Removing Flash Formatter software from Organiser
Posted: Fri May 24, 2024 7:33 pm
Hi,
I would like to free up some RAM on my XP Model organiser by removing the FLASH formatting program which resides on the Menu. I've followed the instructions i.e. "If you wish to remove the Flash Datapak software from your Organiser (to recover the 4.5K of memory it uses), first switch off and remove any program packs or peripherals. Then switch back on and, with the main menu displayed, press ON/CLEAR an extra time to purge the Organiser's memory of software from other program packs or peripherals.
The 'Flash' item will still be in the menu. Select it, then select 'Remove' from the menu that follows, and confirm by pressing the Y key."
However, after following these steps it's still there and working I haven't used a flash datapack on this organiser in while. I know I can remove the battery to get rid of it but wondered why it won't go by following the instructions. I'm guessing it's like one of Jaap's TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident programs) but the TSRREMV program has no effect. The flash formatter is a bit of a mystery to me. I have a Utils Pack which I have put together and it would be nice to add the flash formatter but the files in the OPK look rather odd. If anyone can enlighten me on why it won't remove or about the flash formatter pack I'd be very interested, thanks.
