Johan,
Sure! Linux has the ability to read and write various flash types and
formats. I did something very similar a while back, albeit not with a 1600.
There's a really good chance that your Linux system will pick up the
flash, but not necessarily "out-of-the-box". I had to recompile my
kernel before I could read flash cards...
Once the flash is recognized you may be able to mount the flash (if the
filesystem is supported by the kernel). If not, and it probably won't
be, perform a "dd" to image the flash card to a file -- it will be much
easier and faster to work from.
If the format is proprietary, and honestly I have no idea what format is
used by the 1600 series, then you might have to write a standalone
interpreter for it. I've had to do this with some old CP/M images.
Although it's not terribly difficult it does require a programming
background.
If you just want to be able to read and write files using your notebook
and don't care about being able to use them in your 1600 then things are
a bit easier. You'll still have to know a thing or two about Linux though.
