I was goofing around with my Newton 2100 today after finding a Lucent
Silver card at work. I loaded the drivers and got it working fine.

However, when I was done playing with it I swapped back in my
ethernet card and plugged the Newton back into the AC adapter. The
ethernet card did not mount, then the Newton shut itself off.

When I was finally able to get the Newton working again it would not
recognize cards in either PCMCIA slot (I have an ethernet and a 10MB
memory card). I have done a soft reboot (from Avi's Backdrop) and a
hard reset (with the reset switch on the bottom) and it fails to see
cards. In Avi's Backdrop the card icon does appear briefly but
disappears. Cards in Extras reports that there are no cards inserted.

Did I fry the slots on my Newton?
