Hmm, maybe; maybe not.  A Beeb enthusiast named John Kortink has
produced an MMC interface for a BBC Micro.  It's called GoMMC and it
allows you to store files using a normal BBC filing system on a
MultiMedia Card.  Actually the card stores disk images, but makes them
available to the normal filing systems.  The card can also be
read/written on an IBM PC (so you can move it and back it up).  Take a
look at

if you're interested.
