If you can't tell whether a particular card is going to work, then it
won't.
A quick hint is to look at the photo of the card, like on
http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=334317&pfp=cat3
See that copper strip showing on the connector end peeking out from
under the cnet badge? That's an indicator that it's a cardbus card, not
a plain PCMCIA, and is therefore 100% guaranteed not to work in a Newton
ever.
