That was the one

You can reformat the RS-MMC card under Linux quite easily. I gave myself two partitions, the first one standard FAT and the second one ext2. The 770 mounts the first partition normally, so it looks like I have a 2MB card. In xterm, I type "mount /dev/mmc<blah>p2 /sw" (or wherever you want to mount the second partition) and it's there. It's not actually that hard.
So if you have a Linux system and a reader that will read MMC you can format/partition the rs-mmc however you want? That soulds pretty useful.

As Buzz says, any chance of some further info for us linux beginners (I have a ubuntu system lying around) on what can be done and how?
