Software using the MemoryStick:

MS Mount MS Mount v1.0.3 (469 Kb)
Version: 1.0.3 Interface: Documentation:

Essential utility for any Clie user, MS Mount allows you to access databases stored on the MemoryStick from applications that have not been specifically written for this, as if those databases were residing in RAM.
Preliminary requirement: the databases must be read-only (the application must not try to change them)
Given that you follow this requirement, you can save a lot of RAM by putting on your MemoryStick all your big databases (dictionary files, docs, video, pictures...)

This program doesn't support OS5.

PowerRun Download PowerRun v1.3b2 (110 Kb)
Version: 1.3b2 Interface: Documentation:

Another must-have program for Clie owners that wish to maximize the MemoryStick use. PowerRun automates the RAM<->MemoryStick copying process for both applications (.prc files) and databases (.pdb files), giving the user the feeling that you can launch MemoryStick-stored applications as if they were stored in RAM. Any database modification is saved back to the MemoryStick when exiting the application, so only the loading / saving time can make PowerRun's use a bit tedious on very big files. Otherwise, for small to medium sized applications, the shorter loading / exiting times are really not a problem.
PowerRun create shortcuts for every program it stores on the MemoryStick, and those shortcuts appear in the launcher (native or third party) like any other application, with just a modified icon (a small MemoryStick symbol on the bottom left of the icon) and a * at the end of the name to show the program is actually stored on the MemoryStick.

The latest version (1.3 beta 2) of this program supports OS5 and multi-volume (for use in conjunction with Eruware's CF drivers for the NX60/70V/NZ90)

JBBackup Download JBBackup (Trial version) (194 Kb)
Version: 1.6 Interface: Documentation:

This program is not specifically written for the Clie, but the author has written a module that allow you to backup files on the MemoryStick, either automatically or manually. You can then recover your essential data after a crash even if you're away from home and the desktop computer on which you usually sync your Clie.
This is a commercial program, but it's quality and the excellent technical support (personal answer form the author, and corrected / improved version sent by e-mail within hours in case of problems) make it well worth its price!

Note that although the backup of every single RAM file is very long, you can backup an image of the whole RAM as a single file, this takes less than two minutes, and you can still restore files individually if needed!

Driver CompactFlash
