It's the first block, and it is the DOS Master Boot Record.
(I have the doc now).
If Joost can confirm that PowerBook laptops can accept Apple
Partition maps, there will be support for both. I just have to find
an unused partition ID on MBR format for Newton.
Could anyone format an ATA card with a Windoze laptop and insert it
in the Newton to tell me if they get an error different from -10582?
(this is kError_ATA_No_Partition, and this is what I get, hence I
believe either the powerbook didn't write a partition (?) or the
driver does not work).

Duh, when I tried to see the counter this morning, the Newton didn't
want to power on. Finally, it erased the Internal store :-(
(anyone noticed that?)
I have a lot of -10061 now I use NPDS. I wonder why, but this makes
me angry, and raise the -10061 research task's priority ;-)
I made a backup recently, but I lost most of the website.
