Put that in your card slot and mount it.
After more than two years in development, software wunderkind Paul Guyot has unleashed the first release candidate of his ATA Support driver for the Newton. There’s likely only two ir three handfuls of people on the planet who will take advantage of Paul’s work in this particular form, but that by no means diminishes what he has accomplished. Excuse me for a moment while I get all contemplative and philosophical. Any time someone creates something that even a single person said couldn’t be created, we all move forward. We all benefit. Whether or not we are directly impacted by the development doesn’t matter, these little progressions are good things. You can forget about the additional functionality the technology affords. You an forget about the inordinate amount time and energy spent on creating something for of the pure satisfaction of seeing it ship. But you cannot fail to be inspired on some level by the raw accomplishment itself. Congratulations Paul. The microdrive is on order, and I’m sending you payment today.
