It didn't work any better.. Still message -10607 even when formatting
from the Prefs.
I took a deeper look at the Flash card using a Cisco 1600 router :
4096K bytes of processor board PCMCIA flash (Read/Write)
Chip Bank Code Size Name
1 1 89A0 2048KB INTEL 28F016SA
1 2 89A0 2048KB INTEL 28F016SA
(please notice the card is listed as Read/Write)
Intel Serie II 28F016SA happend to be the chip used by Pretec as well:
http://www.pretec.com/index2/product/SSD/FR2.htm
and this card is listed as Newton compatible on that webpage.
Could this be that because the card was used in a Cisco router before,
the newton can't format it ? Would formatting the card before in a PC
help ?
regards,
Francois
