OK, that second switch on the RAM card? It allows you
to remove the battery. Yes, that card has a battery
inside it. The benefits are that the RAM is faster
than cards without the battery. The down side is that
if you remove the battery without maintaining power to
the card, you loose all your data. In the Newton
world, this is done by leaving the card plugged into
the Newt, removing the battery and replacing with a
fresh one. Do not remove the card from the Newt until
the proceedure is complete.
