But it won't work on the powerbook, it's formatted for
the Newt

Because the Newt is not a Mac! You get this same error
when you try and stick a Mac disk into a PC, or a PC
disk into a Mac (with out the PC drivers installed on
the Mac, of course) The card is formatted for the Newt
and the Mac doesn't understand the say that the Newt
formatted it. Hey, just because the Newt has an
"Apple" logo, doesn't mean that it has be work with
Apple machines...
