If you mean the Linear Flash Memory cards, it depends on if a driver is
available from the card vendor for PC's or Macs.

Somebody posted something here about there being a driver for the Intel
6MB cards for PC's but not Macs.
They don't work in Macs as "drives". I tried the 6MB card in my
PowerBook.

Nope, that definitely will NOT work; the Mac or PC wouldn't have a clue
what to do with the Newton data. The Newton doesn't have a 'file system'
like Macs or PC's. It's more a distrubuted database system than anything.
