Andreas,
i have n.10 cards, on inserting everyone of them the Newton a=
sked to me "Erase?", i tapped "Yes",
then got always the same message: =
"error#-10557".
Paul Guyot said in a earlier posting that a low VPP me=
an that the card is dead,
so i reported the deadly state of its cards to=
the man who sold them to me,
and its response was that the driver in th=
e cards was simply totally depleted
The cards listing was in german, a=
nd i was not able to comprehend "very well" the meaning of its
phrase a=
bout the drivers, just thought the cards were vergin...i did the same tho=
ught when inserting
the first card in the Newton appeared the message:=0D
=
"This card is new, do you want to format it?" .... I thought "COOL!" ....=
.
To gain back the attribute memory of the cards (just to make them re=
cognizable again)
someone wrote it will need a factory process, so it ca=
nnot be done at home
If anyone got an idea about how to do well the pr=
ocess at home
i will be happy to give him n.5 of mine n.10 cards cards, =
just to have back 5 functional pieces
^_^ Adriano
