Be aware that parts of the Apple Internet / Ethernet software will
insist to be installed in the internal memory. It will refuse to
be installed on a card. The only way to get it on a card is backing
your Newton up to a card and restoring the backup on the other Newton.
So while it is correct that the card loaner project will allow you
to get these packages onto your Newton, it is a trifle more complicated
than simply moving them from the card to your Newton's internal memory.
If someone has figured out a reproducible way to make the Apple
software install on a card, I'd be very interested.
