Just one note. I have a 32Mb card and a 28Mb card. Even with this
combination I don't have problems with heap.

... and IBM of course is right. It will work with notebooks and some
digital cameras but absolutely not with a Newton. And I was told a
size of more than 16 MB would take too much heap space from the
Newton, so I got myself a Pretec 16 MB Linear Flash card, and I'm
very happy with it. However, there are 6 MB Intel cards on offer for
$35, check out www.info-newt.com - I have 2 of them myself and they
work just great. There is probably no better price per MB available
anywhere.
And believe me, 16 MB is a lot of space, Newton packages are usually small!
Best regards,
Chris
