I don't know either, but there's also the question what to expect from an
ATA driver. Should it support the standard file system of these cards,
and if yes, how is the Newton expected to deal with files -- say,
pictures from a digital camera? After all, there is no such thing as a
file in the Newton OS. Or should ATA cards be used as a cheaper
replacement for linear flash cards, i.e. to store soups on?
