Not sure about the first card. The Getting Started card is not a card
that can be written or erased. It should add a couple of new icons to
your
extras folder, though, e. g. (if I remember correctly) a HWR practice
game.
If this does not happen, you might want to test the card in an 1x0
Newton
before you throw it away. I think these cards used to come with the OMP
and the MP100.

If this card isn't dead, I'd trade you a 20MB memory card for it if you
pay for shipping both ways. Unfortunately I gave my only one away a
couple
of years ago.

Cheers
