Paul said a while back that the chance of having a reader for Newt
formatted ATA cards on a desktop PC was probably rather low, for some
unspecified technical reasons it sounded like. What are these (short
version if possible)? Is it that the Newton uses the memory-mode access
for the ATA interface, while everything else uses the disk-based mode,
and hence most desktop PC-Card interface stacks don't handle the memory
mode? Even a way to do a straight binary dump to/from the card would be
handy for backup - just tell the Newt to back everything up to a card,
then stick it in your TiBook and do a binary dump to a file. To say
nothing about the possibilities if soup-writing cards on a Mac/PC were
possible (thought this would probably be only slightly easier than
making a Newton emulator..)
