Hi Efrain,
No can do. The Newton soup structure is a dynamic memory structure that
does not lend itself well to storage on a disk or disk-like (ATA) device.
Further, there are no drivers or software support in existence for this or
anything like this. This issue was explored in the Smaller.com discussion
boards with input from an ex-Newton System Engineer
(http://talk.smaller.com/Forum1/HTML/000847.html). No joy...
Regards,
Gary

I was just wondering how easy or difficult it would be for a programmer to
write a driver for a PCMCIA HardDrive for the newton. What program would
you need to achive this task? Would Visisual Basic do? The Newton Tool
Kit? would you need to know how the Newton works, Language?
What...What...What? Let me know. I think I an Idea.
