[NTLK] Back to the fold

[Rod Lavington]

Thank you!  Very much appreciated Grant.

I managed to use irda on the Lombard to get the patch and Paul’s ATA driver
installed.  By luck I still had my previous Newton’s ata flash card around,
which to my surprise had some apps loaded on it.

It hasn’t taken me long to navigate around the Newton again.  What a
wonderful system!

Kind regards

Rod
