I reckon these pcmcia memories are actually volatile memory as opposed
to the SRAM used in PCMCIA memory cards. I just pulled the memory card
out of my toshiba 1910cs. It is labelled a memory "kit" part number
PA2012U and stores 4meg. It looks similar to the card in my newton, ie
same shape and same size but the pinout is different. In the newton
Linear storage card the connector is made of two rows on top of each
other
Bad ascii art alert!!
