Newton ROM Programmer Firmware V0.1

This is the very first working version of the Newton ROM Programmer firmware. It can clear the lower 8MB of Flash memory and write the content of the "ROM" file from and SD Card into that Flash.

Error management is minimal, and calling an SD Card function without a cad in the slot will hang the programmer.

Nevertheless, this proof of concept works surprisingly well and is absolutely usable to flash existing and patched ROMs for the Newton MessagePad 2x00.

The SdFat library must be installed in the Arduino setup, and <SdFat.h> must be changed to set SPI_DRIVER_SELECT to 2.
