[NTLK] Quick notes: Terminal commands to read and write ATA card images for Einstein <--> Newton

[DoctorClu]

Got in a PCMCIA to SD adaptor and SD cards. Using the SD card with the 
Newton works great as my Mac laptops also have a SD card slot. With 
Einstein's ATA support, and what I did in the previous video, you can 
exchange card images back in forth in less than a few minutes.

Finding 8, 16, and 32 mb card images (to not overwhelm the legacy Newton 
hardware) wasn't too bad to track down on ebay.
