Since the XP already has a computer interface for firmware upgrades it seems to make sense someone could write a simple Utility program for the XP to save all the settings and programs. It should be possible to save all the factory programs and upload custom programs as well. The program already exists at Deus and I would hope they could make part of it available to us in the near future to preserve programs, settings and allow us to exchange programs. If you haven't experienced it, I can tell you as I'm sure many others can as well that customer service at Deus is great. I purchased my XP from Bart at Big Boys Hobbies and can't say enough about his customer service either.
