Yes, but with the help of the ATA card driver by Paul Guyot. The Newton OS
can handle all flash RAM cards, which are "linear" flash RAM cards, but the
compact flash cards are "ATA" flash RAM cards, which isn't exactly the same
as "linear". So, you need an additional piece of software which is, in this
case, the ATA driver from Paul.
