Did this over the weekend. I actually took out the whole mmc-mobile slot. What I did though was put an SD adapter for a mini-SD card in there. I only had a 1 GB card laying around and wanted it to be removable without having to take the thing apart and re-solder. I may post some pictures on my blog. Thanks for the kick-start.
I'm in the process of doing my own hack and just came across an interesting SD card dissection: SD Dissection
Essentially.. this particular brand and size ( Sandisk 512 MB) has an outside shell that pops off leaving a half height SD card!!! So we wouldn't need to hack the 770 at all if we could find similar SD cards of greater capacity.. anyone got a dead 1GB or larger SD to pop apart and see?
Finished my hack.. I cut out part of an ISA card in the shape of the MMC card ( the contacts are spaced just right for the 6 connectors ). A bit shorter and it works very nicely. Oh, I did have to use sandpaper to make it a bit thinner. I soldered to this "blank" and to the 2GB SD card to minimize changes to the 770. The wires were minimal as there's not much room for the wires even. I did have to take a dremel tool to the back of the inside cover as well as shave off some of the longer part of the mmc door that protruded into the case. I posted the above "half height sd" entry.. it'd be much better in all ways. Take apart your non-working cards and report back!

The earlier memory cards was big which grapes more space but SD cards are new technology which keep space free.
