We had to make quite a number of changes to get 5.20 "ship shape", so
the disc image on the 5.20 card is different to SP6 for original
ARMini. As such using something like sync-discs is not the best way
to get things in line.
I recommend that users start with the new card, then follow the advice
on the printed instructions about gently copying back data from the
old USB drive. Take your time over it, and all will be well.
