Dear All,

Thanks for the replies.

In fact the Newton recognises the card as a memory card, i guess, since
the slip states 'a new memory card is inserted, do you wan't to erase it?
' (I quote from memory, but that's the message).

The 10557 error pops up when tapping and confirming the 'erase' in the
slip. Would the Newton put up such a message rather then the generic
"there is a problem with this card" I get when inserting a card without
having it's drivers installed?

flash cards,

Do I understand right if I read you managed to get the cards working by
trying a lot of times (how many approx.?)

But then, what about

> It means that the card is dead.
> Sorry.

The guy states he tested the cards (how?), and I have five of them...

Best regards,

Andreas
