Does these mean that a standard Newt app couldn't use a CF card with FAT
layout?
If so, that would be a shame. Would it not be possible for ATA driver using
FAT to store Newt Soups as files? That way I could backup easily by
dropping the CF card in my Laptop. I could also drop MP3s on to the card
and use some other (TBA) app to add them to a Newt soup (that may also
exist on the same card).
Cheers.
Andy.
