Can I put DateBk6 on an expansion card instead of main memory?
Yes. You can put DateBk6 on an external card, but not the much smaller DateBk6-resources which must always be in Ram. HOWEVER, there is a significant issue with alarms. The Palm OS does not send alarm notifications to applications stored on memory cards (Note: Handera’s version of the Palm OS apparently addresses this issue). This means that if DateBk6 is not running, no alarm will sound. There are two ways to tackle this particular problem: (1) Uncheck the box: DateBk6 Handles Alarms in the ALARMS tab of DateBk6’s Main Preference panel (options | Preferences in any view). Alarms will then sound as they will be handled by the built-in datebook application. However, you will then lose the ability to put alarms on ToDo’s, to use custom alarms (i.e. an alarm for a specific event) and DateBk6’s snooze handling. (2) Use a launcher which takes care of this particular problem by forwarding alarm notifications to applications stored on an expansion card. Pi-Direct is an example of a launcher t
