The PCMCIA SD card adapters are essentially ATA cards, rather than the
linear cards the Newton OS expects.

Thus, in order to use them, you need to install the Paul Guyot's ATA
Driver software beforehand onto the internal memory. While that works
well, it was a bit slow for me on the eMate, but very well in the
MP2000U. 

Sadly I have lost the link to the software but it is likely on UNNA or
Paul Guyot's website, or maybe someone from the list can chime in on
that.
