Hello John,

While updating to ROM 2.0, I lost at least Emacs and
ClckAdjst from PORT :2:. I remember having had trouble with
"Invalid Card Data" and have solved this with PINIT
deleting libs and by re-transfering the libs.

With ROM 2.0 I have lost a backup file from port :2:,
which could have hapened by debugging a programm
wich is containing ML.

With ROM 2.01-1, I have lost "only" ClckAdjst
from Port :2:.

I have not documented those issues :-(,
but I can confirm that port :2: was not save during
ROM-updates.

>From readme_zip.rtf, delivered with ROM 2.01-1
"Note: Although the ROM update process should not erase any of the user
data stored in HOME, IRAM (PORT0), ERAM(PORT1) and SD(PORT3), this
upgrade may erase some of the data in FLASH(Port2) performing a backup
of your valuable data is therefore recommended."

Aha, "should not..." and "... may erase..."

My note:
This note is really not helpfull for a normal experienced user, because
it is
not that easy to make a "backup" from port2.

Conclusion:
So, it seems to become "normal", to loose data from port2 :-(

Best regards
Heiko
