Well I made the suggestion earlier in this thread. The reason being he
was having slow performance. I did say that I haven't used the ATA
driver much so my suggestion was a general one as I have had experience
with larger Linear cards that were slower than smaller ones. He had
already partitioned them to 32 and didn't see any improvement. He was
asking about using software to partition further as there seems to be a
4 partition limit on the card (which I was not aware of till now). And
I believe he meant software for the Newton not in other devices.
