I saw a v1 and a v2 32Mb Pretec card for sale: What's the difference?
Cheers
Tony.

  Woo and Laurent,

  You replied to my post and I thank you for a quick response. I am on the
digest mode. So that means the Blue Pretec cards are read/write 5v and to
use a memory card in both the MP130 & MP2100 I can't use anything larger
than
4MB?

It's not because the card was formatted on a NOS 2.1-based Newton that you
can't write on it with your 130; it's because it's a 5 V reading and 5 V
writing card, while your 130 can write to cards that are 5 V reading and 12
V
writing.

Only cards that are 5v/5v.  I use an older Apple-branded card that is =
5v/12v to exchange data that is written/read on both machines.
