[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Howto: migrate a Treo 650 from Windows to Missing Sync 5...

[David Taylor]

Thanks, Nik.  These instructions look great.

Could you expand on step 3?  Is there a clean method to backup my  
Treo to a Memory Card?  I have a 64 mb card with loads of free space  
and the Treo is 32 mb, so I should be able to do a backup.

I don't see any built-in method.  Is there a recommended third-party  
product?
