Sure.
I have a dual PCMCIA card slot and software.
http://www.elandigitalsystems.com/copy/index.php
This is a low level reader/writer that allows me to read or write on a byte by byte basis.
This means that I can backup any card regardless of format.
I just create an image file of the card. This can be written back to a card at a later date. Backup like this takes
about a minute for a 20MB card.
Duplication is made trivial. I have 4 Newtons and once an image file is made I have four identical cards in under 5
minutes.
Also, rom cards can be backed up if you use a card with no attribute memory to copy to.
However, cost might be a factor for some people and it assumes a basic level of competency.
Anyway, it all works just fine.
