[NTLK] Backing up to ATA CF

[Woody Smith]

IIRC you need to use SBM utilities to backup to ATA card.  
Since the ATA drivers would be lost with a brain wipe you would lose your ability to read the card until the ATA package is reinstalled. 
If you have a second newton device you can beam the package if necessary.
