Matt,
If you can stick in 2 cards, then you're in business! I don't think there is
even a double-thick (or what was the official name?) card in a Newton. The
only Newton that can accommodate those is the eMate. All other Newtons use
regular PCMCIA card, so you shouldn't have any problem sticking 2 of them in
your eMate: one Flash RAM card for additional storage, and one Ethernet card
for connectivity. So, I don't see any conflict.
Regarding the NOS upgrade, unless you have some kind of rare prototype, all
eMate has been shipping with NOS 2.1 in ROM. So, what you have installed
must have been a system patch.
-Laurent.
