hi, is it possible to do that? clone the firmware onto the new one and go for it?

Re: chumby one: exchange micro-sd card possible?

Theoretically (I haven't tested this yet), you could use something like "dd" to copy the first 500 megabytes off of the card, then copy it onto another card.  Then, either delete partition 6 off of the new card, or plug the new card into the chumby one and power up while holding down the screen and hit "Restore Factory Defaults" (which, among other things, deletes partition 6).

It should then reboot twice, and you should be running just fine with your new card.

I should mention that this isn't officially supported, but if you do happen to get the SD card in a state where it won't boot, it's not catastrophic at all.
