Hope someone can shed some light. I bought an m125 a couple weeks ago (my first PDA:D). Been stuffing it full of all the freeware I can find (some really good stuff out there:). Bought a 64mb SD card and first started to put some stuff on it yesterday. Have found that some programs do not run from an expansion card? Is that right? Or is there some trick to this?

On a different note, are the extensions *.prc and *.pdb being used to mean more than one thing? I could swear that sometimes the *.prc is an executable and sometimes it's a data file of some sort. Same for the *.pdb.

Appreciate any help I can get.

No, some programs will not run from the expansion card. You would need to actually transfer them to your handheld from the card.

And about the extensions... *.prc files are applications you can install onto your handheld, and *.pdb files are database files.

Example:
When you install the PalmReader, this is a *.prc file.
When you install books to read with the PalmReader, these files are *.pdb.

Hope this info has helped you out a bit!
