Yes, that is exactly what "dd" does. It dumps the raw bits from and
to devices. Since we do not have documentation on the file format (or
rather soup format) of Newton PCMCIAs, all we can do is duplicate
existing cards. And I am not even sure if that way is proven.
So if anyone has a bootstrap PCMCIA, it would be helpful if you can
read the Bytes using 'dd' and post the resulting file so that others
with the same PCMCI Flash card can generate the same bootstrap.
But maybe all that exists already?
