Yes, the included uSD pak image is awesome and has a ton of great software on
it.  I did play through 2 or 3 of the Kings Quest games and Winnie the Pooh
with my daughter using the uSD pak a couple of years ago.  I think I ran into
trouble when I loaded a bunch of other disk images later and quite a few of
them did not work.  If I remember correctly, most of the Radio Shack demos
didn't work.

But it's okay, the uSD pak is great, my original point was that I'm excited
about the capabilities of the new Coco SDC as well.  Using a FAT32 filesystem
with hierarchical directory access is actually a huge plus too.  I normally
don't have any machines in my house booted into Windows, so having to use the
CoCoPak utility to transfer images is pretty inconvenient.
