The word would be "collected" not purchased.

Unfortunately, my adapter setups are a hodge-podge of items I've
collected over the last couple years. The first one is a Compact Flash
Card Type II PCMCIA Adapter simply labeled CA-122, manufacturer
unknown. The next one I have is an Epson brand Compact Flash (type I)
PCMCIA Adapter I snagged from a series of printers that Epson produced,
which included such a slot/adapter combo. The printer went bad but I
saved the CF->PCMCIA adapter from it.

Inserted into these CF->PCMCIA adapters are various small capacity CF
and SD memory cards. The CF Card I have is a SanDisk 256MB. The SD
cards are a 128MB (Dane Electric I believe) and a 256MB Kingston
Technology branded SD card. The SD cards then use a generic
SD/MMC->CFII Card Adapter inserted into the CFII->PCMCIA Adapter.

Guess I'm lucky anything works all, with all the adapters I'm sending
the data through.

Easy... open your Prefs in the Extras Drawer on your Newton. An option
called Sleep should be found here. Set the Newton to Sleep after 1 hour
or Never. Keep your Newton plugged in and it should not sleep, which
will help prevent the "power interrupted" reset that happens when it
does go to sleep.

 From the "Who says, 'Size Doesn't Matter'" file:
   Ever notice, when someone comments on your Newton PDA,
   the first thing they say is, "Wow, that's a big one."
