No, there is absolutely no way to connect via IrDA between a Newton and a=

PowerBook. Forget it - just forget that they even have IrDA ports.

No again. The Linear Flash cards are not compatible with the SanDisk type=

cards (same technology as CF cards). And even if they were, no OS other t=

the Newton OS is able to work with its 'soups'.

I'm afraid, you need to install the driver for your card (Farallon driver=

3Com plug-in) via serial cable to your Newton, or have it 'beamed' from=20
another Newton to yours. After the drivers are installed and selected for=

AppleTalk, then you can connect your Newton to your Mac via ethernet.
