Hi all! I'm running into a bit of confusion. It was my belief from
stuff I had read when I bought my MP110 about six months ago that
there was only one ethernet card that worked with the Newton (the
Farallon card) and it was no longer being made. However, I checked
back at Planet Newton at
http://www.planetnewton.com/features/newtonnic.htm and the article
there now sounds as if it's being sold at $103. The review gives the
product number PN595-TP. So, I decided to go digging around at
Farallon's website. I found what looked like the product described at
http://www.farallon.com/products/ether/cards/pbpccard.html. The
prices even matched. The only discrepancy was that the product number
was PN595a-TP. I figured that since everything else matched, it must
have been an oversight on the review page. But then I noticed a nice
little note to Newton users on the page:
Note to Newton users: The new PN595a is not compatible with
Newton/eMate. Newton users should purchase the EtherWave Card (PN895).
Well, I checked the link and it simply sent me to a discount sales
page that did not have any EtherWave PN895 cards selling.
My question is, what's the deal?! Is it the EtherWave PN895 card or
the EtherMac PN595-TP (non-a) card? Or is it actually the PN595a-TP
card and Farallon is just out of it? Can you still buy either of
those cards new? Thanks in advance!
