Re: [NTLK] Lousy performance from a 20M card

At first I thought I was just "bumping" the write-protect button. But
that's not the case... it's always in the "write-allowed" position, and
still reports that it's write-protected. Flipping the switch
"up" (write-protect) and then "back down" (write-allowed) while the card's
ejected seems to clear this particular error... at least for a while.

As far as formatting... when I first inserted the card, it said it wasn't
formatted for Newton use, so I let it erase/format the card. I'm not sure
if that's the same as force-formatting by opening the prefs slip, but I'll
try it!

Thanks for the tips.
