Dale,
Are the os2 chips good? If so I would be interested in getting one.

Greg:
I recently picked up a couple of these cards with a box of interesting
old newton gear (http://homepage.mac.com/dtsteele/newtpics) but haven't
had a chance to give them a try in my mp 2100. I believe I've been told
on several occasions that there is no longer a paging service out there
likely to support them. I would still be interested in getting the
correct packages so I can at least give it a try sometime.

Can you point me towards these packages online somewhere? Also, please
post the results of your testing to newtontalk as I know there are
others interested like me in this effort.

Thanks and good luck!

Dale
