Yes, you just need to mount it by hand in osso-xterm as root. Something like
Code:
sudo gainroot
mkdir /home/user/MyDocs/OS2006
mount -t ext2 -o noatime /dev/mmcblk0p2 /home/user/MyDocs/OS2006
could do it and you can see old files in File Manager in folder OS2006 inside Nokia770 item, just navigate further to home/user/MyDocs. Don't forget to unmount it
Code:
sudo gainroot
umount /home/user/MyDocs/OS2006
before rebooting or mount it via '-o ro' instead of '-o noatime' which will mount it read only so you don't need to care about unmounting.

Just keep in mind that it is not fair to compare speed of systems on mmc and internal flash (especially with faster kernel). Hacker edition is in some ways faster but sometimes slower, it can be better when running from card.
