[NTLK] Odd PC Card Issues

I just scored 2 cards that have "issues"
1- a MAGIC RAM, "Solid State Card," Flash, "ATA FLASH CARD" just gets
a "problem" notice (error -10582) in my 2100, and causes kernel panic
on my OS.X.4 PowerBook (ouch);
2- An Apple Newton "Getting Started" card is described in my 2100 as
being unformatted but locked - however, there is no physical switch
to unlock it.
Any suggestions? Are these just dead? (Like, maybe accidentally wiped
by a mag-field?) Any hope for re-usability?
