        It would, but last I checked you couldn't write to a ATA card from a desktop that would work on a Newton (Aside from writing whole images and backup files of course.)

        I liked the Newton, but that was the final frustration for me... be nice if a solution could be found.

Perhaps it would be quicker to use an ATA card and transfer everything to
that...

        2)The lack of ease in getting information to the device. (15 minutes to
download one 4 meg MP3 over a appletalk connection is just sad.)

        So since I find these major shortcomings of the platform, I find it hard to
believe a Newton 2x00 could begin to stack up against a current platform.
