The question is, wheter the PCMCIA DAQ cards are compatible with the Newton
bus. There will be some which habe higher power consumption which as it will
drain the Newton accu to much. But if they follow the PCMCIA standard it
shouldn't be a problem. What I could do, is to contact NI and go there with
a Newton and at least check what error msg comes on insertion.
I would also love to have something like LabVIEW for the Newton. Not for
remote control of scopes or DAQ but for normal graphical programming.
However, it would probably require to much computing power, but would allow
much more efficient programming than any textual language.
