That depends. I use the memory cards for storing NewtonBooks and
applications exclusively, while all data (Newton Works documents,
contacts, dates and stuff) is stored internally, along with online apps
like SimpleMail (because for connecting to the internet, I have to
replace the memory card by a modem). Anyway, because the stuff on my
memory card is just apps and books, there's no need to ever backup the
card. Instead, I keep a folder on my Mac, containing all the packages
installed on the memory card.

Every Apple dealer should carry these adapters.

A Belkin/Keyspan/etc. adapter wouldn't help you anyway, as the USB
adapters only support serial connections, not LocalTalk. You might borrow
a SCSI CD-R drive from someone and burn a CD with your data.
