Berthe,
You are correct, for both classes of Newton's, I will have 2 cards to send;
card 1 is a 2 meg card with the .pkg's and the second card is to back-up all
of your data & .pkgs. Now, as DJV has pointed out, I need to look into
DataRescue. Now the MP 2x00 can obviously have the two cards inserted
simultaneously, the MP 1x0 will have to swap cards as needed.
Regards,
Paul Curtis

Wait, I'm confused now: Should the emergency card
have room for the backup as well?
I thought in slot One:
2 MB card with all the emergency packages
including the one that opens dock (?) and
in slot Two:
a 4 MB card on which to back up the frozen/dead/splintered internal store?
I guess I'm only thinking MP2x00 here...
