No. To use a PCMCIA Flash memory card in a Newton it must be LINEAR
Flash, not ATA. Also, on a 130 or older unit, they must be 5v/12v cards
(read/write). Max size is 32MB so far as I know.
I've bought from Alix (www.alix.com) in the past. It was a Pretec brand
card (www.pretec.com). Other vendors are NewtonOz, Tima Scientific, etc.
