I’ve never used any PCMCIA cards with these models. NewtonOS 1.x don’t offer great internet connection, so it is more like fun playing with old Newton. To be honest, in my whole time with Newton, I’m the collector. Is it true, or there is another explanation? I could say that card is broken, but I have 5 cards and all of them are not working. But the question is: What happened to these cards? Why they stop working? I’m not sure, but I have in my mind that ROM memory can lost ‘content’ during years (when chip is not powored). So, I decided to destroy one of my card and find out what is inside.ĭefinitelly, there is NO battery inside. I get info that cards can contain a kind of dead battery, and because of it cards is ‘dead’. I get info that their cards not working too. I’ve asked a couple Newton gurus about it. Newton 2×00 says that card is not formated and is write protected, so need to be unlocked to format it. After clicking on ‘Card’ icon, there is info that “there is no card’ inserted. The symptoms are that OMP don’t see this card when the card is in the PCMCIA slot. So, I decidet to read about, but I could not find any interesting information.

I have a few those cards, but non of them wants to work with my OMP.

As I know, that card was sold with Newton OMP and contain some tour software to demonstrate for begginers how Newton works. Today I enjoyed playing with the Getting Started PCMCIA card.
