Victor,
I have two Toshiba PMCIA Card Hard Drives that I currently use with a
laptop, a 2GB and a 5GB. I have downloaded the ATA Support driver, but
not had a chance register it or to try it. I guess I am going to have
to just jump in and try it, but I have a couple of nagging questions.
#1 - How does one partition a big drive into 256MB partitions on the
Newton?
#2 - Since the Newton only technically recognizes two cards (2 slots)
do I waste everything over the 512 MB size (Two 256MB partitions)? Or
can I do lots of partitions on one card.
Nancy
