The Newton slot is not CardBus so most of the data lines will have very
different interpretations. The power and ground pins are still in the same
places, but don't expect anything to work at the physical level unless the
card is some sort of dual standard card.
If the card was some sort of dual standard card, it will still not work as
the Newton does not have a USB host protocol stack built in or available.
