Linear Flash RAM is correct. Since it's a MP2100, you can use 5V/12V or 5V/5V read/write cards. The larger cards only appear to be available as 5V/5V.
>2/ How big a card will an MP2100 accept? 32 Mb? 64 Mb?
I think 32 MB/card is correct. I do know someone who has 2 32 MB cards in her 2100.
>3/ Would the SIMPLE STI-FL/032SD work?
Can't tell you. Never used one.
>4/ What's your favorite card and where did you get it?
Pretec FAD-24 (24 MB 5V/5V). Bought it from Tima Scientific <http://www.timasci.com>
If you can live with a bunch of smaller cards, Paul Braham has 6 MB cards for $35 USD apiece. You can get Paul's contact info via Info-Newt <http://www.info-newt.com> (purchase helps support an important Newton website).
The other alternative is to wait and see how Paul Guyot's ATA driver efforts work out. When he releases it, ATA and CF will be a cheaper viable alternative.
