quote:I was actually working on a feature for NDBM that would allow you to store 128 MB playlists on the Neuros for a quick-sync before OS/2 was released. This involved copying the songs over each time, however. Now with the flash backup option, this goes out the window.

No, the USB 2.0 only affects the backpack... although it may be possible if someone were to take the time do devlope flash images PC side and be able to send the image to the backpack and restore it to the 128MB. This would lead into developing custom playlists and custom images to send to the 128MB from the Neuros itself. Like say the 20GB could store multiple images and you can choose what you want.. It's not possible yet but who knows (I don't know if anyone besides myself has thought about such things. It seems fairly straightforward).
However, I have been thinking about going in a direction similar to what you had mentioned. I need to look more at what kind of a backup is actually done on the HD backpack, but if it is, as I hope, the contents of the flash drive dumped into a directory on the Neuros, then it would be quite possible.
We would essentially just change the NDBM device path to point to the backup directory instead of the base Neuros directory and treat it as a regular 128 MB backpack, copying music from the Neuros itself rather than from your computer.
Hopefully that didn't come out quite as convoluted as I think it did.
I'm still thinking as I type this so there's not much processor time left to logical organization.
