What I'm tresponding to here is the following claim by AAPL:

**********************************************************************
2. The Accused Apple Computers Do Not Initiate A Memory
Integrity Test When The Internal Flash Memory Is Inserted
Plaintiff concedes that, in claims 6, 9 and 13 of the ’737 patent, the claimed
memory integrity test is initiated when the user inserts the flash memory into the device.
(Oppn. at 20 (“performing a flash memory medium integrity test … requires no manual
involvement of the user other than inserting the flash memory module into the plug
assembly of the device.”); Ex. 5, ’737 patent.) However, Apple explained in its Motion
that Plaintiff contended in its PICs that the accused computers perform a memory integrity test when the computer is turned on not when the flash memory is inserted into the device. (Mtn. at 19-20; Ex. 9, ’737 patent claim chart, at 14.)
Here again, Plaintiff does not have any response. (Oppn. at 20-21.) Instead,
Plaintiff argues about the “way” in which flash memory is inserted into the claimed
device. (Id.) But that has nothing to do with the claimed requirement that the device
initiate a memory integrity test when flash memory is inserted into the device. Neither
Plaintiff’s PICs nor its opposition identifies any evidence that the accused laptops meet
this limitation. To the contrary, Plaintiff’s claim charts state the opposite.
Plaintiff has not, and cannot, put forth a cognizable legal theory as to why any of
the accused Apple products infringe any of the asserted ’737 patent claims. Accordingly,
the Court should enter judgment in Apple’s favor regarding the ’737 patent.

***********************************************************************

What initiates the memory integrity test is not the physical act of insertion, but the recognition by the device that flash memory is present. Therefore, if the flash memory is present when the device is powered on, the device will recognize the memory and check it at that time. If the flash memory is inserted after the device is already powered on, that's when the device will recognize the flash memory and perform the check.
One way to show this might be to plug the I-Flash Drive (see link below) into an Apple product and see if the Apple product does a memory integrity test. Also, we could demonstrate that if a flash memory card is already present in a Flashback device at the time the device is powered on, that's when the test is performed.
Just a theory, but winning on '737 is really important, and it might be worth trying?
