Mainly, I want to persist data onto the onboard Netduino memory (if there is any?) without hooking anything else up.
The idea is that I either read the data back in the next time the Netduino is plugged in (for settings), or read the data when it's plugged into a computer (for analytical data). Specifically data from sensors like temperature, ambient light, GPS Position, xyz orientation, etc.
I know there is the Netduino Plus, which has a MicroSD slot to store data via System.IO, but I have a regular Netduino 🙁

SkippyFire, you can add an SD card using the v4.1.1 firmware and an expansion shield. The Adafruit MicroSD expansion card also works.
There is a feature within .NET Micro Framework called "ExtendedWeakReferences" which can be used if you recompile the firmware and enable it--but I'd highly recommend using MicroSD instead. Simpler, standard, and powerful.
