Sorry about that. I of course meant a Lucent Silver Turbo.

If his last name happens to begin with the letter "J", I have an
idea who it might be. I've pointed out to this seller that to the
best of my knowledge nobody has ever made this card work in a Newton
yet. Not that he changed his auction texts afterwards...

You might try Russ Bravo. He's the only one I know in the UK who's
selling Newton stuff, and he's a pleasure to deal with. You might
also try to get an Apple Airport station (the old one, not the
Airport Extreme one). These contain a Lucent Silver Turbo card as
far as I know.
Good luck
Frank
