Alright, well... very quick and easy, heh. I figured I wouldn't be
findin' a better deal for a while, so I went ahead and got a $10 3Com
PCMCIA card (model 3C589D, which I know is compatible) with a "dongle",
which as I understand is required because the PCMCIA form factor is so
thin.
Still need the drivers, but I guess there should be a Newton usergroup
for that around here, heh.
What was I hearing about "mem card exchange" a few days ago? Seems like
too much to ask for someone to send me their memory card, but if
anyone'd be willing that would be truly awesome... :)
Hope I'm not annoying everyone with my newbie q's..
