Well, I suggest to not do that. Of course, it's your data and you've
got the right to lose it (there are easier ways, though, cf
http://www.splorp.com/newton/faq/newton-faq-nos.html#IIIB2e, and be
sure to have the PC cards in when doing that to be sure to toast
them).
Even if Newton storage (linear and ATA) is transactional and you
shouldn't lose any data, it's generally not a good idea as there may
be software not doing atomic changes, there can also be some problems
with changes not saved.
