   I have a 4MB flash card I use exclusively for making backups on my MP2100. I did experiment with making backups to a larger card I was also using to store programs and had a nasty experience (everything got zapped). I don't know if it was a result of mixing backup and package storage or just a fluke, but I haven't tried that again.
