No.
The Newton needs older Linear flash RAM cards, not the ATA style cards
you'll find in stores or CF cards.
But hang on to 'em for a whil -- work is ongoing on a driver, but nothing
currently exists to let you use ATA cards as memory in a Newton. But it
may not be for older Newtons such as yours, possibly only newer models
like the 2xxx's (not sure, I may have not been following Paul Guyot's
chronicles here of his work on an driver to use ATA cards as memory on a
Newton properly).

Dunno, but I would NOT risk it. It'd be a waste of time, anyway.
Since you're a "Newtbie" ;-), you NEED to know about the Newton Community
FAQ. Check it out on various sites, including mine
(http://www.info-newt.com/faq/). Check it for answers first!
