Check your card carefully. I don't have the 4mb Apple
Newton card, but I do have the 1mb Apple Newton card
and it is NOT a flash card, but an SRAM card instead.
Make sure that your card is NOT an SRAM card.
If it IS an SRAM card, then you need to replace the
battery ASAP! If your battery is dead, then do not
remove it from the Newt. The Newt will supply the
power to retain the memory. Open the battery
compartment while inside the Newt and replace the
battery this way.
If it's not an SRAM card, then you may be experiencing
an OS bug. Check to make sure that you have the latest
OS patch for your Newt.
