I'm wondering about this too. To use a 16mb card on any Newton, you need =

the
new ATA drivers, right? So that adds to the cost of the card. What is =
=3D
the
largest card you can use without the drivers? I use nothing but 2mb and =
=3D
4mb
cards, but it would be amazingly wonderful to have something a little
larger. An 8mb card would essentially give me a free card slot! Are =3D
there
folks out there who are now using those much larger cards and who might =
=3D
have
something to sell to the rest of us who aren't using the new drivers?
