Is this physically possible?

Could smartmedia/ATA type flash cards be electrically workable in a
newton (2000/2100/emate) if the software/drivers existed?

The whole 5V/12V/3.3V thing is unclear to me with repect to PCMCIA.

I would be interested in developing such a driver if possible.

Those smart media cards are pretty darn cheap per meg.

What do the resident experts say?
