that would be pretty cool. just imagine: you could use an iomega
click! drive oder an ibm microdrive in your newton... all we
need is an ATA Driver. The PCMCIA controller in the MP2100 is
from cirrus logic.
but i am not sure if the operating system has memory limits. i
heard that the newton could only adress up to 32MB per slot.

anyone has informations about that?
