Is there a way to put sheets directly on the CD Cards of a palm?
What about Tinysheet programm? Actually I want to put tinysheet AND the sheets on SD-Card, but I wonder if the conduit supports this??

Checkout MsMount and McFile:

With this software installed it's possible to have any application (.prc) and the data files (.pdb) belonging to that app. installed entirely on the card, or divided across the card and the handheld.
I.E The .prc installed in the handhelds memory and and the .pdb's on the card.
There are some limitations (to my knowledge):
- The files installed on the card will be read only. In order to edit a file stored on the card, it has to be moved to the handheld first. This is easy to do using the McFile app.
- Some time penelty when accessing a file from the card, compared to accessing it from the handhelds memory
- Not possible to synchronize the files on the card
- Any apps. installed on the card will be moved to the 'Unfiled' category whenever the card is re-enabled from the MsMount app.
In my view, this makes the card best suited to hold big, read-only .pdb's used by dictionaries, maps, document viewers etc., while the applications that's using the data are more convenient to have installed in the handhelds memory.
For TinySheet app. and data, maybe the best place after all is to have it in the handhelds memory, since one probably want to edit the sheets, synchronize etc. Anyway, MsMount will help to free the space thats needed to have TinySheet in the handhelds memory, by moving other, readonly .pdb's to the card.
