You won't be able to use an AirPort card with a Newton because Apple's
AirPort cards assume the computer will offer an internal antenna that is
lacking in a Newton. All Macintosh shipping over the last year or two have
been built with this internal antenna, so that when you buy the AirPort
card, you just stick it in and plug the antenna to it.
If you want to have a similar card for your Newton, look at any card that
officially advertises its support for the 802.11b protocol, which is the
protocol used by AirPort. A good candidate is the Lucent/Agere ORiNOCO card.
