Software Upgrade Enables MemorySafe Users to Back Up and Restore Individual Files

Santa Clara, CA - March 1, 2002 - Northstar today announced the availability through a third party of a new software upgrade that enables users to back up and restore individual databases or files to and from MemorySafe(TM). Available through JKS Technologie, FlashCmdMS Software Suite for MemorySafe also enables users to partition MemorySafe to store an even greater number of files on the popular mobile back-up device. FlashCmdMS is available for all models of MemorySafe and can be used with the Palm(TM) m100, III, V and VII series handhelds.

“We’re pleased that our collaboration with third parties, like JKS Technologie, has resulted in such a beneficial software upgrade for MemorySafe,” says Declan O’Mahoney, president of Northstar USA. “Not only does FlashCmdMS give MemorySafe users even more flexibility, it further expedites the back-up process.”

FlashCmdMS Software Suite for MemorySafe is sold and supported only by JKS Technologie. Available as a download from the company’s web site at www.flashplug.de, FlashCmdMS is offered for $9 US.

MemorySafe can be purchased from many on-line and retail stores throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe and Asia, including CompUSA, Staples, J&R Computer World, RCS Computers, CDW, and Amazon.com. The price of MemorySafe has just been reduced to $19.99 for 8MB and $14.99 for 2MB. Northstar Mobile products also can be purchased on-line at the company’s web site, www.northstarmobile.com.

Worldwide, users of Palm m100, III, V and VII series handhelds are taking advantage of MemorySafe to protect their handheld data while away from their offices or homes. Similar to an external disk, MemorySafe simply plugs into the HotSyncâ port of the Palm handheld to enable users to quickly and easily copy files between the handheld and MemorySafe. In the event of a hard reset, or losing the handheld, the data is safely stored on MemorySafe and can be restored to the existing¾or new¾handheld.
