[Coco] Question about the MicroSD pak

[Aaron Wolfe]

On my system, with the card sent in my SD pak and my sd card reader,
the command:

dd if=/dev/sdc of=/what/ever/sd.img

worked perfectly to make an image, which I then mutilated as desired and used:

dd if=/what/ever/sd.img of=/dev/sdc

to write back.  YMMV, this is tested only on my system but works fine here.
