A USB SD card reader/writer costs about $20. I'd suggest getting one and
using it to copy everything off the card to a folder on a PC. You can then
copy it from there to another card.

Alternatively, there's a program called PFB that you can install on a Palm
and a Windows PC to make the Palm effectively be a USB SD card drive. You
can find it at:

Thank you to both! I've actually installed the demo's of each and am
experimenting now. It looks as though it should be really easy to
transfer my data to the new card when it gets here on Tuesday! 512 MB
here I come!
