Same for the InnoPocket FlashPlus. (and other InnoPocket adapters for SmartMedia etc.) It has 1meg of FLASH RAM so the onboard apps could be updated. I think the problem Plucker, Mapopolis and Mobipocket have is they "see" that 1meg first and since it doesn't conform to the specs for a read/write Palm type memory card, they stop there instead of finding the memory card. So far those are the only three apps I've run into that have "issues" with how Kopsis Engineering did their VFS driver. > Plucker worked just fine on the MemPlug. http://kopsisengineering.com/kopsis_cspotrun_src.zip There's the source code for CSpotRun that came with the InnoPocket memory adaptors. In the zip are two small files named flashadapter.c and flashadapter.h My bet is there's exactly the info needed to make Plucker work with InnoPocket's Springboard modules. What I'd like to see in Plucker is an option to manually select the onboard RAM or the card, and file management functions other than just Delete, so I could move and copy between the card and onboard RAM. (A Beam function would also be nice!) I usually use TealDoc to copy my Plucker documents to onboard RAM because it's easier than using FileZ or the FAFileMover that's on the InnoPocket adaptor. The InnoPocket FlashAdapter (without the onboard 1meg FLASH RAM) was based on Kopsis Engineering's discovery that the Springboard slot could be interfaced directly to Compact Flash simply by crossing wires to two pins and using the same socket used for PC Card to CF adapters. InnoPocket used that to design a compact version that allowed the CF card to fit flush with the Visor. To address the issue of using up onboard RAM with the apps etc required for interfacing the adaptor, they designed the FlashPlus. If the FLASH RAM somehow gets FUBARed, a FlashPlus (and presumably the models for other card types) may still work like the original FlashAdapter by loading all the drivers and apps into onboard RAM. (I don't think I'll try that just to see if Plucker and those other two apps will see the CF card. ;-) It will be total Fandemonium!
