[NTLK] eMate 300 vs storage cards

[Vladislav Korotnev]

In order to use CF cards you will need to install the ATA driver from
https://www.kallisys.com/ — the Newton does not support CF or SD cards
natively.
If my memory is right, though, ATA cards were significantly slower than
linear Flash or SRAM cards.

Why would it reboot with a 1M SRAM card though is a good question.
