    You are probably missing MemoDB, and DatebookDB from your Palm since its 
    a Treo 650.  These are backwards compatibility databases that are 
    created when you upgrade from an older Palm.
    
    Here is what works for my T5 and should for you:
    
    - Backup your Palm.  At least CalendarDB-PDat, and MemosDB-PMem.
    jpilot, or pilot-xfer -b work fine.
    
    - Install some DatebookDB, and MemoDB database.  I installed the ones 
    from /usr/share/jpilot/.  This *may* overwrite your Calendar, and Memos 
    databases.  For me it only overwrites the categories and the records 
    stay intact since there are no records in these files.
    
    pilot-xfer -i /usr/share/jpilot/MemosDB
    pilot-xfer -i /usr/share/jpilot/DatebookDB
    (if you have pilot-link > 0.12 you can specify two databases on one line 
    and do it with one sync)
    
    - Install your CalendarDB-PDat, and MemosDB-PMem that you backed up.
    
    pilot-xfer -i CalendarDB-PDat MemosDB-PMem
    (For pilot-link 0.12 you can specify multiple databases, an older 
    pilot-link will need to be run twice with each database).
    
    Thats it.  Let us know if it works.
