I have the Lantern DDK, though I've never seriously looked at it. I'm wondering
if an ATA driver could be made to work. Anybody knows for sure?
What about ATA cards requirements? Are they compatible with the Newton at all?
This question, if we can use CompactFlash cards (ATA-based) comes on a regular
basis, and we always read the same response, that there's no driver for it. But,
suppose a driver was there, would there be other concerns or show-stoppers? And
if someone is really into that kind of low-level stuff, do you think that it
would be reasonnable to write such a driver?
