- IDPalm 1.16 -- (c) 1999 by Tim Charron
- ======================================
-
- Summary
- -------
- IDPalm allows you to modify the startup screen stored in the flash ROM of
- your palm connected organizer. This allows you to put your name, address,
- email, phone number, or any other information in a very visible place on
- the device. Unlike other applications which store user information in the
- RAM, IDPalm directly modifies the ROM image, making your changes
- semi-permanent. The registered version of IDPalm allows you to protect
- the screen with a password, which will prevent other users from being able
- to modify your device's screen.
-
- Features
- --------
- - Highly visible means of identifying your device
- - Permits 3 lines of customized text, using two fonts, with or without
- text inversion
- - Password protect your customized screen to prevent unauthorized
- tampering
- - IDPalm is the only security application available for the palm which
- can't be easily defeated by removing the batteries or a hard reset.
- - Works with most flash compatible devices (see below)
- - Distributed with SplashHack, which displays your ROM splash screen
- each time the device is turned on
-
- Compatible devices
- ------------------
- IDPalm will work with most Flash ROM based devices. Currently supported
- devices are:
-
- OS 3.0 Palm III English, German, French, Spanish
- IBM WorkPad English (Palm III equivalent)
- OS 3.1 Palm IIIx/V English, German, French, Spanish
- OS 3.2 Palm VII English
- OS 3.3 Palm III English
- OS 3.3 Palm IIIx/V English, German, French, Spanish, Italian
-
- IDPalm requires that your device have a compatible Flash chip in it. The
- Synapse pager cards are known to be incompatible. If you receive a
- message indicating that IDPalm couldn't find any recognizable splash
- screen, then check the IDPalm web page to see if an update is
- forthcoming. If not, then contact me with details about what kind
- of device you have, including the manufacturer, language, and OS version.
-
- Registration
- ------------
- The unregistered version of IDPalm permits modification of only one of the
- three lines of text. Further, the unregistered does not permit a password
- to be used to protect the screen. Any version of IDPalm (registered or
- unregistered) can be used to reset any splash screen modifications that
- have been made with an unregistered copy of IDPalm.
