I know that San Disk is making a combo wi-fi 128MB card which could
function in a PC Card adapter in the eMate. This would be the perfect
answer but being a Zaurus user and hearing all of the complaints with
the San Disk drivers, I am not sure what kind of problems that would
cause with the current wireless drivers for the Newton. Would the eMate
see both a storage device and a wireless card?
How do you determine if the drivers a compatible without first
investing in the card itself?
