I figgured as much. It acts differently, for instance you can't select a
ROM card item in the extras drawer via checkmark. If you try, a error pops
up "Couldn't do that, the data is of the wrong kind" or something like that.
As for dumping it, if someone writes the code I will dump the card and share
(as long as it won't fry my newton or card heh).
