It's speed is much the same as several pqi compact flash cards that I
have. I don't know
the exact access speed, but I'm sure that it can be found on the web.
So far, I haven't
even filled the first partition. I'll be backing up the entire system
to one of the other
partitions soon. I currently have over 200 packages on the Newt 2100,
and it is going strong.
The biggest slow down, is when it is switched to all icons in all
stores in extras. I have
deceided to start using text display for file names, instead of icons.
It is much faster.
I'm really beginning to like all the information that is now available
to me in my Newton!
