Jim,
I would suggest that you start by the FAQ. The URL should appear below this
message. Basically, you can't use an ATA card in your Newton without
installing the ATA driver by Paul Guyot. You can't also format or write a
flash memory card in your computer, because the Newton uses a proprietary
file format that is incompatible with the file formats used by computers.
