Hi Kimberly!
The Newton can only use "linear' flash ram card, not ATA, not compact, nope,
niet, nothing else!
You can probably find a good deal on eBay. Just make sure it's in the Apple's
Newton PDA section, i.e. Computers:PDA's:Apple, Newton. Then, ask about the
previous use of this card. Somebody on this list did mention flash ram card
used in a Cisco router. The router would wear out the card pretty quickly (as
you may or may not know, there is a maximum number of 'write' you can do on a
flash card), so these cards would give you problem.
Naturally, the best way to be sure is buying a new one from, for instance,
http://www.pretec.com/.
