Jim, this time last year around, there were PCMCIA FM-tuner cards available
in India. 'Made in China', you simply plugged them into the PCMCIA slot. No
drivers necessary, they drew power from the slot itself, and you listened to
the music through a earphone jack. Only one button to scan through FM
station was present alongwith a folding antenna (somewhat like the Nokia
CardPhone). Wonder if they would work on a Newton... they made great
traveling companions with a notebook.
Can't recall the name of the manufacturer; I'll post any other info that
comes to mind...
