I figured the change would probably be best localized to the VX-8700 module. Anyway, due to a different epoch the Sammy DateTime does not appear appropriate. Should I extend the DateTime class and change the _time_delta or create something like a BrewDateTime class within prototypes.py or prototypeslg.py (the cdate and mdate fields use the BREW epoch)?

I thought the effect would be minimal enough since that directory appears to be locked out on most phones.

I will implement the restriction in the VX-8700 module in a new version of the patch.

Can anyone on this mailing list confirm that the DM mode of the VX-8700 works with the VX-9900 V02?
