Any idea if the USBFileMover will work with the 8MB Handspring Memory Module?

Yes

Your question made me curious so I just tried it; it works perfectly.

That is quite a dog! <g>

I couldn't get it to work, how is it done???

I have the handspring 8mb flash module and just tried the USB file mover software. It looks just like a web ftp program and I assume it works the same way. It lists all of the files in a desktop folder on one side then lists visor files (either flash or main ram) on the other. I tried to move a file with the program and nothing appeared to happen. The file did not move to the visor. I tried both moving to flash and to ram, no luck. I am sure it was connected because all files were listed. I think some kind of window popped up when I pressed the button but it disappeared so quickly I didn't see what it said. What did I do wrong????

BTW, I'm really sad that I have tied up $210 in a separate flash and oversized modem module. Sucks to be me. I resolve to stop buying gadgets when they are released, they cost less and are better 6 months later.

This is where Ebay comes in handy. Offload the old stuff and get in on the new.

Handspring and Hagiwara should take a hint

I don't think this program works with the 8mb/16mb modules. It does a good job of listing the files on the RAM and Flash, but I could only copy the files from the Visor to the computer and delete files already on the computer. It wouldn't copy to the Visor or delete anything on the Visor.

This would be a great program if it would let you write directly to the Flash Module without Syncing to the RAM first. Handspring and Hagiwara should take a hint!

It is still a pretty good backup program considering its free and it will backup the flash module too.

I couldn't even get it to copy a file from flash or RAM to the desktop.
