[pilot-db-list] Re: Macintosh Sync for pilot-db databases

[irntooth <irn...@ez...>]

I am running Palm Desktop for Mac 2.6.3 on Mac OS 9.1, and I see this 
problem, too.  When I was running pilot-db with a Handspring Visor with 
Memplug CF, I copied the db databases to the CF card with a card adapter 
on my Powerbook.  Now, I am using a Palm m130 with a MMC expansion card.  
The trick with this configuration is to hotsync the db databases to the 
card, rather than to the Palm device (Choose 'Change Destination' from 
the 'Install Handheld Files' panel).  Pilot-db with the VFS plugin 
recognizes the databases on the card, and there is _no_ error when 
opening them.  I can hotsync the same databases to the Palm, and get the 
'Could not open database' error...

Hope this helps at least a few of the Mac users.
