Hello dear Newtoneers,
I have checked Victors Ethernet page and yes, there are combo cards
there - but they are no longer available for purchase. I found a TDK
5660 Global something something else - which I guess replaces the
5610 - but I have no idea if the driver for the older card works on
the newer model. Also, the new card is available at some internet
retailer for, and I hope you're sitting down, $279. Since I have a
modem card and a seperate LAN card, the need is not absolute, but it
would have been nice - but not at that price when I don't even know,
if it will work. They only offer drivers for Windogs and, no matter
how hard I try, I can not convince myself, that it would look good on
my Newton.
Now the question: At some stage, I heard, that these PCMCIA ports
have a limited life span when it comes to card insertions (I guess,
one could draw a curve with # of socket insertion on the X-axis and #
of pins remaining on Y). But forget physical damage for once, hjow
many times can I swap these card around before I should start
worrying?
Best regards,
Chris
