The SM9FLxxxx... models seem to be ATA cards, while the SM9FAxxxx...
look like they're the linear ones. I can't find that exact model listed
on SMARTm's site, but it looks like it's likely to be an ATA card. In
which case, you can eat the loss as a learned lesson, complain to the
seller if it was auctioned as a Newton-compatible card, or talk to Paul
about buying his ATA driver.
