[NTLK] Share A Storage Card

[Smith Woody]

I thought so also but the emate is unable to write to these cards.
I don't think that this is a sign of the card failing,  I have seen  
several of these cards and they are read only.
The Newton FAQ at
<http://splorp.com/newton/faq/newton-faq-hardware.html#IIB1>
is not correct.
