Sorry, no, it won't work. Nor will any other type of memory card you are
likely to find in local stores, even with adapters.
The Newton must have LINEAR FLASH memory (not ATA). It's an older type
of memory that's going out of style. The only place to get that these
days is mail order from places like Pretec or Tima Scientific or a few
others places/vendors.
See the FAQ for the Newton Community (URL below in my signature) for more
on memory cards and the Newton. Great place to check first when you have
questions, and the copy of it on my site (I just "mirror" it, I don't
maintain it) has a search engine.
Shameless plug: You can get a 6MB linear flash RAM card for $35 from a
fellow named Paul Braham - best deal around. See www.info-newt.com for
details. He contributes $1 per card sold to an Info-Newt reader to the
continued operation of Info-Newt. (He's only got about 300 cards left,
so don't wait too long.) These cards are for 2000, 2100 and eMate 300's
ONLY; they do NOT work in MP1x00 machines.
