I've had most people with 3c589Cs say that they do work with that driver.
It only seems recently that people are jumping out of the woodwork having
all sorts of problems with these cards. It looks like most of them are
hardware problems (either damaged card slots or dead cards), so yours
should work. If it doesn't work in your Newton, step #2 should always be
to find a friend with a PCMCIA slot and try it in there (well, a friend
with a notebook with a PCMCIA slot of course :)
