Hey--

   Can you connect the card to your workstation or laptop? I recently
worked on a project that required multiple 3845 routers. I upgraded
the IOS and placed a base config each flash card with my laptop (flash
card reader with a USB interface on it).

   Windows XP saw the flash card as another drive and let me read and
write to it.
