I would think that your card is toasted, sorry. If you have access to some
PC laptop, I've read a few times that some people have been able to use
their cards in such laptops because they have (as opposed to the Newton OS)
the ability to map out the bad sectors that can occur on the card. As far as
using it with your Newton again, I think you can forget it, unfortunately...
