VFS of any nature.  My understanding is that it is seen as a
read-only extension of system RAM.  (The card does not support the concept
of directories.  Everything is installed in root, so to speak.)

I have a PiTech MemPlug CF Springboard adapter with a 128MB CF card which
I'm slowly loading up.  I don't know for sure _what_ Plucker will make of
_it_ just yet.  (The PiTech folks included thier own VFS support module with
it.)

I'll wait.  But as I said, 1.14 handled the exact same hardware and software
configuration flawlessly.  1.2 broke something, and I'd _love_ to know what.
Today, I removed the PlkrDocList file, then recreated all of my categories
and re-assigned all of the Plucker docs.  All was well until I synced
another Plucker doc to the machine.  As soon as I did, Plucker lost it
again.  It might work if all Plucker docs were either in RAM or on the card,
but that's not a workable option.  I don't have enough room in RAM, and the
stuff I put on the card is explicitly intended for long-term storage.  Other
Plucker docs, like the Palm Tipsheet, and transitory and get deleted when
I've read them.
