I looked through the other posts and didn't see this mentioned so I thought I'd respond...

There's a program (for PC) called Nord Generator:

There should be a load of compatible patches available here:
http://nm-archives.electro-music.com/020_NordLead2/.

I've used Nord Generator mainly to back up patches. I downloaded them from our singers Nord Lead 2, and dumped them back into my Nord Rack 2. Only downside is that there's only 40 user slots in the NL2/NR2, unless you have a PCMCIA SRAM card. Also, I think you can only upload one patch at a time - you can dump the full 40 patches to your PC in one go.

Hope that's useful to you, and hope you enjoy the Nord. I have a Virus Classic and the Nord Rack 2, and I love them both. I find there's more detail in the Virus sounds, but the straighter sounds of the Nord really shine through at times. But I'm no expert!

Cheers,
