Has anybody done this to an axim X51v rom 12?
I'd like to have sdhc support so I can use it to see if a card is
counterfeit before I buy it, but i'm not willing to brick my axim.

The directions say to overwrite two dll's. I decided I'd save the
originals just in case. Totalcommander says it's copying the files,
but they're not in the destination directory.
And with the persistent memory, a hard reset isn't gonna put back
the old dll's after I replace 'em ???? yes? no?
I guess the real question is, "does the X51v even have a "rom"
in the classical sense?
If I go diddling around in the operating system part of the flash,
can I reverse it?

You can't delete system ROMs from the device, so any changes you make
by copying files around in the \Windows folder will be undone if you
hard-reset the device.
